The folks over at the PlanetUnreal forums suggested I throw this issue over to you ...
I just moved on to a 2k system after playing UT without any problems in NT and 98. After installing all the latest video (GeForce II), mouse (Mouseman wheel) and UT (4.36) bits, I started it up and found lots of irritating bugs that reinstalling and rebooting hasn't cleared up.
First, my config doesn't save between sessions (perhaps not even between maps; the "autoswitch weapons" flag defaults back to "on" when I load a new map, at least). I do have write access for the .ini files. Second, the wheel in my mouse doesn't work. It can be clicked as a MMB but UT doesn't register turning the wheel at all. Finally, weapons are behaving strangely in general. At first I only noticed that the rocket launcher was prematurely discharging rockets that I was trying to load up and ***umed 4.36 had some kind of anti-spamming feature that wasn't working too well yet ... but it's inconsistent and I've seen it happen on most of the weapons, e.g. holding down the fire button for the ripper shoots a few blades then just stops, and you have to release and re-click to keep firing.
Is this a known UT-2K ordeal? I didn't see anything on the tech page about it. Anyone else experience some or all of this?
