UT patch. 436 or Creative's 436?

[de8212]

I see where Creative has their own patch with EAX support or whatever. Just curious if anyone has tried both and if performance increase/decrease has been noted in either one.
BTW tHe regular UT patch is app. 7MB, the Creative one is 32MB.

I have tried them both, if I remember right, the Creative version will only update with the creative patch. I purchased the GOTY version (after I got my SB Platinum 5.1), for the 2nd CD with the high rez textures and Unreal editor, and installed that version:

The intro always stuttered with the creative UT version, especially after the patch. I could never get OPenGL to work right either. GOTY version, even with the high rez textures, no stuttering/crackling and I run in OpenGl only and its very nice.

Your mileage may vary, and I've updated drivers since then, but I prefer the GOTY version.

Hmmm, I actually have been meaning to ask this also. What is the difference in the GOTY edition and UT? I actually have the GOTY version but I have never messed with the other disc.

I'm unsure if the high res testures will work good on a tnt2 ultra but give them a try.
first make a back up copy of the games opengl/d3d dlls and ut.ini file.
then make the changes to the files in your systems folder.
note cpu loves cpu power, even a 1 Gig cpu isn't too much.
