			* We fixed a bug that crashed the game when it tried to render a beam emitter with an invalid section length [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004-testing/issues/238 #238]
			* We fixed a bug that crashed the editor after using the eye dropper tool to select a color [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/542 #542]

		We have some great stuff in store for you this time. We should be feature-complete now as far as the 3374 patch is concerned:

		* The Russian font textures are now conformed to the original textures, so players using these textures should be able to play online without any issues
		* We fixed a log warning in GUI2K4.UT2K4Tab_MainSP.UpdateScreenshot [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004-testing/issues/233 #233]
		* Wireframe mode should now work properly in AntiDrv and D3D11Drv [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004-testing/issues/231 #231]
		* We finally found and fixed the bug that was responsible for the unusually high input lag in UT2004 [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/57 #57]
		* Several of the skeletal mesh animation functions will now log more informative warnings when they encounter invalid mesh or animation data [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/483 #483]
		* We fixed a regression bug that made it impossible to load some of the CBP2 player models [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/509 #509]
		* We made the HRTF handling in ALAudio more intuitive and tweaked the default settings. The updated defaults will fix the bad audio quality a lot of people noticed in preview 23
		* We added a checkbox for enabling EAX to the in-game menu
		* UCC will now use the system locale. This change will make non-ASCII characters appear correctly in the system terminal [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/516 #516]
		* We fixed an array out-of-bounds warning in xVoting.xVotingHandler.GetDefaultMap [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/517 #517]
		* The web admin will now convert non-breaking spaces back to spaces in form content
		* UCC and UnrealEd will now use unique names for the temporary files they create during package saving [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/513 #513]
		* D3D9Drv will no longer use a lockable back buffer. This change will reduce the input lag when playing with this renderer
		* We fixed several issues in AntiDrv and D3D11Drv's handling of moving spotlights. These issues caused weird glitches such as large black/dark spots on terrain that was supposed to be illuminated [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004-testing/issues/236 #236]
		* We fixed an AntiDrv and D3D11Drv issue that made some texture combining operations produce a result that was much too bright. This was visible, for example, in the KFMod intro menu
		* We fixed an IpDrv bug that made TcpLinks not report gracefully terminated connections to UnrealScript code when running on a Windows machine [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/521 #521] [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/349 #349]
		* We fixed a bug that made the settings menu change your view rotation after closing the menu [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/532 #532]
		* The macOS version of the patch now includes a brand new Metal renderer [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/495 #495] [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/493 #493]!
		* If you do not use the -MULTIHOME command line parameter, IpDrv will now attempt to find the IP address of the network interface that connects you to the internet. This change should ensure that functions such as IpDrv.InternetLink.GetLocalIP return a sensible IP address
		* We fixed a bug that broke loading of the karma asset database on macOS. This, in turn, broke ragdoll physics for most macOS users [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/529 #529]
		* Gamma correction on screenshots is now optional but enabled by default in AntiDrv and D3D11Drv [https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/525 #525]

	=== ~~UT2004 Patch 3374 -~~ Preview 22 ===

			Preview 23

			Most of the changes in preview 23 are listed in this commit.

			Additional changes include:

			* ALAudio no longer applies HRTF to 2D sounds (#427)
			* The game should now retain the -nohomedir command line parameter when relaunching on Linux and macOS
			* Changes to the FOV setting will now persist after restarting the game
			* We fixed a typo in UnrealGame.Bot.Hunting.FindViewSpot (#446)
			* SDLDrv will now attempt to change the display mode when changing the fullscreen resolution on Linux/arm64. This change dramatically improves performance on the raspberry pi
			* We implemented several optimizations for AntiDrv
			* If you enable the "reduce mouse lag" option when using AntiDrv on Windows, the renderer will now attempt to use a DXGI swapchain on supported devices. This type of swapchain reduces input latency substantially
			* All renderers now have their UseStencil setting set to false by default. This is necessary because the BSP stencil builder code does not handle portals correctly (#471)
			* We fixed an AntiDrv bug that made certain combiner materials render incorrectly if they used the CO_Use_Color_From_Material1 or CO_Use_Color_From_Material2 color combining mode (#469)
			* The UWeb.WebRequest.Dump and UWeb.WebResponse.Dump functions should now work as originally intended

			We also fixed a few regressions that were introduced by the 3374 patches:

			* We fixed a regression bug that broke scripted textures in online games (#405)
			* We fixed a crash bug in AntiDrv
			* We fixed a major performance regression that made CPU utilization on servers gradually increase and that could make the server hang for a very long time when switching maps
			* All keyboard keys should now work as expected when playing on Linux with Wayland
			* The editor lightmap builder will now ignore projectors, as intended
			* We fixed rendering glitches in AntiDrv and D3D11Drv caused by improper treatment of twosided materials
			* Fixed an accessed none error caused by the new custom voting handler mechanism

			This build has a known issue. The numpad currently does not work for chat and text fields on Linux and macOS systems. The fix for this issue will be included in the first release candidate.

	== Preview ~~19: Changes since Preview 18~~ ==		== Preview 22 (draft) ==

	~~Thank~~ you ~~all for your patience!~~ The ~~end~~ of the ~~semester~~ is ~~always~~ a ~~super busy period so~~ this ~~release took~~ a ~~while longer than expected~~. Special thanks to YoYoBatty for contributing several of the bug fixes. Changes since preview 18 include:		A small set of high-impact fixes and improvements:
			* We fixed a bug that crashed the game on maps with invalid MyLevel code (e.g., VCTF-ThermalPlayGround-2)
			* You can now use the Core.Object.AllPackageFiles(out string FileName, optional string FileExt, optional string Prefix) iterator to iterate through all package files with the given prefix or extension

			* ALAudio will now play 2D sounds without HRTF and 3D sounds with HRTF by default. You can override this behavior by setting ForceHRTF to True or False in the [ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem] section of the ini (this is still being worked on)

			== Preview 21 ==

			Another really small update. This fixes a problem in the UnrealScript compiler. It also fixes an issue that truncated crash logs.

			== Preview 20 ==

			This preview contains a few small bug fixes and improvements.
			* AntiDrv and D3D11Drv now support two fullscreen scaling modes:
			1. Stretch (default): stretches the rendered image to fill your entire screen but does not preserve the aspect ratio
			2. Aspect ratio: stretches the rendered image as much as possible while preserving the aspect ratio

			You can enable aspect ratio scaling by adding the ScalingMode=AspectRatio setting to the [D3D11Drv.D3D11RenderDevice] or [AntiDrv.AntiRenderDevice] sections of your game ini. We will probably also make this setting configurable in the menu soon.
			* AntiDrv, D3D11Drv, and OpenGLDrv now apply the same brightness, contrast, and gamma correction to screenshots as they do to the game
			* We fixed a bug that prevented some maps from loading
			* The mutant game mode now registers kills correctly (https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches/issues/497)

			== Preview 19 ==
