Default [FAQ] Known problems and workarounds for Anti TCC

If your question is about a beta version of Anti TCC, please post in the corresponding beta test thread in the General Discussion forum.

Anti TCC kicked me, but why?
If you're kicked by Anti TCC and you don't know why, post the exact kick message or include a screenshot of it.
If you're the server admin or contacted the server admin, please also include the Anti TCC log message - it might contain very useful information.

Unknown Class
With all versions currently available there's a problem with third-party voice packs, so try using a standard voice pack.

Modified Character Entry Detected
Some custom or self-made skins use the same names as existing UT2004 characters. If you have once of these you need to edit the UPL file so the DefaultName doesn't match one of the 179 default character names. Do a search in xPlayersL1.upl and xPlayersL2.upl - if you can't find the name it's save to use. Multiple custom skins with identical names isn't a problem for Anti TCC, it's only nitpicky about the default ones.

Failed to check the Anti TCC package
In this case you should try deleting everything in your cache directory and reconnect to the server.

Modified Package Detected
Another thing I've noticed quite often is a mixture of U files belonging to different UT2004 version. In that case Anti TCC often kicks for modified classes. This can easily be fixed by reinstalling any of the official patches.
A little more difficult are client brightskin packs. These often replace UPL and/or UTX files. The files xPlayerL1/2.upl can easily be restored from the UT2004 DVD's CD1\System directory. UTX (and possibly other package files like UKX, USX or UAX) need to be decompressed after copying them to the correct directory. To do that, delete or rename the modified package and copy the original version to the correct directory. Then open a command prompt by selecting start menu -> "Run..." and type "cmd" for Win2k/XP or "command" for Win9x/ME, then press Enter or click Run.
The command prompt window opens and you need to switch to your UT2004\System directory, then run UCC Decompress.
To the left of the blinking cursor you can see where you currently are. Start by switching to the drive you installed UT2004 on by entering "d:" and pressing Enter. (replace "d" with the correct drive letter) Then switch to the UT2004\System directory using the "CD" (change directory) command:
cd \Stuff\Games\UT2004\System

Now you should see "D:\Stuff\Games\UT2004\System>" and the blicking cursor behind it. You can now start decompressing the files you previously copied:
UCC Decompress ..\Textures\PlayerSkins.utx

UCC Decompress now starts decompressing the file, this should be done within a couple of seconds. If you have more files to decompress, just enter the command again for the next file after UCC is done anmd the command prompt shows again.

Client view is spinning out of control
Disable the "Rotation lock" option.

Clients experience heavy framerate drop
Disable the "Spawn fake players" option.
