Overview
This patch was created to offer all Unreal players a new, completely overhauled and fixed version for our old "love". Although the main target was bug-fixing, many improvements have been made, and a lot of additions found their way into this new version. The general gameplay and the game itself were not modified and should remain 100% compatible with old mods and maps. It is possible to join older servers with this version (provided these servers do not use an anti-cheat system which doesn't recognize 227 yet). 227 can be used as Server for older Clients, such as 224, 225 and Unreal Gold.
New graphic renderers (all based on UTGLR with permission), such as D3D8, D3D9, and two heavily improved versions of OpenGL have been added, as well as new sound devices like OpenAL and SwFMod. Legacy devices, such as D3D, MeTaL and Glide renderers, as well as Galaxy for sound, have been kept for compatibility reasons.
Many security fixes have been implemented for both clients and servers. A new check has been built-in to detect hacks, bots and other cheats.
