Wow I <3 Epic again. BUY THIS
I can't find my UT3 dvd and the steam servers are too busy to install online.
look here, upon a sig graveyard.
Steam is getting hammered thanks to 9 bazillion people attempting to update and/or download the game for the free weekend.
Fortunately, there IS a workaround:
Pause your updating, get Patch 4 and the Titan Pack and then have Steam verify the cache. Then resume updating, and you'll only have to download a minimal (well, 160mb or so) amount.
This apparently downloaded for me when I wasn't looking and was ready to go already when I fired the game up. Score! Unfortunately I don't have much time to play this weekend.
Glad to see Epic allowing Valve to release it for a free weekend. Got some friends downloading it and I updated my copy. I'd like to see this game get resurrected.
I figured there would be a Steam sale for UT3 when Titan came out which is perfect timing for me since I'm no longer burnt out on the series and looking forward to returning (also I don't see retail copies of the PC version on shelves anymore which seems odd). It did take forever to download, though.
