UT2004 and Win 7 x64

Thanatosaurus · 29th Dec 2009, 10:07 PM

Do I need to apply the x64 3369 patch for UT2004 to run on Win 7 x64?

Googling yielded no answers.

Thank you.

No. The 64 bit build will just increase performance in 64 bit environments. What that increase might be is questionable.

I'll try running it without the patch first.

Thank you.

you can't even buy the game now that isn't already patched to 3369. If anything I'd assume you could just run the game in compatibility mode.

32-bit UT2004 (version 3369; I haven't tried any other, but they probably work too) works fine in 64-bit Windows 7 without any sort of compatibility settings.

To me x64 patch makes things slower with a 64-bit processor. Loading times have increased, the only nice part is reliability. 64-Bit servers seemed more reliable back in the day.
