What OS for Unreal Tourny (original edition)?

[Little*Freak]

Hi, thinking about getting my Brother some bits for his PC and a new OS for his birthday.

He only plays Unreal Tournament 1st edition Monster Hunt type stuff.

Does anyone know if Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 (64 bit or 32 bit) will run it with no compatibility problems?

He is running Windows Vista on an Aspire Intel Core 2 duo, a Geforce 9500GT and 2 GB of ram at the moment, it's ok sometimes except for unexplained crashes and complete freezes when playing UT, no BSOD's but it drives him nuts.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Assuming the crashing is not related to the OS - If it runs on Vista I would fully expect it to run on 8.1 or 7.

There are quite a few community mods for UT. This page for example has alternative renderers:

If you want to be sure just install Windows 8.1 without a serial and use it in Evaluation mode to test.

Yep he plays some sort of weird community mod, will give win 8.1 a go.

Cheers.
