A Notice About 3rd Party Websites

Recently it has come to our attention that, amidst what's happening right now, some people are creating websites claiming to be for Ultimate ZDoom. These are not official websites for UZDoom as UZDoom will be hosted here at zdoom.org with the GitHub repo (alternative link) being the only official place to get access at the moment. Do not trust these websites, all information regarding UZDoom's status will be here.

We're still working away at getting 4.14.3 out and plan to have a release candidate next week with a full release following shortly after. Alongside the release we'll be including instructions for transferring saves and configuration files from GZDoom for those who wish to do so. We thank everyone for their patience and are excited for its first release!

Is uzdoom dot org an example of a squatted domain, or did you devs get lucky but not bothered yet to wire it up?

UZDoom won't have its own independent site, it'll be hosted here at zdoom.org (similar to GZDoom and LZDoom). Any kind of outside site purporting to be for UZDoom isn't to be trusted.

Squatted by the look of it. It's available for $5,000 from GoDaddy if you're interested. :shock:

Going by WHOIS, squatted in response to the announcement of UZDoom.

I can believe that. I guess that must work out for them often enough to make it a viable business model. They missed the mark this time though.
