hows it running on xp these days? I remember back in 2002 it worked perfect.

I've got the original release from 1998 but i've bought something called the anthology coz it comes with the expansion pack which i never got.


anyway to make it look all funky with st3c textures and crap?

Head over to http://www.oldunreal.com/ and you'll find all resources there. Too bad that with 227 you will lose the mission pack... But you can still use the OldUnreal Multimedia Patch, then get all the S3TC textures from http://www.unrealtexture.com/ and finally go to OldUnreal forums and get the beta bumpmapping support and it will look almost as good as UT3.

Combine it with the oldskool mod for UT. It's way more varied. A wider choice of models, skins, mutators etc. Plus there are some specific mappacks geared towards UT single player/coop. If you'd be interested in that.
But running the retail game with this mod is recommended. Give it at try.

multi-install the game, one stays original, the other mod it up (so you can play the RTNP)

Depending on your system and XP, if running multi-core CPU, you will want to turn off to just one core, retart the game using the change video card, the open the task menu (ctrl/alt/del) select Unreal, right click and select affinity, turn off all but one core, close out and play.

This stops ingame hitching, don't try this while the game runs, it screws the internal timings of the game, and everything might run slow after the fix.

It doesn't stop all the hitching. What you *really* have to do is to go into the game, open the console (~), type in preferences and then find your renderer. Then set the FrameRateLimit to 200, because the hitching happens when the framerate jumps over 255. By disabling one core I think the PC just works 50% slower so it's not even capable of getting 255 frames.
