There are many render for UT99.
Software that comes whit the game works on everything because it's CPU only.
Direct X the old one which comes whit the game and looks like shit.
Direct X 8,9 that are fairly cool ones and work like a charm
OpenGL, the brand new which I'd say is the best.
There is an addon called
ENBseries which add color correction, bloom, screen space ambient occlusion and lots of cool effects to ANY directx 8 or directx 9 game.
And finally we have a
Direct X 10 render which offers some very interesting capabilities. This is fairly new. The latest update was just a few weeks ago.
One of it's best feautures is HDR lighting and automatic brightness. Every map will look clean and bright and all the Player models will look cleaner.
Besides that there is a long list of configurable features and all the shader compile at runtime meaning that you can change all the shaders if you want to.
And external textures. S3TC is an old relic now. This allows you to replace ANY texture whit high resolution DXT5 textures and you may add alpha channels, normal maps and even heightmaps for paralax mapping. It doesn't have the skating player glitch and it's something that in my opinion the re-texture unreal project should be working with.
These shots are from the website linked to this post. The website contains hi-res of these.
So you have winXP and you can't use this in this case I'm really sorry. But you aren't missing out on anything. IT has a few bugs and since it doesn't change the gameplay you may consider it a useless mod to the game.
Probably the biggest problem whit this is that all the cheat detectors on servers consider this a cheat since it's all new. So you can't play on servers which have aggressive anti cheat installed. But this should just be a matter of time.
