Unreal GOTY edition - Resolution tweak for 1680x1050 play

Prophet · 3 Jan 2013 at 14:11

I'm joining some friends for at UT day tomorrow as we've not played networked for years.

My laptop has a native resolution of 1680x1050 but UT doesn't support this as standard. Does anyone know of a tweak to fix this.

The game is hosted via Steam, so any tweaks/patches would neet to be Steam friendly.

Cheers

Amazing game!

Whats the highest res it will go up to at the moment? 800X600?

1280x800 I think.

I'm just reading about an ini file hack you can do, which should work.

Looking forward to a full day/night play although my gf doesn't understand. I'll leave her at home with Where's my Water (which she's obsessed with lol)

Open <Drive>:\UnrealTournament\System\UnrealTournament.ini

Look for this section:

[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
WindowedViewportX=640
WindowedViewportY=480
FullscreenViewportX=1680
FullscreenViewportY=1050

Just start it with the open gl renderer and you will have all resolutions available.

And open gl is the best looking.

Open GL works great. ingame console command for changing the res is as follows:

Setres 1680x1050

No need for an ini hack.

Can confirm this works. I've had it running at 1080p over a year ago without any problem
