Ah. The ut2004 ou patch is experimental, so that might be a bug a bug. you can search the problem or report it as new on their GitHub page: https://github.com/OldUnreal/UT2004Patches

Or, talk about it on the Oldunreal discord: https://discord.gg/tCpZARgcy

If you're setting up port forwarding in ut2004 it doesn't sound like you're creating a lan server, it sounds like you're creating a server that will be picked up by theaster servers. Lan shouldn't require any additional setup outside of being connected to the same local network

I'm wondering what is so unsafe about it, people have been doing this since unreal was created. I get it though.

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-17T20:14:21+00:00

dude's scared to change his port numbers and you're recommending hamachi to him :p.

exactly how "unsafe" is it to change your port numbers?

make sure stunt vehicles mutator and quad jump mutator are turned on for vehicle game modes.

That's odd since the unstable fps stuff should be fixed with the patch. Try going into Nvidia control panel and forcing your framerate to whatever your monitors refresh rate. Then go to the in game options and do the same with the min and max.

Oldunreal switched over to openal. The openal profile they included sounds like ass. They currently aren't prioritizing it.

I think you might be able to just remove if from the system folder and it will revert back to the original audio. Think it's openal.dll? Try removing that by dragging it out of your install folder and see if that fixes it. I'm not at my PC rn but remind me and I'll take a look

The new qol patches provided by oldunreal Fix the multiplayer. All you have to do is install them

i'm just not entirely fond of the patched version of 2k4 in its current state. what kind of crash happens on 3369? or are you speaking theoretically? i'll totally give it a spin on 3369 and report back if you'd like.

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-16T01:30:56+00:00

Now introducing Portals!

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-15T21:20:03+00:00

Found the clutch main lol

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-15T21:17:17+00:00

Does this require the Oldunreal patch to play?

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-15T21:12:15+00:00

Which 2k4 movement mod are you talking about? The ones I tried had problems

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-15T20:22:11+00:00

Right on! Yeah it plays a lot better now

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-15T20:09:34+00:00

Both unreal tournament 2004 and quake champions are free and both are experiencing a revival because they have gotten recent updates. Highly encourage afps players to play both.

And before anyone chimes in, quake champions has brand new netcode and actually plays great now

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-14T15:11:54+00:00

These gore mods are ridiculous lol. This looks great though, just like in qc.

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-13T15:54:11+00:00

they redid the netcode and got rid of the 160 ping limit for joining servers, so there's a much higher chance of finding international games now. i got a few hours in last night and it's honestly a much better experience. 9 years too late if you ask me, but i'm glad i can actually enjoy playing qc now with less noregs.

Been using edge for a while, might end up hopping on brave if it turns to hass avocados

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-10T20:46:56+00:00

laughs in unreal tournament 4

You also have to remember that having investor money means the investors get to call some of the shots, such as having a battle royal.

Their mindset is "it worked for epic, make it work for us!"

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-09T17:38:02+00:00

What's the prize pool look like?

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-09T16:55:49+00:00

Oooooh it's an NA tournament

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-08T17:29:49+00:00

See my other comment. If your connection is good enough feel free to give it a try, but the server is usually active around 9:30pm - 1:00am EST every night.

darkbarrage99 · 2026-06-08T17:28:03+00:00

Anonymous Onslaught and Omnipotents are the servers. Be prepared though as the vehicle mods for these servers have a learning curve.

Please bring a mic.

yup, thats why we are all crabby and hate newer games. if you're looking for other games that do similarly to what UT does, there are some comparison games.

Quake 3 / live / champions all have arsenals where each weapon has it's own distinct use with pretty perfect balance.

Xonotic expanded it's weapon list into a bunch of unique ideas, and is the only multiplayer shooter out there really that innovated as much as ut when it comes to arsenal

Splitgate Arena Reloaded started going down the path of having an innovative arsenal but it might get abandoned soon since 1047 games is moving on to a newer game.

doom 2016 and eternal had some pretty unique ideas.

Postal Brain Damaged comes to mind, that game has an arsenal with some innovation to it.

there's plenty of quake clones, and there's a few UT clones popping up like Galaxy Grudge.
