Setup
Install the game through whatever way seems best to you.
If you installed the game from a CD or DVD, install the v3369 patch. If you installed the game through GOG or Steam, you can skip this.
Check the System subfolder for a file named ut2004-win64.exe
. If it is already present, go to the next step. Otherwise, install the win64 patch.
Launch the game using the executable ut2004-win64.exe
.
Settings
Always close the game before editing INI settings. By default the game creates a INI with the same name as the executable you use to start the game, if it does not already exist. All settings should be changed inside the INI file that has the same name as the executable that youre running.
INI File Structure
INI files consist zero or more sections. A section starts with a line consisting only of the name of the section in brackets, e.g. [SectionName]
. After that, zero or more key-value pairs may follow, which look like Key=Value
. Key
can be any string that does not contain whitespace characters or =
. Value
can be any string.
Resolution
Look for section [WinDrv.WindowsClient]
.
The keys FullscreenViewportX
and FullscreenViewportY
in that section control fullscreen resolution. E.g.:
; Resolution 1920x1080 (1080p)
FullscreenViewportX=1920
FullscreenViewportY=1080
The keys MenuViewportX
and MenuViewportY
(same section) should have the same aspect ratio as the fullscreen resolution in order for the menu to not suck.
MenuViewportX=1280
MenuViewportY=720
FPS
Look for section [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver]
.
Change the value for keys MaxInternetClientRate
and MaxClientRate
to 20000.
Look for section [Engine.LevelInfo]
.
Change the value for key MaxClientFrameRate
to whatever you want the FPS-limit of the game to be. Dont be surprised if the game doesnt show you your desired FPS limit as its average, the game only has a few limits it actually supports.
Look for section [D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice]
.
Change the value for key DesiredRefreshRate
to the refresh rate of your Monitor in Hz.
In order to activate unlimited FPS you have to type netspeed 20000
into the console every time you join a map.
Demo FPS
Look for section [Engine.DemoRecDriver]
.
Change the value for keys NetServerMaxTickRate
and LanServerMaxTickRate
to whatever framerate you want to record demos at.
Mouse Sample Rate [User.ini]
Look for section [Engine.PlayerInput]
.
Change value for key MouseSamplingTime
to 0.001.
Remove Reward Announcements [User.ini]
Look for section [UnrealGame.UnrealPlayer]
.
Delete the value for key CustomRewardAnnouncerPack
.
Может кому пригодится, а может кто чего подскажет, как подружить сабж.
И так, UT2004 проблемы:
1. UT2004 запускается только в окне(не запускается).
2. Звук ужасный.
3. Изображение дергается
4. Наблюдается проблема с текстурами (подгружаются с задержкой ~ 0.5-1 сек.)
5. Нет плавности мыши.
Может какие проблемы только на моем компу, не знаю.
Решения которые нашел:
1. запускается только с OpenGL:
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice
либо отключением ReduceMouseLag
[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]
ReduceMouseLag=False
2. Не нашел. (хотя если быть спектатором, то со звуком всё ок).
3. Не нашел, но может дело в моем 27″ 16:9 монитором и разрешении (UT принимает из 16:9 только 1280*720 или 1980*1020).
4. Не нашел. Самая ужасная проблема, ибо когда на тебя кто то выпригивает или стреляет видишь не сразу, так же и со стрельбой, стрелять нужно на упреждение. Пушки, повер-апы так же видно не сразу.
5. Решение — установка UT2004 x64 patch. Делали давно, но мышь становится плавной!
http://unrealoldfriends.activeboard.com/t37241852/ut2004-patch-3369-for-64-bit-windows-vista-7/
после установки будет новая ехе-ка ut2004-win64.exe и инька — ut2004-win64.ini.
Если кто играет, и наблюдает (и особенно!) не наблюдает такие проблемы отпишитесь.
Короче, обсуждение приветствуется.

Windows 10 and UT2004: 4 solutions (Read 29208 times)
On Windows 10 you might get an error like this when launching the game:
UT2004 Build UT2004_Build_[2005-11-23_16.22]
OS: Windows NT 6.2 (Build: 9200)
CPU: AuthenticAMD Unknown processor @ 3516 MHz with 2047MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 (4788)
LockRect failed: D3DERR_DEVICELOST
History: UD3DRenderDevice::ReadPixels <- UD3DRenderDevice::Present <- UGameEngine::Draw <- UWindowsViewport::Repaint <- UWindowsClient::Tick <- ClientTick <- UGameEngine::Tick <- Level Untitled <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Realloc <- 10910191 0 FArray <- FArray::Realloc <- 0*2 <- FMallocWindows::Free
Here are different ways to fix this problem:
1. Use 64-bit version of UT2004
Download and install UT2004 64bit patch. Play the game by running ut2004-win64.exe (instead of ut2004.exe).
2. Disable ReduceMouseLag
Edit your UT2004.ini file: under [D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice], change
ReduceMouseLag=True
to
ReduceMouseLag=False
3. Use OpenGL renderer
Edit your UT2004.ini file: under [Engine.Engine] section, uncomment RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice and comment out RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice line.
Result should look like this:
[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice
4. Use DX8 to DX9 convertor
Download ENB DX8 to DX9 convertor. Install by placing d3d8.dll and enbconvertor.ini from the archive in UT2004/System/ directory.
Which solution to choose? I would go with solution number 1 or 4, reduction of mouse lag sounds useful and I’ve had performance issues with OpenGL.
Sources: Rembo’s forum, LDG forum.
thanks for the info Mate
#1 worked for me, and it seems to have increased my performance a tad as well.
Previously known as: xS0NARx, Njordr, Latte, or whatever the «name of the week» was.
damn really helped…thanks!
~ BELIEVE ~
hello =)
1). Keeping the 32 bit exe and set reducemouselag to false:
You’ll need to change UT2004.ini :
[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]
ReduceMouseLag=False (Game will crash in fullscreen if this is set to True)
Also recommend using the settings UseVSync=False and using MaxClientFrameRate=XX
Source: http://steamcommunity.com/app/13230/dis … 585023562/
2). Using the 64 bit exe :
(Creates a separate ut2004-win64.ini file, and it’s already set to use the Direct3d 9 renderer so you don’t need to change it)
•Download Unreal Tournament 2004 Patch v3369 [64-Bit Windows]
•Under [Engine.Engine] in the ut2004-win64.ini, make sure you have RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice as your selected driver (although this should be the default setting)
3). Using the DirectX8 to DirectX9 wrapper:
Download link: http://enbdev.com/download_convertor_dx8todx9.htm
Unzip the file/s to the /system folder, keeping ReduceMouseLag=True
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/downloa … aspx?id=35 is also required
This function with DX10
My config Intel core 7 Gtx 980 8ram corsair

Giving administrator rights to ut2004.exe should fix that issue.

Don’t want the hassle?
Get this game pre-fixed, DRM free and ready to play from GoG.com. Fully working or your money back.
After graduating from university, I was lucky enough to land a job with a local games company. I have fond memories of those days, mostly because we got a whole hour for lunch. Few of us actually ate lunch during that hour, because games were permitted on the LAN. While all sorts of games were tried, my favourite was always Unreal Tournament 2004. Featuring a great range of weapons, vehicles and game modes, UT is, for many of us, the pinnacle of competitive first person shooter games. While Unreal Tournament 3 is the latest in the franchise, The more colourful 2004 edition remains a fan-favourite despite its age.
Installation
UT2004 should install on a modern PC without any issues. To install from the retail DVD version, simply put your game DVD into your computers optical drive and follow all on-screen prompts. If the games autorun prompt does not appear, browse to the DVD in Computer/This PC and run the Setup.exe file manually.
Patching
There were several patches released for the game, with the last one being patch 3369. Before you play you should make sure that this patch is installed. If you bought the game from GoG or Steam, the patch should be installed already. For the retail CD version, you should install the UT2004 Mega Bonus Pack, which includes the patch and a nice selection of bonus content (including content released in the Editors Choice Edition upgrade). Once you’ve downloaded this pack, simply double click on it and follow the on-screen prompts and it will install automatically.
Windows 10 users – Fix startup crashes
If you’re playing UT2004 on a Windows 10 machine you may find that your game crashes back to the desktop when you start it. There will be a cryptic error about “LockRect failed: D3DERR_DEVICELOST”. To fix this problem, we need to edit some configuration files. If you’re not familiar with this process, see this tutorial.
First of all, browse to the System sub-folder within your UT2004 game folder (by default, that’s under C:\UT2004, or C:\GoG Games\UT2004 for the GoG version). Locate a file called “UT2004.ini” and open it in Notepad or your favourite text editor. If you can’t find this file, make sure you have tried to launch the game at least once. Once you have the ini file open, find the line that reads “ReduceMouseLag=True” and replace it with “ReduceMouseLag=False” (do not copy the quotation marks). Save the file and then exit your text editor. You should now be able to launch UT2004 on your new Windows 10 PC no problem.
Tweaking visual quality
Before you load up your rocket launcher, you should take some time to tweak the games visual quality settings. Launch UT2004 and from the main menu, choose “Settings”. Then, from the options at the top of the screen, choose “Display”. You should then see the options shown below.
The most important options are:-
Resolution – Set this to whatever resolution your monitor supports. Note that you can only select 4:3 (none widescreen) resolutions here. We will show you how to set widescreen modes later.
Full Screen – Typically you will want this ON for the most immersive experience.
Brightness, Gamma and Contrast – Set these to taste. Not too bright else you will lose detail in the brightest part of the image.
All other settings – Generally you can set these on High, Highest or Full for most modern PCs, certainly for any gaming PC. The game will say a naughty word if you do this, as if in shock, but most modern PCs can cope. If you find the game is running slow, go back to the defaults and turn the settings up more gradually until you find a balance between quality and performance.
Setting widescreen resolutions – In order to play the game in widescreen mode, we’ll need to do some manual editing of a couple of ini files. If you’re not familiar with editing text/configuration files, see this tutorial. Be careful to only edit these files as instructed.
First of all, open up a File Explorer/Windows Explorer window and browse to your UT2004 game folder. By default, that’s under C:\UT2004, or C:\GoG Games\UT2004 for the GoG version. Open the “System” sub-folder and find the file called “UT2004.ini”. Open this in Notepad or your favourite editor.
Now, find the line FullscreenViewportX= and change the value after the X to match your monitors horizontal resolution. For 1080p monitors/TVs, use “FullscreenViewportX=1920”. For 720p displays it’s “FullscreenViewportX=1280” (do not copy the quotation marks). Next, find the line “FullscreenViewportY”, which should be directly below and change this to match your monitors vertical resolution. For 1080p monitors/TVs, use “FullscreenViewportY=1080”. For 720p displays it’s “FullscreenViewportY=720” (do not copy the quotation marks). Save the file once you have done editing it.
Now, find the file user.ini and again, open this in Notepad or your favourite editor. Find the lines “DesiredFOV=90.000000” and “DefaultFOV=90.000000”. Change the value of both of these lines to “105.000000” (do not copy the quotation marks). The WSGF site recommends 105.000000 for 16:9 resolutions (such as 1080p and 720p) or 100 for 16:10 resolutions (such as 1920 x 1200). Save the file when you are done working with it and you’re now finished configuring the game for widescreen. During play you will find that HUD elements and menus are stretched, but the games 3D visuals etc will work perfectly fine. Remember that if you change screen resolution in-game, you will have to go back and re-edit the UT2004.ini file again.
Tweaking sound quality
To change sound options, choose “Settings” from the games main menu and then choose “Audio” from the options at the top. There aren’t so many options to configure here, but pay attention to the “Audio Mode” setting. Like many older games, UT2004 supported hardware accelerated audio and special effects for users who had suitable Creative Audio sound cards. The “H/W 3D Audio” and “H/W 3D Audio + EAX” options won’t normally work on Windows Vista and later, but if you have Creative ALchemy or similar software, you can use this software to restore full hardware audio capabilities to the game. When using ALchemy, you should install it to the System sub folder within your UT2004 game folder.
UT2004’s audio engine is based on OpenAL which should work well on modern PCs, even without ALchemy or Directsound availability.
Multiplayer
UT2004 is all about the multiplayer. Fortunately, even despite its age, the multiplayer functions still work perfectly. Not only that, but most times of day there are a number of players online to play against too. To play multiplayer, simply choose “Join Game” from the main menu. If you get an error message about the Windows Firewall blocking the game when you try to connect to multiplayer, see the troubleshooting notes.
At this point you should see several options including “LAN” (play on your home network) and “Internet”. Click on “Internet” and then choose a game type from the drop-down box. Look for a server with some players online and click on it to connect.
You can also play this game on your home network (LAN). Pick up a couple of copies cheaply from GoG.com and grab a few older PCs and throw yourself a little LAN party, it’s awesome fun! One computer needs to be the host, this should be the most powerful PC, while the other computers connect as guests. On the main menu click on “Host Game” to host your game, then the other computers simply need to click on “Join Game” and select “LAN”. You can host your own games over the internet too, though you may need some networking know-how to open/forward ports on your router. Alternatively you can just arrange to meet on one of the many public UT2004 servers.
Other notes
The fantastic gaming utility/in game overlay Evolve supports Unreal Tournament 2004. This tool lets you contact your friends, set up parties and organise matches, as well as take screenshots, videos and access the web all without having to keep switching back to the desktop.
The GoG.com version of the game is set to run as administrator each time it is launched, but this is not necessary (or recommended).
UT2004 has a huge amount of user created content available for it. Typically if you connect to a server that has content that your local PC lacks it will download automatically.
Troubleshooting
Crosshairs/aiming is jittery – If aiming in the game feels jittery, especially when trying to line up a precise shot, it’s probably due to mouse smoothing. You can turn this off by editing the user.ini configuration file. First of all, browse to the System sub-folder within your UT2004 game folder (by default, that’s under C:\UT2004, or C:\GoG Games\UT2004 for the GoG version). Locate a file called “user.ini” and open it in Notepad or your favourite text editor.
look for the section beginning [Engine.PlayerInput]
. Firstly, find the line that says MouseSmoothingMode
and change it to MouseSmoothingMode=0
. Then, find the line that begins MouseSmoothingStrength
and change it to MouseSmoothingStrength=0.000000
. Save the file when you’re done editing it, that should make aiming in the game a lot more precise, especially with modern high DPI gaming mice.
