you can also trying adding your cpu speed into your ut shortcut(right click it and click properties), so it would look something like this
C:\UnrealTournament\System\UnrealTournament.exe -cpuspeed=NUMBER
to find the exact number you can download a program called cpu-z or core temp and it will tell you.
so for example under control panel mine is set to 3.2ghz, but with the programs mentioned the exact number is 3231
-cpuspeed=3231

1. get your PC out of power saving mode from within windows
2. in bios disable speedstepping, accelleration, cpu overclock etc
The symptoms you describe sound more like step 1 is what's happening. And the fixed launcher Raynor posted is good although it's not necessarily a multi core fix. it does do what it's meant to do and I've used it plenty on 64bit single core cpus

Re: UT runs to fast on i7 chip
I am running the game with a 4770K, nothing disabled in the BIOS, nothing changed within Windows, power settings, affinity, etc. For me, the framerate limitation (@200) is enough along with the swapinterval at -1. Dunno, but it works for me.

can this be moved to a better section please ?
This has nothing to do with the site.
General Discussions would be a good place for this.

Re: UT runs to fast on i7 chip
All I ever did was, when I got my new Windows 7 pro 64 bit with intel i7 system, was use the newer openGL DLL that I have always used, then set the "max" frame rate in the .ini to the same as my windows frame rate.
I didn't change anything else.

Re: UT runs to fast on i7 chip
Had the same issue. i7 3770 with Nvidia GTX 1070 ti. Tried all of the other suggestions. Here's my fix;
Edit Short cut add {game location}/UnrealTournament.exe -cpuspeed=9999
This slows the game but if you play any timed game, like assault, the timer still runs at hyper speed. so...
Now run game. Open games settings & you will see Game Speed 10%, adjust up & back down to the new minimum 50%.
Now try that? Both play speed & game speed are slowed down.
Hope this helps others.
