Anyone have any idea how to run the original unreal tournament at a playable speed on a modern machine?

Even slowing the game down to 50% is still too fast. I just discovered how well this game runs on my lattitude d610 and I'd love to play it tonight :beer:

anyone know?

set it down to a lower percentage...

 

[acemcmac]

thats the lowest it goes. Speed settings count as cheats and don't seem to stick on multiplayer so I'm sortof screwed....

Might as well get UT2k4, pretty much the same game really. You can get it for less than $15 online.

Turn on Vsync? 60 fps then.

But yeah, UT2k4 is modern, similar, but better!

That would be my suggestion. I have noticed that in both Unreal and Unreal Tournament (not surprisingly both since they use the same engine), extremely high framerates (>200) seem to make the movement speed up quite a bit. Framerate cap should fix that, Vsync is the easiest way.

Actually, I had the same problem. The game ran too fast. I think the way I finally fixed it was by turning Vsync OFF, oddly enough. Give it a try.

If you use the OpenGL renderer here: http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/ , you can cap the framerate to anything you want in addition to using VSync. (Open System\UnrealTournament.ini, find the [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] section, and add/change the following line:
FrameRateLimit=60
You can change the 60 if your refresh rate is something higher. You can also add/change
SwapInterval=1
in the same section for VSync - it would be pretty hard to find a map that causes less than 60 FPS for most computers now.)
