Tweak UT graphics/sound to the max

[SkaarjMaster]

Oh well, I following the instructions for moving those files out (pg 1 of this thread), installing fix, then moving them back, and I also installed all new texture files (UTRP) after, so I don't know what it did but it's too late for me.

I guess whatever it changed, it won't matter unless I decide to run a server and that will never happen. I just thought I'd ask, because I can't remember exactly what the fix does or even if I ever knew. I'm usually pretty careful about installing stuff and I check all the files to see if any new ones or changed stuff as well as checking the UT.ini and User.ini files, so I don't think it changed anything important that wasn't changed again later on with something else (if that makes any sense at all).

Ok but I play on several public UT servers and some have that problem and some have not... but I don't know all the admins of those servers so I need to fix it another way.

These are my PC specs:

OS: Windows 7 32 bit
Asus P5E motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU 3.0Ghz
2048MB RAM
DirectX 11
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512
Display mode 1680x1050 (32bit) 60Hz
Nvidia version: 190.38

How can I get the best UT settings to play? Also can somebody help me to change maybe my unrealtournament.ini
Really would like to play UT in its best graphics but i need some help with that..

Kind Regards,

For the easy beast try this all patched V3 http://unrealtournament.99.free.fr/f...ic.php?f=4&t=7

Windows 7 you can't play on a utdc anticheat server.

As far as I can tell UTDC has compatibility problems with x64 version of Windows 7. I don't know about x86 (32-bit) version though.

Ok my graphics settings are now pretty good but still got 1 issue.

Just installed fresh installation of UT and applied opengl 3.5 and now it's pretty good but my crosshair is very blurry and also when I zoom with sniper the green crosshair is very bold. Does anyone has a fix for that?

[Raynor.Z]

Unfortunately that's the way UT draws crosshairs with higher resolutions (it does not scale well) so best was is to use dot.

There was a sort of fix in the works but I haven't had time to continue with the mutator. I might be able to resume work on it in September though.

[Sirax]

Ok, I hope the fix will be finished asap and that he works.

Hope to here from you soon about the fix

[SkaarjMaster]

It's better to use a dot anyway and make it pink so it can be seen on most maps.

[CSLA*Jackal]

Hey guys.

After a few months I've come back to check out if there's anything new about UT crosshair blur/size fix.

Any update to this issue ? (which would be client-side).


I can't believe there's no fix with the great boom of widescreen panels.


Thanks,
Jackal

The link in the OP to the OpenGL driver seems to be broken, but there's a working one here: http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/

It's also a newer version of the driver.

[Adelheid]

Does anyone else always have problems with UT after installing Unreal Anthology?

Can I immediately run 2004 in max settings? Hell yeah!

Can I immediately run UT in 640x480 with system graphics without the vision and sound stuttering like I'm trying to run it on a ramless 386? Nooooooo....

Grr... Mumble... Grr...

[Mang Nux]

In the OP, he's listed all the cfg settings for OpenGL and what he thinks they should be set to, but is there a list somewhere with descriptions of exactly what each setting does?

[GreatEmerald]

Yes.

Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted.

[UnrealGold57]

I like Direct3D, but OpenGL is way better imo.

[Carbon]

For UT99, OGL is better. Used to play in Glide, but...well, you know. High-res textures (extreme end) are also a must, IMO.

[medor]

In UT99 with Glide i can use only 16 bit

Glide not work with High-res textures.



Please give your settings

No ****. When UT came out it was 256x256 max and 16-bit only for a Voodoo card. Had you had been the so-called oldschool player you claim to be you would already have known that.

No amount of settings will allow GlideDrv to break arbitrary Glide 2 API limits. To get hi-res textures on a 3dfx card, one would need to use a Voodoo4 or Voodoo5, and the same utglr driver to decompress the DXT1 textures filling up that poor video memory.

Indeed. I said "used to".

Back in the day it was the real deal, but Glide has long gone the way of the dinosaurs (I thought RDRAM would fly too).

Makes sense I suppose; OGL works very well (I think the visuals are comparable, even in 16 bit) and again, with the high-res textures the game looks better than ever.
