Guys, probably you have lost important info/things describing v451, explanations granted by Higor were bugged by some spam posting loading forum with crap on first pages in those times by 2 sudden addicted members. Also is not the case for redundant posting but a few personal recalls won't hurt:
UTPG were (are ?) a team interested to keep UT alive - They are quiet from 2004 ? Interesting.
Patch v451 is being mainly for servers because servers are under stress not players. Why every single guy first time must fail with that update since is not the best and this is being already described. 451 is not for players.
If you don't have a good reason for updating your client stay at 436 and forget UTPG. Even 440 is borked showing retarded data at F6 key. If you are blindly trust that the last version of one thing/application is the best, well this is wrong by default, especially when OTHER dudes than developers are doing those updates.
Me personally I went in troubles with 451 even in servers. At least Windows is crashing eating memory and Linux will develop memory fragmentation finally crashing as well. As player you cannot check some map because... Editor is crapped. Something missing from Editor if was used in a map will deliver only a failure.
My personal notes post XCGE add-ons: I'm no longer recognizing any so called v451 as being an Engine - for me is not. If you want troubles keep using 451 and don't cry when things are turning into garbage.
And that 468 or such for me is a myth. Why ? Because I did not see anyone saying I have it (is good, is bad) I don't believe fantasies that easy. XCGE already does a lot of things/patches and new coding gates are open. Why should I waste time with a v451 which was pretty much painful ? I had a server ON-Line for about 3 years non-stop, What For ? For collecting crash-logs and looking at game-tracker for the most loaded map: some ResetMap. Awesome, ResetMap was the best. Right now I run 436 and alternate 440 and XCGE last version on both - I don't have a single pain - my redirect is well configured, I learned to do this from another guy helping me years ago (now is probably gone from UT - I don't know details, I'm no longer using YH messenger for years).
Want to play UT properly ? Find an XC server with sorted maps. Simple. Ah, there are not many such servers or not matching your tastes ? Okay, build one yourself. And play with 436 version, that's all.
Yes, I was playing at HOF - indeed maybe things still need tuning there, getting rid of crapped maps added in the past, making replacements properly because whatever a monster dropped items just hangs in air - and decorations dropping items do not respawn correctly as should. Because of DJ, I jumped high in some map and I felt in a BSP from the sky - LOL map and DJ. These problems for me are solved so I can breath and... I deleted ResetMap because I don't need it any more. Schwartz is a bit busy with some DM works at this moment, perhaps in future will attack MH. I'm not in charge there to sort/delete stuff, is not my server to do what I want with it, and it would be disrespectful to take decisions by myself.
Aside for this MH and generally any MH I can write another regenerator without so much iterations and timer, is not a priority because 80% I will not using it. MH2 has a changed technology, and for XC MH I don't need such things.
