Unreal Development Kit - Officially dwarfs Torque in everything! (+iOS support!)

[xxjpxx]

Combine Torque and UDK and you have SUPER ENGINE!

Why has nobody else made an engine called this

I'm downloading it again. Gonna hopefully learn a bit in the next year or so. :D

unreal really does make realistic environments that immerse you with detail.

Someone explain to me why the installer acts like a richard. First I download NET installation for a few minutes and out of nowhere I get an alert "Windows will be shut down in under one minute". 10 seconds later computer shuts down. Thanks for letting me choose whether to restart my computer now or later. I really appreciate the fact that I have some say over when my computer is restarted. After reboot the screen is still dark and an installer comes up. No desktop or anything. Installer on a black screen. Why can't this be done normally like every other program? Now I don't feel like installing it.

Is it even safe to install this thing? I've heard some devkithingies pretty much ruin your computer for an end user by somehow messing with every aspect of everything making it possible to only develop games with that certain kit and nothing else.

If it is messing up your computer, it's because you are configuring it that way. You should ask a forum who specializes in UDK what to do.

I want to know who developed this installer because they deserve a slap in the face. First time you run it you need NET Framework 4 so it downloads that from Microsoft and installs it. Computer reboots with a 10 second warning time without your permission.

After reboot you must run the installer again. This time you get the actual UDK installer where you can set the folder and all but nope. It needs to install another program and again your computer reboots. This time with NO warning of any kind.

Finally after this last reboot you need to run the installer once more and now the actual UDK installs pretty swiftly.

That was the most confusing installation procedure I've ever seen. Would it really have been that hard to just download and install everything the first time and then ask the user to reboot?

For me it did some pretty ridiculous stuff, but I got past the dependencies without a single reboot.

None of that happened to me. Never had to restart, either. Weird stuff, man.

Does this mean I should get rid of my Unity3D and CryEngine?

Cause CryEngie is pretty good, but I'm unsure on UDK.

How didn't you have the .NET framework before that? :|

Most stuff still works fine on .NET 3.5.

I don't know what your guy's trouble was, I installed it in less than 3 minutes with no issues. :/

My only problem was that it installed stuff I already had (VS2010 Runtime, I already have the SDK installed, and DX9c, seriously guys, you aren't the first ones using this).
No reboots for me though.

I think I might get this...
