UT2004 and Windows 7

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Has anyone tried running UT2004 under one of the betas of Windows 7? I'm thinking of changing over to 7 when it's released, but won't do so unless it can run 2004. Thanks.

Haven't had any trouble here on Build 7000 (the public one) in 64-bit mode.

It runs perfectly, yes. However, the editor will not. I'm not sure, but you might just need to install DirectX 9 to make it run correctly, though.

I thought UT2004 installed DirectX when it's installed. Will DirectX 9c (the last version of 9 released) run under Win 7?

AFIK Whenever a newer version of DirectX setup runs it just goes through the motions and does not replace any newer files. It's not like .NET where you can have all 3 versions running on one machine. 10 supersedes them all.

I am running Windows 7 32 bit and UT2004 installs and runs great.

Yeap, it does. However, you don't need only DX9, you also need DX8 and DX7, because basically UT2004 is based on DX8. So you will still need this:

Alternatively, if you want to use download managers:

GreatEmerald, DX9 contains all implementations of DX prior to it. He won't need to get DX7 or DX8 if he downloads DX9.
