You can choose which renderer to use for UT. The default is D3D. An alternative is OpenGL. You will find the opinion as to which is better to be split down the middle.

IMO, OpenGL is better. It is smoother and brighter. If you want to try it, follow these steps.

A. The basic install of UT comes with an OpenGLDrv.dll, but it is not the lastest, so we won't use it. Go to your UnrealTournament/System folder, find the OpenGLDrv.dll file, and rename it something like OpenGLDrv.dll.ORIGINAL

B. Download this version of the dll: http://www.birdieman.com/downloads/utOpenGL36.rar, unzip it and put it into the UnrealTournament/System directory.

(you need to write down this next step because you have to go open UT now. After this step you will be able to read this again)

C. Start UT. From the menu choose Options/Preferences. The very first option is Video Driver, and there is a button that says "Change". Click this button. This will give you a message "This option will restart Unreal now, and enable you to change your video driver. Do you want to do this?". Click Yes.

D. This will open a UT window. Find the option that says "Show All Devices", and click it. This should add more items to the list to choose.

E. From the list, choose "OpenGL Support", and then click Next, then Next again, and finally Run.

You are done. If you don't like it, you can basically follow the above steps to change it back.

For FrameRate you must set like the monitor ...if you don't no you set it to 60
[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
MinDesiredFrameRate=75.0



but you must set a max
[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
FrameRateLimit=190


here one set

UseVSync=False
FrameRateLimit=190

I think the eyes is between 30 and 80.

Is the limit that I set by experience with the release of the first processors multibody. For the player not being too fast while keeping an optimal speed.

you can edit ans past mine over

Or if you want I'm files for that.
An archive with a save standard ini's and a save warconfig ini's.  http://unrealtournament.99.free.fr/utfiles/index.php?dir=UT_Demo/&file=WarConfig...

For that you can change the resolution before launching UT.
[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
FullscreenViewportX=800
FullscreenViewportY=600

or set it like the monitor


I am French should not hesitate to make me repeat if you have trouble understanding what I write

If that doesn't work PM me KELLER. I am the master of OpenGL. OK ok. Not the master but I'm real good at setting it up for people.

I would guess that after reverting to the 'smaller' list of OpenGL, you would still had to have gone into UnrealTournament.ini and set these 2:
FullscreenViewportX=800
FullscreenViewportY=600

back to something reasonable.

Another stab in the dark is - can you run in XP compatible mode?

Maybe Herm might be able to help.

I think you make the wrong changes.

Just install my UT it is made for beginners.Already in opengl and can also select the D3D9.

Tried first in seven normal, no old affinity.

Tehehe and you don't even have the S3TC textures installed yet. "As good as it is going to get"? Not!

i'll try GL like in the quake days lol. I got the latest renderers including the d3d10... For what it's worth it appears to give the best visuals if your video card supports d3d10. In the readme it state's non Intel integrated graphics but it works on my Intel HD... Noted -> a performance drop of about 40%.  D3d11 has bloom effect but an even bigger hit but stunning visuals... i'll give gl 37 a try

My settings as requested by Naab.
I use version 36.
My OS is WinXP, SP3
