IMPORTANT - Windows updates
Since Windows Vista, a fresh Windows does not have the complete DirectX support.
It is common for games and some software software to update DirectX during a full install so you may have installed some of it already.
To fully support DirectX 7, 8 and 9 you will need to use the "DirectX End-User Runtime", to install the missing files.
DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 (95.6 MB)
DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
Since Vista, newer Windows security can block UT99 and UEd2 from functioning properly, especially if you install into the regular "Program Files" folder.
You should install UT to another location eg. "D:/UnrealTournament" and exclude the game and editor from "Data Execution Prevention (DEP)"
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/turn-off ... ention-dep
Since Windows 10 the old DirectPlay API has been depreciated and disabled.
To re-enable it, open "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel, and then click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
Now look in the "Legacy Components" section and you will find the option for DirectPlay. OpenAL(EAX) generic driver: https://www.openal.org
UT FIXES
* If you have installed the complete GOTY edition (both CDs), you may need to fix 2 problems.
Disc 2 contains some broken textures and mutator.
You can use the original "DE.u" file from CD1, or the fixed version above.
* The broken textures can also be replaced from CD1, or preferably replaced with the new improved textures available from http://www.uttexture.com (download links in the Pimp my UT section).

Multicore Laptop fixes (Not needed since patch v469)
The variable speed issue is usually because of the way Laptops change CPU frequency (It is a hardware issue), but also because the frame rate needs limiting.
AMD have official XP updates, and there is a few fixes for UT itself.

Often you don't need them if you lock your power profile to "maximum" while installing.
It is good practice for all users to do this during install, as UT records the CPU speed it sees at that point.
The installer does not use much CPU, so the speed is always lower than when you actually play the game.
The multi-core fixes, simply stop the game from changing cores by locking the CPU affinity to core 0.
Below, you will find links to helpful guides to getting the most out of UT and your modern PC.
Here are the various updates you need for a modern gaming experience, and to keep you retro-gaming into the future.
NOTE:The original D3D and GL renderers are made for DirectX 5-7 cards on Windows 9x. The GL renderer was also unfinished.
NOTE:Generally nVidia users should use the new OpenGL renderers. ATI and intel users should use the DirectX renderers.
The renderer updates can all be downloaded from the original sites, where there is lots of info.

Creative Labs, EAX patched Galaxy driver, and sound profiles. This update makes (some of) the original maps sound amazing.
(See the link at the bottom for Audio Tweaks configuration)
The software to create and edit the EAX profiles was EAGLE v2.0, and has been found.

OldUnreal Multimedia Pack (OMP) New Video and Audio renderers
https://www.oldunreal.com/utpatches.html - [ Forum ]
These are the same as the ones available for the new Unreal 227 patch.
Since "OMP0.99b-UT436-UT451" (the bottom file in the OldUnreal UT patches page), UT99 has been able to play OGG files and has an EAX system to replace the functions of the Creative Labs patch.
Since version 2.2 it can play MP3, FLAC, OGG and a huge amount of extra tracker module formats, including OctaMED.

Marijn Kentie's enhanced video renderers (for Windows Vista and above)
Unreal engine Direct3D 10 renderer
Unreal engine Direct3D 11 renderer (proof of concept)
These allow much more modern features for map-makers, and some modern projects may require using these.
If you have a problem using the latest video renderers, you can use the previous versions.

UEd NOTE:
Once you choose the new renderer you want to use, and set it in the UnrealTournament.ini, also change the Windowed renderer to match. eg.
Code: Select all
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
