UT99.org | Unreal Tournament Community

• As of December 14th 2022, All Unreal and Unreal Tournament titles have been taken down from online stores until further notice.

• Epic's PR Team created a lot of chaos within the Unreal Communities with the above news, making it seem they are erasing The Entire Unreal Franchise from the face of the internet.

• Master Servers are officially down, however thanks to new Community Master Servers, there are still ways to play online.

• As of February 2023 the Unreal communities have created new master servers for each UT game.

• -Gain access to Community Master Servers by updating to the 469d patch available here: https://github.com/OldUnreal/UnrealTournamentPatches

• -Instructions from Buggie for 469d features or how to manually add additional Master Servers to older UT versions found here: https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1 ... 63#p139905

• -Official Master servers have been shut down, but the new Community Master Server via Openspy is operational.

• -Follow this link for further instructions: https://ut2004serverlist.com/

• There is still no news from Epic about UT3X, and judging from this screenshot from Steam, we shouldn't count on it happening.

  

  
  ~Epic really screwed the pooch with this one~
  
  -Since it is impossible to create a profile without access to a Master Server, you will need the Openspy patch.
  
  -Download Openspy patches here: https://ut3-ultimate.com/
  
  • -Manual Install:
    • -The easiest and cleanest way to install the patch is to use the first option, which is to download the modified UT3.EXE on its own.
    • -Open your "Unreal Tournament 3/Binaries" folder, make a backup of your default UT3.EXE ya know...in case UT3X does happen... or something...
    • -Drag and drop this modified UT3.EXE into the folder to replace it.
    • -You will then need to create a new account when you log in, which will register your login with Openspy.
    • -Voila, you are connected to the UT3 Openspy Master Server re-enabling full access to UT3.
    • (Don't forget to install MapMixer if you hate the horrendous Default UI as much as I do.)
  
  
  Fun Fact: Last year UT3 Aficionado and regular Youtube Uploader DickBird(lol) discovered that it was still possible to directly join Epic's US UT3 servers via IP address despite Epic shutting down the master servers. I'll be checking this out for myself to see if it's still the case and report back when I can. Check out his video here:
  [/size]

• The UT4 Community at UT4UU (Unreal Tournament 4 Unofficial Update) has created a new Master Server and Community Patch with added pro-mode features.

• UT4UU Discord - contains all information you will need to update and join: https://discord.com/invite/2DaCWkK

• Unreal and UT99 will only be playable online with community master servers, meaning that either players update to the latest community patches for both games, or they will have to configure those master servers themselves;
• Unreal II, UT2003 and UT2004 won't be playable online anymore, unless you know the servers location and open them directly (from your favorites, by IP/host, by an external website, etc), since it seems they don't have their own master servers;
• UT3 will be in a similar state as UT2004, however Epic plans to keep supporting it in the future, so the shut down will be temporary;
• UT4 will be completely shut down, as they strongly imply that not even offline play will be possible with that one.

UT will die with US not with EPIC.

Yes. Master server down. Buy places down. (Maybe GOG will be still alive, not sure).

Use other sources of info. GameTracker for example. Discord server. Own web server with publish direct address.

Buggie wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 8:00 pm What need do UT99 players:

1. Open your UnrealTournament.ini, search section UBrowserAll, ensure it look like (only important options shown):

Code: Select all

[UBrowserAll]
ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=utmaster.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut

ListFactories[8]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.telefragged.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=ut
ListFactories[9]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.qtracker.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=ut

ListFactories[11]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master2.oldunreal.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=ut
bFallbackFactories=False

Pay attention to bFallbackFactories=False

2. If you use XBrowser, open XBrowser.ini find section XBrowserTabInternet, ensure it look like that:

Code: Select all

[XBrowser.XBrowserTabInternet]
bKeepMasterServer=True
bFallbackFactories=True
MasterServer[0]=XBrowser.XBrowserFactInternet,MasterServerAddress=333networks.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
MasterServer[1]=XBrowser.XBrowserFactInternet,MasterServerAddress=master.errorist.tk,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
MasterServer[2]=XBrowser.XBrowserFactInternet,MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
MasterServer[3]=XBrowser.XBrowserFactInternet,MasterServerAddress=utmaster.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
MasterServer[4]=XBrowser.XBrowserFactInternet,MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut

3. If you host UT server, ensure in UnrealTournament.ini set registration for many master servers, like that:

Code: Select all

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=utmaster.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.333networks.com MasterServerPort=27900

If you talk about 2k4 - there no published master server AFAIK.
Possible it can created by some revers-engineering protocol, but doable if this be legit or allowed by EPIC.

I am also pushing for the allowance of supporting UT2004, but that is more of a technical issue.
