hey, the graphics look way better in unreal tournament xmp. I don't know what it is. Maybe the lighting? It seems like U2XMP had more of a washed out look. Now everything is clear and vibrant. nice job!

For the levels and landscapes maybe you´re right, but some visual effects like explosions and flamethrower inferno need re-examination. Good thing is that flames no longer eat framerates but they look annonying from players viewpoint. Rocket explosions don´t look as dangerous as they really are and they´re also too small sized in general. I prefer the old one in which there were sparks and dynamics.

As far as graphics go I could never get open_gl to work correctly in U2xmp but it works great in UTxmp, the frame rates are slightly lower but the overall appearance is much better and more responsive, everything seems to have greater definition to it.
This only works on my 6800gt but doesn't do anything for the 9800xt in my other machine, runs like total crap on that machine using gl.
