Updated 10.3.3

everything seems to be just fine , honestly cant notice any differences from 10.3.2 , although i must say i have never had a problem with any software like a bunch of people on this site have had , no crashin or anything although i think my ichat 2.0 not beta will eat up 90% of my cpu at times . i have to quit the app then reopen it , probably gonna just get the beta version later tonight after my photoshop class.

Believe me, there is a BIG bug in the UT2004 Demo. On Single Processor Macs it runs with maximum the half frame rate, try this:

Open home/library/application support/unreal tournament2004/System/

and edit the UT2004.ini file just with Textedit.

Change:
Channels=6
CacheSizeMegs=32 (your VideoRAMsize)
VARSize= 32 (again)

at OpenGL (not Direct3D ;-):
LevelOfAnisotropy=0

and if you want:
Use16BitTextures=True

These was just small tweaking! Now to work around the bug you MUST turn off audio, to get 2 or 3 times the frame-rate as before (indoor runs very smooth now on my 800Mhz iMacG4, all effects, high resolution, etc.)

THIS IS IMPORTANT (ONLY single-CPU Macs!:
The same file as before:
Open home/library/application support/unreal tournament2004/System/UT2004.ini

UseSound=False

At the Engine.GameEngine!

This is extremely important, turning off the sound works around the bug UT2004 has with single CPU machines. It runs at least twice as fast then. You will see it, now even the menu runs smooth :)

Dude.. THanx. It helped a lot! plus 15 fps!
 
Active Directory

OK, for all of the people that still have network browsing problems, i have a suggestion. launch Directory Access and check the Active Directoy box. if you do this on both machines it will increase the likelyhood of functional browsing. (at least that's my experience).

it got browsing working for me in 10.3.2 even. (sometimes)

hope this helps...
 
Ok, problems noted:

When the columns view is checked in Finder prefs (always open in column view) Servers you mount, if you open them from the desktop don't open in columns view (though apple did fix this with non server folders)

Some SMBs while browsing will report "Cannot be found" when it should be "Pass/login not correct".

other than that, so far so good. Looking forward to being able to browse again.

it still doesn't see my iBook or iMac on the network unless I manually feed it the IP address of each, that's total BS.

make sure appletalk is on all the machines the the name will show up in the network menu... but look in the local server folder?? (if you in panther) other wise your have to load in an ip...
 
And the reports keep flying in! Okay, I downloaded it to my Pismo, running a Sonnet g4/500. No problems after restart. BUT, decided to finally download the OSX driver for my contour unimouse. Restarted, and BAM! Just the Apple logo comes up now and stays there(waited a few minutes and still nothing).
Any ideas on how to get past this or remove the evil from Contour (aside from waiting to get home to pop in my Panther disk)?
So, moral for now: Do not try third party drivers that seemed to work fine in Jag (yes it stopped working when I first installed Panther).
CRAP! :mad:

While you're at it also check the Appletalk box. In Panther that was off by default. Not sure if it now is on. I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out why the network at my work wasn't working. Turned on Appletalk and then no problem (this was when Panther came out). This is different then turning on Appletalk in System Prefs/Networking.

Somebody give this guy an Oscar *claps*

I made the choice to take the risk of losing any data. ADC members pay a fee to be members, I don't think Apple would stop sending them releases. And when things go wrong, simply reinstall from CD. Save your breath unless you're willing to be helpful.

So, why are you asking for others to help you then? You know the answer. Re-initialise your hard drive and re-install.
 
Networking Much Better

I'm here at work and i notice a big difference in networking. Local shares pop up right away when browsing (used to take 5 secs at least for them all to appear) - and when you connect to a host with multiple partitions, you are shown a new window with a list of the individual partitions to log onto - all the partitions on the host aren't just automatically mounted (networking now functions just like in the good old days of jaguar). Mounted partions now also show up in the left column of your finder window and on the desktop. Everything back to normal. Thanks apple!
 
Better!

First observations on PowerBook G4 ti, 1ghz, 512ram:

1st restart sloooooowwwwww - 4:30
2nd restart better than x.3.2 - 2:15
Snappier overall
Safari render time better
only one or two permissions repaired
Mail much more responsive
Networking wat better! Esp SMB :)
xbench nearly identical total score 94.21 for x.3.2 vs. 94.56 for x.3.3
xvench cpu score way up, while disk score way down

All in all a good update IMHO.

Well I installed on my 12" 1GHz, browsed my Windows beast effortlessly and am now sitting here enjoying the sound of my fan. Endlessly. Never used to be on all the time. Is 10.3.3 that hot?
Click to expand...

It's probably because when you first boot up into 10.3.3 there is a fix_prebinding script run. So if that takes a long time to run on your computer, it can keep your cpu pegged at 100% for a long time, which will turn your fan on. Though if the script didn't take long then my theory is wrong. :mad:

i have access, but i waited, cuz i didn't feel like reinstalling when it was coming out in a few days.

maybe you should sync your boot drive somewhere before letting loose with the monkeying. makes for a quicker recovery.
 
I noticed after I installed the update that when searching through my campus' network it would consistently freeze up. Hopefully it was only a two time coincidence! ;)

Build Number?

Would someone post the build number, please? 7F44 was mentioned, but I'm an ADC member, had already installed 7F43 over the weekend, and I'm not seeing the update in SWU. Curious.

Of course, my iBook and iMac running greatly superior network ease-of-use 10.2 JagWIRE, just go to the "Go" menu in the Finder and boom, everything is there. So I still don't get why Apple effed this up, and why they have made it HARDER to browse the network.

Have you even *considered* the possibility that your problem actually lies
in a bug in Jaguar, and not Panther? Perhaps Jaguar is working, but in an
incompatible way with Panther?

Perhaps if you upgraded the other two, everything would work fine!
 
i knew it!

I knew today had to be the day! Oh Y oh Y didn't I bring home my PB? I hope it fixes stability on my PB when I install it tomorrow when I first get there! BTW, what time was it released? Im CST, so i can convert :D
 
FinalCutPro not working

Nevermind. Works fine now.
{Now that I updated to 10.3.3 FinalCutPro 4.0.2 does not work....el crasho! Not good. I'm on a 1ghz MDD w/1mb ram.
:(
Anyone else having a problem?}
 
System Profiler

I can't run the update until I get home tonight. Will someone please check something for me?
If you have a third-party LCD monitor, check its listing in the System Profiler and see if it says "CRT"

I have a KOGi L7EH 17" VGA monitor that worked fine with Jaguar, but under Panther it lists as CRT rather than LCD. In addition, some full-screen games give an "out of range" monitor error when I try to play them. I have to force-quit the games to get the monitor back. Everything works fine when I hook up my little Sony 15" CRT and the monitor is detected and listed by model in the displays menu!
This has happened on both my old B&W and my new G5.

Thanks in advance
