This patch will overwrite your user.ini and ut2003.ini files, because it adds some important new properties to these configuration files.
To use it with windows dedicated servers, rename it to ut2003-winpatch2136Release.zip, open and extract it to a temporary location with winzip, and copy the system directory (subdirectory of UT2003patch) into the system subdirectory of your server installation.
We will be releasing an updated version of UDebugger and updated .uc files for mod developers shortly.
