  • 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.

Why doesn't this mod just automatically determine where the last installed instance of UT2K4 was installed and set the install path there? All of the UT Bonus Packs and patches do it. I was also one of the idiots who installed it to my ut2004 directory BUT I did install it properly the first time and was totally unable to choose it as a game type or anything. When I saw that it would automatically make the game folders, I assumed it must me put in UT2004. How's this for a bug? The unistall doesn't work at all! I tried both. Both meaning the one in the system folder and the one in the FHI folder. Yes, one from the wrong install and one from the correct install. I'll be reinstalling UT2004. Thank you. I also notice that it over wrote about three files total. Not just the cache file. I hate to say it but I feel like it's a little sloppy. I'm no pro but I'm no slouch either. Just put it in the same package as Bonus Pack One from UT and do it like that. I still like it enough that I'll install it again but I'll send the screenshot when it doesn't list as a gametype as it didn't when I installed it correctly the first time. I saw another thread where a guy was attacked for making a mistake that unfortunately it was made easy to make by using a non standard UT installer package. Flame me now but I'm on your side actaully and I'd like to see this mod really take off. Re-Release the mod with a new IDIOT proof readme or change the install package. Thanks and good luck!

yeah i noticed that. it defaulted to D:/UT2004/FHImod, and when i saw it wasnt pointing to c:/ut2004 i thought it had auto detected my Ut2004.

Its not until after i realised D:/ is my Backup Drive and F:/ is my Games :p

I think you can just make it look for a file like UT2004.exe or the folder on the machine to auto set the install path

UMODS are different, because UMODS only work if you install the game correctly; they look in your Registry to see where UT04 was installed and they take that filepath i think

You cant just start this game via UT2004 itself..unless you have the old version still installed..

The new version has made its own folder inside the ut2004 called FHIMod (after extracting of course ;) ).
In case you havent figured...to lauch the game, browse to the ut2004/FHIMod folder and double click on 'Launch FHI2k4.bat' or place a short cut on desktop for it like i did and start it from there..
This is the only way for now to run the new FHI version, there shouldnt be any problems...
