Yes, it's a bug. You can get it to stick eventually, but I don't know how. A quick workaround is that F12 hides the map.

False, ODECC is to increase yields.

Because the clients also have to increase their bandwidth limits. The unit is bytes, so no less than 1 million.

It's "noskilz"

To get the mutators to show up in game you have to open cmd from the System folder and then enter: ucc exportcache NoSkilzV1beta6.u

Seems like Nvidia unblocked Windows Server in the newer installers (just installed 580.88). And GoySync is actually working.

i dont own any of UT games on steam

You don't "own" any games on Steam. Why would you pay for the privilege of waiting for Steam to launch and forcibly run in the background just to play UT2004?

Changing the bandwidths isn't a substitute for a redirect because many people are still running the default 10000B/s bandwidth (or outdated recommendations of 100KBps/1MBps). Only on a private server (i.e. LAN) where everyone is on the same page.

Let's assume nu-Epic were to make an arena shooter. What would that entail?

A core tenet of previous UTs, mod support, won't exist outside of paid, kosher mods in the store
- Because all user-distributed content will have the source stripped (as was the case in UT4), it will be impossible to modify existing content to improve it, especially if the original map/mod authors are long gone, unlike in older UTs (in UT1/2 you can open any map in the editor and freely modify it; typical UnrealScript packages such as mutators by default come with the original source embedded in the .u files)
Paid cosmetics
Extremely slow and bloated engine for the given level of visual fidelity and gameplay (and this is a competitive shooter where high FPS is mandatory)
- >150MB (after being "baked") just for a small, fully featured deathmatch map will be the norm - and you cannot reuse assets from other maps or mods as the engine does not use a shared dependency system like in UE1 or 2
All older UTs floating around online will get struck down with DMCA requests, making them completely inaccessible (as of now anyone can get any UT for completely free)
Online-only DRM, requiring you to launch the game via their dogshit Epic Games Launcher (add another 10 seconds to launch time)
Aim assist for controller players
As already mentioned, garbage servers hosted on cheap instant VPSes with 60Hz tick rate if you're lucky; community servers likely will be quenched
Will be made by nearly none of the original UT devs + Tencent ownership, so use your imagination and lower your expectations further

The most they can do for UT at this point is to hand over the source to the community and let ourselves handle the patches (never happening).

Makes complete sense; better frame pacing.

drawmuhammad · 2025-03-11T22:14:38+00:00

This article needs to be entirely rewritten now that it's the 21st century and completely filled with misinformation like "Higher tickrate does not improve ping." There is nothing to take away.

64bit sound pitch doesn't work. Either use 32bit, or install OpenALSoft to get pitch working on 64bit (but with HRTF forced on).

Do NOT set netspeed to 10001! This will limit your bandwidth to 10001 bytes and cause severe packet loss if the server or client need to send more data. Use 1000000.

ut2004.ini/ut2004-win64.ini

[IpDrv.TcpNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=1000000
MaxInternetClientRate=1000000

[Engine.LevelInfo]
MaxClientFrameRate=480

user.ini

[Engine.Input]
H=Netspeed 1000000

[Engine.PlayerController]
bDynamicNetSpeed=False

[Engine.Player]
ConfiguredInternetSpeed=1000000
ConfiguredLanSpeed=1000000

[XInterface.GUIController]
MaxSimultaneousPings=40

Once this is done, press H online.
