Okay guys, this could get a little winded, so I apologize in advance. I just now upgraded from a P100, so this is my first chance to get to sit down and play Unreal. I currently have a P3 450, 128 MB RAM, sb16 isa (ouch), and a Dmd viper 550/Riva TNT 16 MB card. I bought the game, grabbed the latest patch (225f) and sat down to enjoy Unreal. That's where my problems start.
D3D causes my menu to get screwed up and lock up the game when I try to return to the Adv. Options menu to reset it (but I read the temp fix about 16bit desktop -- thanx /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif. Other that that, D3D looks okay, but runs rather sluggish. OGL runs like utter crap. I have heard the rumors about a new patch (which, judging from the last release notes, they sorely need) that will fix a number of problems, but it is nowhere to be found. I understand that UT is out (and is rather impressive), but I was kind of hoping to go thru the greatest single player experience in FPS games. Any suggestions on what to do would be most welcome.
P.S. I've heard that the ISA sound card can bog things down, I'm buying a SB Live at the next opportunity.
