Online Play.

Post by Unknown »

So I finally got an internet connection at home and I was wondering exactly what I would need to play online.

I think I got the latest version of Unreal Tournament but I don't know what else I would need as I have not been online here for quite a while and I don't know anything about anti-cheats or whatever else people use these days on online games.

You should be fine to play online if you have version 436 installed, with Bonus packs 1, 3 and 4 installed too would be good.
Of course do not use the buggy bonus pack 2 (the "de" file) :tu:
Any Downloads you need to play a server should come from the server you connect to. (Anti Cheats included) :wink:

But wouldn't it make it faster and easier if I already had those files in my system?
If so then I would like to know the most common downloads as to make it quicker to join servers.

Unless your connection is slow you should not wait so long for all the files needed. You would have to download the files anyway, now or tomorrow... should not matter.

When you downloaded the files from a server you can use a cache cleaner to copy the files to your ut installation. I use cachecleaner 3 ( http://ut.noccer.de/Tools/CacheManager )
Do not copy the .u files, just copy textures, music, sounds and maps.

You can also tweak your UT by this guide viewtopic.php?f=6&t=373

A nice tool is XBrowser, an improved Serverbrowser that can also save your favourites from being hijacked viewtopic.php?f=34&t=3284
