XMP Multiple Mutators issue

Something very ill and strange has been discovered about Unreal 2: XMP (Expanded Multiplayer). When you are starting up an XMP Server and are selecting mutators, some of you may need to run more than one mutator. You select multiple mutators through the lovely GUI interface, start the game and.. lo and behold, only the mutator you had selected at the GUI screen is actually active! I'm not quite sure why the GUI does this, but if you want to run more than one mutator for now, you'd be better off using a command prompt

So, with this in mind, here's how the use the UCC command prompt method of running your XMP server.
Open up your DOS-interface command prompt (Run -> Cmd in Windows 2000/XP) and use "d:" (example drive letter) to swap to the drive your XMP installation is on, then use "cd u2xmp/system" (or whatever folder XMP is installed in).
Now comes the command:

ucc server xmp-mapname?mutator=mutatorpackage.mutatorname,
mutatorpackage2.mutatorname2,mutatorpackage3.mutatorname

... and any other options you might want to add, such as specifying an admin password, game password and so on. So here was a quick article talking you through how silly Legend's coders were. :-)

Note: I've been informed that this problem has been fixed in the latest patch.
