Unreal Tournament (original) on Core2 running too fast

MagicBoy · 22 Dec 2007 at 17:31

I've just stuck the original UT on my recently built machine (Core2 2.66, x1950, XP Pro) for a LAN session I'm going to tomorrow and it's running waaaaay too fast.

I've tried compatibility mode (to bind it to a single CPU) and it's still running at about double speed.

Any ideas?

Type in 'unreal tournament running too fast' to google.

I did and loads of answers came up,didn't read through them though. I'm sure you'll find a fix.

Go into task manager and right click ut.exe and set affinty CPU 0 or CPU 1 (only have 1 running)

Yup, google it for the specifics, but basically...
something like -cpuspeed 2660 on the icon shortcut and,
When it's running, alt tab back to windows and do what peterattheboro says.

Still felt a bit wierd after that though.

That usually slows things down on dual core

I've tried google and couldn't find anything useful - hence popping in here to the fount of all knowledge.

Compatabilty mode locks the game to one core, and doesn't seem to help.

I'll try the shortcut switch thing.

i had same prob when i gave Unreal a blast the other day, just put vsync on and it solve it

Sorted it, thanks for the tips.

Win 95 Compatability mode, changing the power profile to Always On (to disable speedstep) plusa switch to D3D with vsync seems to have sorted it.
