A patch is a patch even if it's for an older game. Epic Games today released a new patch for UT2003 for Linux and OS X. The patch includes numerous OpenGL, OpenAL, and Unix fixes.
New patches for Unreal Tournament 2003 are now available to upgrade the Linux and Mac OSX ports by Icculus of the multiplayer first-person shooter by Epic Games to version 2225.3.
