Hi all
I have a Video issue and a Network issue with this game

Video: I Don't have FSAA (Full Screen Anti-Aliasing) capabilities to enable or that work in the gam
even though the card (ATI Radeon 9500 Pro) supports it, I have the latest drivers downloaded from the web (Catalist)

Network: I use a 837 Cisco DSL Router with a 1.5 MB ADSL Connection, I can play multiplayer games, but I can't start a server, Dedicated, and None-Dedicated
each time I do, even though I don't mark the [] Lan Game square, it posts my server only on LAN games and shows my port as local (192.168.120.254 port:7777
I checked my Network settings against other machines that ARE running servers (Dedicated, and None-Dedicated) and mine were the same from what I've noticed

Hi Icefox,

For the Video issue, since the AA technology works on your system, but not in
the game, I would contact Atari to see if there's a patch or if it's a know issue:

The Network issue could be solved by changing the priority of your NIC's:
To verify this behaviour, click Start / Control Panel / System / Hardware Tab
/ Device Manager, click the + next to Network Adapters, right click the adapter
which accesses the LAN, and "Disable" it from the right-click menu. If that
works, open Control Panel / Network Connections, click Advanced / Advance
Settings / click the Internet NIC Connection and then the UP arrow to change
it's priority so it's at the top of the list.

AA setting is in the ATI advanced video settings, 3D tab -Custom settings
button. If desired, you can force AA in the Custom settings. The various
default settings associated with the main slider control are displayed in
the box just beneath it. The default for AA is to use the "application
preference" when the slider on the ATI 3D tab is set anywhere between
"Optimal Performance" and "High Quality", but as you found, UT2003 has no AA
setting. When the settings slider is set to "Optimal Quality" , 2x AA is
enabled regardless of game preferences. Under the "Custom" settings button
you can uncheck "application preference" and then set the values to
whatever you want. When you get some combination that you like you can
save all the settings as a custom profile. Same goes for OpenGL.

WRT the server problem, you need to open port 7777 in the firewall on your
internet connection in order to run a game server. If the firewall is in a
router, how you accomplish that depends on brand and model of router.
