Urban Terror

Fun Over Realism

As the leaves start turning red again and summer comes to an end, it is time for some competitive Urban Terror again, with the Urban Zone Fall Cup.

We hope you had a great summer pause, and come back, recharged and focused, to compete for the chance to claim the right of calling yourselves the best team around.
This time there will be a total of 16 teams battling it out and only a few spots are left, so be sure to head on over to urban-zone.org/index.php?name=Competition&event=179 and sign your team up!

The rules, as well as the game modes will stay the same as previous Cups, but if you’re in need of a quick refresh, they are listed on the cups page.

The 2018 Fall Cup will start on Wednesday, September 12th.
We hope to see you compete for the crown.

FS HappyDay: There are plenty of features I'm working on for the new Urban Terror, but not many are that interesting or visual. That, combined with the fact that writing blog posts takes quite a bit of time, is the reason why you see me so rarely post updates of the progress I'm doing on the game. Recently, I've implemented the crosshairs for Resurgence and that is something worth writing about.  So, let's co […]

Although we make the best effort to ensure the stability of our releases, a bug occurring on very rare occasions fell under our radar in the 4.3.3 release.

The 4.3.4 release should fix this bug, which would induce random game crashes and freezes on specific maps (especially Eagle).

To update your game client, simply run the UrTUpdater executable from your game folder. You can alternatively download the full Urban Terror 4.3.4 pack or the 4.3.3 to 4.3.4 update package.

Changelog

Updated engine

Thanks to an incredible community effort led by mickael9, you are now able to play Urban Terror 4.3 on an engine which is up to date with the latest ioquake3 features. This engine brings support for VoIP, Mumble, a new OpenGL2 renderer, and fixes hundreds of engine bugs along the way.

If you wish to try this new engine version (currently in beta), please open your UrTUpdater, go to File -> Settings and select the "ioq3-m9" engine.

Thank you!

Many thanks to the players who have reported issues on our GitHub repository. We would also like to say a special thank you to the DrunkNoobs clan as well as mickael9 and TTimo for their help with debugging the game crash issue.

The Urban Terror 4.3.4 release will include some important bug fixes regarding the game's stability and security. The crash issues on some maps and servers were especially tricky to tackle but they should now be fixed.

In order to confirm the bug fixes, a pre-release of UrT 4.3.4 is available now for testing:

Urban Terror 4.3.4 Pre-Release #1 thread

Please visit the forum thread for information on how to download and install the test build. Several servers with various gametypes are available for testing.

FS BladeKiller: Starting OverAnyone following FrankieV's videos will have noticed quite a change in the player model Sarah since my last blog. We had to start over with a new base rig so it has been quite a while since I blogged about my progress. I have eight player model outfits completed and am now working on the human morphs and their materials. I bought Zbrush in 2015 to create the meshes and materials for t […]

FS hg`.Gost0r: It has been almost a year since I posted an update on the progress of UrT. Well, that's not because we're not working on the game anymore, but rather a question of how to dedicate the time. Do I rather go down the road of recording and writing some blogpost or rather spend the time developing the game instead.  Well, once in a while when something isn't just half-finished, but moreover in a prese […]
