Updated UT2004 3236 patch

[Icarus]

The 3236 that was released last week had an unfortunate side effect of causing maps to take about 3-5x as long to load. Ryan Gordan just put out a message on the mailing list about this and released an updated patch...for those that care, here's the details of why and what ;)

So the long load times are due to a codegen bug in gcc. I have no idea
what changed that caused this, since the code that's blowing up hasn't
changed since 2003...but it looks like Unreal is moving to gcc3 on
linux/x86, finally.

Here are some new builds. If you're a Linux/x86 user, you're definitely
going to want to try these, but tentatively, in case something new and
strange is wrong. The load time is definitely fixed, though.

Linux/amd64 didn't suffer this bug; if you already had the 64-bit 3236
installed, the included binaries are identical, so don't redownload
them.

And of course, the updated patch

Cool. First thing I noticed when I played my first game, was the really long map load time.

I have a question. How do I use the patch? I don't see any run files there, and I extracted the patch folder to my UT directory. I'm still experiencing long map load times.

[Icarus]

They are extracted into a folder called UT2004-Patch, you'll have to move the files from there (I don't know why, maybe for selective upgrading?)

[lpaulgib]

Oh, so I just overwrite the old system file with the new and so on?

[Icarus]

Yes, I think it's a pain also
It should be a tarball where you cd /usr/local/games/ut2004 then untar it there...IMO :)

reckon why they gave up on that updater? That seemed like a really cool way to keep things updated...

What I've been doing is extracting the files to my home dir, move UT2004-Patch to ut2004, retar it, and extract over the old directory. A hassle, but it works!
