What are /r/unrealtournament's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The new UT has a nice player base going so far. There usually is a decent number of matches going on the EU and NA servers/hubs. Its still pretty early alpha but its still pretty playable. Its Free so its worth a look. https://www.unrealtournament.com/

How about Mediafire or GitHub/GitLab?

I think creating a page on Moddb and uploading all the files there would be the best solution. Like how this page collects voicepacks, https://www.moddb.com/mods/ut-skins-voices-mods-fixes.

ToDos:

• Play On Epic Games Hubs and level up
• Play through the training missions and collect all tokens.
• Play the challenges and earn the Challenge Stars.

tl;dr your account is secure but changing your password is always a reasonable idea when any compromise happens.

My general understanding is that UT99 and UT2k4 players are fairly isolated from each other, so there won't be too many people who can give a fair comparison. I've played many hours of 2k4 but have only touched 99 a few times.

I guess it's best to compare the different gametypes that still have sizable playerbases in them.

UT99 (based on a cursory look at Gametracker) has DM, CTF, and Monster Hunt (all probably self-explanatory).

UT2k4 has Onslaught (that mode with the vehicles and the nodes), Freon (Freeze Tag TAM, start with all weapons, freeze the enemy team to win a round), and RPG Invasion.

Which gametypes you like might inform which game you'd want to choose. Speaking for UT2k4, there's a lot of custom content for the active gametypes, but lots of people of all skill levels take part in matches together and most servers are welcoming of new players.

> I know that new UT4 is out but AFAIK it has only two modes...

I wouldn't say that. UT4 has DM, CTF, Blitz, and Team Showdown, all of which had decent activity when I played a while back. Granted, a while back was back before the dev hiatus, so maybe things have changed since then.

> I loved domination in UT2004 ( played a little as a kid but nothing on pro, or even average MP skill level ).

My understanding was that Double Domination was not as well received as UT99's Domination was. Well, both seem to be dead in netplay now, so it will mainly be playing against bots if you want to play (D)DOM again.

Hope that helps.

Answered my own question... https://www.unrealtournament.com/download is the link to download the installer. I'm not entirely sure why, but when you search for info on installing, the download link is buried deep in the results whereas the URL in the OP is the first. Whateva. Time to install and go get ridiculously p0wnd

There are still a few reasonably active servers, moreso in Europe than in North America. You can check server stats with a stats website like GameTracker.

On the Europe side, there's CEONSS for Onslaught, LDG for AS/Racing/INV, and a couple of TAM/Freon servers. MiA and Fair-Gamers also run some stock map servers.

On the North American side, there's Omnip)o(tents for Onslaught, Death Warrant for INV, and Slice of Life alongside House of Carpe for Freon.

Outside of ONS, INV, TAM/Freon and iCTF, there aren't many active servers. But within those gametypes you won't have a problem finding a game.

If you want to get the game, I'd recommend getting the Unreal Deal Bundle when it's on sale, as you can get all Unreal games (sans UT2k3) that way for 4 euros, less than what UT2k4 alone costs right now.

An even better way (IMO) is using Open Broadcaster. It is very popular among streamers, but you can record instead of stream (or do both).
You can do software encoding or use Nvidia NVENC or Quick Sync to encode so it has a minimal performance hit just like Shadow Play.

There are also a lot more options and things you can do with different overlays and audio sources.

btw I tried submitting a video for the top plays but my account still hasn't been approved on the unreal tournament forum.

Here are the items you can still earn during Pre-Alpha season.

You earn progression unlocks at certain levels, and you level up by playing and earning XP. (You should play online, on populated servers to earn XP the fastest.) You can also earn challenge unlocks for getting certain numbers of stars in Offline Challenges. There's also a skin unlocked for completing training.

During the Halloween event there were other items you could unlock but those aren't attainable anymore.

I believe you're talking about GateWays?

I don't know if there's a download link (a brief search yields nothing of the sort), but it seems that there's a server:

https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/64.94.100.181:7777/

The developer of that mod was a guy called Wildcard if I remember correctly.

Sorry, I should have expanded:

You'll need to install Lutris, which handles running the script from your browser of choice.

Lutris installation:

https://lutris.net/downloads/

Depending on your Distro, you should be able to pull it through your Terminal.

Make sure you have the standard server filter box in the bottom left in your server browser is unchecked (no one plays standard servers much anymore) also you can check here and copy the top servers into your favorites https://www.gametracker.com/search/ut2k4/?sort=3&order=DESC

The game will still be playable when the Season ends!

As far as I know when the season ends season-exclusive unlocks will no longer be un-lockable via progression and your stats and progression gained during the season will be 'locked'. When the next season starts there will be new unlocks and you start anew with regards to progression whilst keeping all your unlocks from the previous season.

I don't believe it's been confirmed if this is limited to XP progression or if it includes offline challenges too.

The unlocks in question and their unlock requirements can be found here: https://www.unrealtournament.com/progression

Nope, Download the Epic Games launcher and you will be able to play it straight from there and will get the latest build without having to re download the whole thing again. go to here and click in the top right to 'Get Unreal' and there will be a tab that says 'Unreal Tournament' and you should be able to find your way from there.

https://www.unrealengine.com/what-is-unreal-engine-4

you got to register an account here dont worry u dont have to pay anything and then go to download page for windows etc and then once u load the program click on the unreal tourment logo and download the game there

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jahertor.musicfinderfree&hl=en_US&gl=US

bad reviews and has ads if you use it multiple times in a row. but i use it once in a while and it gets the job done.

Quake 3 was just an example for a quick shooter being playable with the available input , hell i even played UT classing with a dreamcast emulator on my shield but the dreamcast version just sux...

nvidias tegra K1 can already handle the unreal 4 engine http://www.gamespot.com/videos/nvidia-tegra-k1-demo-unreal-engine-4/2300-6416733/

and emulate gamecube games

www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLFWubflLLo

Neither power nor input are an issue

another example i just remembered.... i got half life 2 on my shield...

Invasion itself was an Epic-designed gametype that was added in one of the bonus packs. The RPG mutator though was a community thing, and generally speaking, any Invasion server you'll have found in the last 12 years will have been running a tonne of modded content.

UT2004 was the only official implementation of Invasion, but a quick googling shows a mod for UT3; no idea if it has any servers running. UT1 already had a bunch of Unreal assets in the game, as it was originally designed as an expansion pack for Unreal, so modders quickly made a slew of co-op mods for that back in the day. My favourite was Monster Hunt.

Nah, its native. Lutris has many helper scripts to install native versions of games, in addition to scripts which setup wine prefixes for you. A lot of the older Quake engine games, for example, have lots of unofficial linux native versions and so people have created helper scripts to, in theory, make the installation of these titles a cinch (although the reality of hunting down dependencies for lots of old titles is still very much a thing).

https://lutris.net/games/unreal-tournament-2004/

You can view the install script for the linux version above. Looks like it uses the steamdata, but I'm sure its not too difficult to modify it to point to GOG if you'd prefer.

It is not a public repo, but it is free to get access to. You need to link your Epic Games account to your Github account. A holdover from when UE was a paid subscription, but still a "I agree to your license terms" restriction. https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/ue4-on-github

Intended for developers.

-The game is a casual/fun game where you shoot zombies or have a battle royale mode. You need to calm down. It's not a hardcore first-person shooter. You don't need to act like it is.

-Actually I do. I literally told people on Discord yesterday that Steve Polge was still working on UT before this thing aired. You can even ask u/DREW-TANgg as I've sent them proof of this.

-Nobody argued that Fortnite was on multiple platforms "for quality of gameplay" - what the shit are you talking about? Is there someone out there saying "First person shooters play better on my iphone huurrr durrr" or do you just think that's an argument people are making? You are not only an asshole but you're not making any sense whatsoever. However, if you look at the Unreal Engine blog you can clearly see Epic is using cross-platform as a marketing tool for their engine which is just fine.

Cool your balls and pull your head out of your ass you angry little boy.

If you're talking about UT99, I highly recommend you come check out the most popular CTF server still running on the entire network.

https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/139.162.235.20:7777/

There's a great and large community of people playing Capture The Flag, ComboGib (which means only one shot kill using the shock rifle, and an energy ball as a combo device) plus a grapple hook mod. It's an incredible format and a ton of fun to play, come join us!

You can play with HTM on Friday nights, its not passworded then.

If you want to jump in and play TAM with all skill levels nightly via pugs (pick-up games), you can join this North American based discord channel -> [RU] Resurrection Unreal UT2004 Community

Full list of active UT2004 servers, all gametypes, check it at different times -> Game Tracker UT2004 Active Server List

UT GOTYE is more commonly called UT99, you'll find a lot of discussions on this sub if you search by that. Also, you can check live server/active player stats here:

https://www.gametracker.com/search/ut/?search_by=map&sort=3&order=DESC&searchipp=25#search

There's a trick of just downloading the UT99 demo and applying the latest patch, which then unlocks the full game content (full instructions here). I've not tried it, so can't confirm if it works.

In any event, the source doesn't matter, they all access the same servers. Also, you can track live servers/players here: https://www.gametracker.com/search/ut/?sort=3&order=DESC&searchipp=25#search

Search for "Trials" here
I can spot a few popular ones, but not a whole lot.
Make sure to ctrl+F "trial" to find all in the list.

Also there are still a few live servers find them here

Make sure to fiddle with the search terms (trial, trials) for maximum coverage.

It is htop, kind of a task manager. Im using LGSM (https://linuxgsm.com/) except on gothic 2, which is a simple downloaded executable. Last summer I started a "hobby" to host old, sometimes niche(avp2, vice city) games

You just get used to memorising the locations of buttons 1-0 by touch. And yeah, the reaction time you need compared to tactical combat games (CoD, Battlefield, Arma) is a lot higher, intensified when your range of engagement is tiny and average movement speed is superhumanly fast. We call these games 'twitch shooters' for a reason.

As a player and enjoyer of both area, tac-com, and large-scale team shooters, you get used to it. Learning how to predict movement is a big part of target acquisition, but so is having stupid good vision.

As many others have said, the lack of any effective weapons on spawn is probably archaic and could be updated with loadouts or a class-based system. It does lend itself to games being dominated by those with luck and map knowledge tbh. A fair chunk of skilled AFPS success does come down to item spawn camping. Not to mention spawn camping is generally much, much easier in most AFPS due to this imbalance incurred on re-spawn.

In short, AFPS are very different reaction-based form of FPS. They take getting used to, and may not be for everyone due to the steep skill curve. But in their defence, at least you don't spend 15 minutes traveling across a map to get sniped by a dude almost a kilometre away.

If you ever feel like combining the speed of an AFPS with some slightly more tactical gameplay and loadout selection, join the Urban Terror community at ~~https://www.reddit.com/r/urt/~~(forgot, it's dead) http://www.urbanterror.info/home/. It's like someone combined CS 1.4 with QT3 15 years ago and then turned into a stand alone game with a surprisingly active, mostly European, community.

I might be wrong but as stated here they said it would be available until the conclusion of the pre-alpha season in late October. However the launcher states we are still in pre-alpha ( right? )

Unreal tournament 4 pre alpha. You can download it for free here.

Just keep in mind it's very much a pre alpha game so there's still a couple weapons that are placeholders and untextured maps but it's still a lot of fun to play.

https://www.unrealtournament.com/download?dismiss=https://www.unrealtournament.com/blog just to let you know in a hour or 2 there be update happening new build/patch . the laucher so you might have to update later tonight

ut99, i was using bootcamp, and this was fine. but annoying swapping os just to play a few games, and then flipping back.

so i found a decently distributed version for osx, and this worked fine, and now follwimg updates, it broke.

​

so.., wineskin winery http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com/tiki-index.php?page=Downloads

​

you "create a wrapper" which is about 500mb, and then when its done, find the file it created, then right click and "show package contents" and then double click wineskin, click install software, and then navigate to your windows ut99 and wait.

Not at all - hope I can help!

Yes, with a couple of minutes research, it seems that the patch mentioned in your original link does add universal binaries, making it compatible on Intel. See here:

Your GOG link also mentions Intel under section 3.

It seems like 10.8.5 has just broken your version of the game. I only run it on Win7 so I can't tinker with my copy to see if I can get it to work on 10.10. That GOG link effectively only uses Parallels/Wine etc (anything to run a windows .exe installer) to install a windows version over the (PPC) OS X demo, and then patching it to Intel. It's a slightly different way of achieving the same goal from your original link - creating your own, native wrapper using the demo. Either way, it sounds like you're going to struggle with the latest patch (3369-2) on 10.8.5.

If the GOG method fails you, and you can't get a copy from Plastonick, then you're back to either trying to emulate a Windows version inside Wine, or emulating Windows itself inside Parallels or VMWare and running UT inside that. Neither are going to be pretty, but they will work.

(Sorry for length!)

Try editing the GameUserSettings.cfg file at C:\Users<profile name>\Documents\UnrealTournament\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor . It looks like this at the top of the file in case for some reason that file is empty for you:

[/Script/UnrealTournament.UTGameUserSettings] ResolutionSizeX=2560 ResolutionSizeY=1440

Replace the ResolutionSizeX and ResolutionSizeY with your res.

and add the following to the same section (counter-intuitively it doesn't appear if you're running in fullscreen mode...)

FullscreenMode=2

If you get a black screen running games it can mean they are detecting that your monitor supports higher refresh rates / resolutions than it really does. This can often happen using old monitors or TVs with incorrect EDID information. You can try creating a custom resolution using your graphics cards control panel or this tool (http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU) that actually matches the highest res/refresh your monitor supports or installing the correct monitor inf from the manufacturer (install it via device manager).

Occasionally people have problems with black screens because they do not have the codec to decode the intro videos functioning correctly (usually due to a bad previous codec install) so you could also try installing this reliable codec pack if you think this could be your issue - http://www.codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_standard.htm

EDIT: Just realised there are no intro videos so you can ignore this last paragraph, but I'll leave it in here for good measure ;)

Heya, thanks for that.

I assume the server side would be similar and just requires to update these?

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=

By the way, I found this guide: http://333networks.com/instructions

No idea why it's called that probably just a community thing. For your second question at this link here it says this: > When the game is playable, it will be free. Not free to play, just free. We’ll eventually create a marketplace where developers, modders, artists and gamers can give away, buy and sell mods and content. Earnings from the marketplace will be split between the mod/content developer, and Epic. That’s how we plan to pay for the game.

Sweet, looks like those model have a Diamondtron tube.

I can imagine how good it looks IRL.

Last CRT I gamed on was on an LG Fatron looking like this:

https://www.amazon.se/LG-Flatron-F900P-tum-rörmonitor/dp/B0000A9D4C

It might even be that model....

Intel i5 4690K 3.50 GHz. I don't think it is a power issue, because I had a power supply of 800W but a cheap one, so I decided to get something better so I bought a new power supply, this one https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Bronze-100-B1-0600-KR-Power-Supply/dp/B00EON40CS

It can happen while I watch a video on Youtube. I uninstalled something so I don't know if it will help. There was a flash player update for Windows 10 and to me it doesn't seem normal.

I don't believe that Microsoft should do that for me, I prefer to install them manually because I know what I put in my computer. When I install Windows 10 I noticed they put a Nvidia driver that people had lots of issues with it. So now I still don't know if it's my system or the OS... Keep trying I guess.
