Any help plz

It played ok with 16 bit graphics on an old pc at work

300mhz pentium with onboard graphics and about 32MB ram i think

KNiVES · 6 Sep 2007 at 21:52

I am not sure but I think it's something like 400mhz with a Geforce 2 and 64mb of ram. I could be horribly wrong, I am only going from memory here.

Cheers guys

'Realistic' min specs for WinXP SP2 I'd say would be be P2-300, 128meg RAM and a Voodoo2.

Obviously with older versions of windows you may get away with less RAM.

Ah, good ole UT. I remember back in the day my dad scratching for space on the old 1GB hard drive.

Unreal engine so I'd imagine it's fairly straightforward to specify whatever res you want in the .ini file.
In a strange way some older games are actually better for widescreen support than modern ones. For example, Quake (the original from 1996) lets you use any resolution you want.

System RAM

Me and my brother used to play this accross the network connection. He was using a AMD 550mhz with a voodoo 3, and I would use a 333mhz P2 (and something a fair bit slower at one point but I can't remember what that was) and a voodoo 2.

not in the menus but you can edit the resolution in the ut.ini file

[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
WindowedViewportX=1440
WindowedViewportY=900
WindowedColorBits=32
FullscreenViewportX=1440
FullscreenViewportY=900

it also runs off of a pendrive if you copy the installation folder over, quite useful for college we found last year...

I would have the UT server running, but I'm actually using my server as my main pc at the moment (due to various reasons!).

Maybe next week though....

The specs are incredibly low, I remember playing it on the office machines during 'training'

UT is a real gamers game online, you can achive major skill with practive.. unlike games like counter-strike you reach a plateu where more or less every decent player is who've played for a few years
