Is RealCTF compatible with Voodoo3 cards?

Yes. At one time Epic chose to ship an interim version of Unreal in the box with Voodoo3 cards, and it was not compatible with RealCTF (or any other released Unrealmod). The latest patch for Unreal now supports every Unreal mod, even on the Voodoo3.

Why isn't my weapon visible when I connect to a server?

This is a bug which affects all Unreal servers but which seems to happen more often with RealCTF. Simply reconnect to the server until it works properly.

Sometimes I can't fire the offhand Beamer, why not?

If you have the Beamer selected, use the Fire key to attract and the AltFire key to repulse. The offhand Beamer key binding doesn't work while Beamer is the selected weapon.

I set Show Beam Trails to True but I still can't see them, why not?

Beam trails are not visible regardless of this setting when you host a multiplayer game on your machine via the Multiplayer | Start Game menu. However, you should have no trouble in Botmatch or when connecting to a dedicated server.

The bots don't seem very hip to RealCTF. What's up with that?

Given that Epic is supposedly working on advanced Bot AI for Unreal Tournament, bots in RealCTF were given only a rudimentary understanding of the game. The bots are dumb; but they aren't quite as dumb as they could be. They will grab an artifact if they see it; they won't try to grab a second one. They will grab the enemy flag if they see it. They will recover their own flag if they see it lying around. They will even capture if they see their base while carrying the enemy flag.

However, they have no clue how to get from one base to the other, they do not know how to use the beamer, they have no concept of teamwork or playing position (offense vs. defense), and they do not recognize the enemy flag carrier as an especially important target. Expect this all to change with an Unreal Tournament version of RealCTF sometime in the future.

Why are bots invisible on a dedicated server?

This can happen if you're playing an Internet or LAN game on which the server has not been configured properly. Get the server administrator to read the Server Administration section of the documentation.
