PRE-FIXED for people who just want to play the game

By Gambit

You might not have the patience or time to do it yourself so I offer a guide on how to *FIX the GAME*

Testing it worked perfectly so I want to help others easily enjoy the game if I can.

Getting UT99 to work correctly was a "project" with patches for different versions, outdated links, etc etc. Typical peecee gaming issues that I don't mind solving, but to a lot of people buying a game that doesn't immediately work / isn't simple to fix? They'll refund it or forget about it. UT99 deserves to be played by everyone.

Overview

"Detailed" For people who don't understand directories or what a folder is*

Comments

tl;dr

1. install and play the game once

2. delete your game folder "Unreal Tournament" from (example) "C:\Steam\steamapps\common"

3. download my game folder from the link at the bottom, and extract it to the directory you deleted your original "Unreal Tournament" folder from.
(example) "C:\Steam\steamapps\common"

4. play game, change settings to your preferences, sensitivity, graphics, name, etc.

*A small price to pay for the game to just work imo*

Unreal Tournament.rar (418mb)[mega.nz]

"Detailed" For people who don't understand directories or what a folder is*

1. Download game.

2. Run game once and exit.

3. Right-click game in your Steam Library and select "browse local files".

4. Delete everything in the (example) "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Unreal Tournament" folder.

5. Download "Unreal Tournament.rar" from below

Unreal Tournament.rar (418mb)[mega.nz]

6. Extract "Unreal Tournament.rar" anywhere and copy the contents of the new "Unreal Tournament" folder to the same folder you deleted everything from in step 4.
(example) "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Unreal Tournament"

7. LeT's RoCk!

8. *Edit any options to your personal taste since everything is bound and set to mine, (sensitivity, keybinds, etc.) which are mostly default already. A small price to pay for the game to just work imo*.

You can solve the rendering issues with the latest patch. https://www.oldunreal.com/downloads/unrealtournament/oldunreal-patches-for-unrealtournament-version-469/

Then you can choose a different rendering engine in the in-game options menu (In my opinion, DirectX 9 is more stable and a bit moddable if you want HD skins and textures modded into the game later but other than that, DirectX 10 or OpenGL is fine too, depending on your graphics card setup of course).

I haven't had that issue

Obi Want Kanabis 14 Jul, 2024 @ 12:08pm

Well I can confirm that it still gives an error on startup when using dx11 renderer on the deck

Obi Want Kanabis 14 Jul, 2024 @ 11:55am

thank you so much! game was crashing on the deck with the patch. Is the bonus pack 4 installed in your game too? I'll try to install dx11 renderer now seeing dx9 works with your game.

@bertpigeon This is for people who run the game and experience optimization issues such as frame drops and texture-clipping.

In 2291, in an attempt to control violence among deep space miners, the New Earth Government legalized no-holds-barred fighting. Liandri Mining Corporation, working with the NEG, established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions. The fight's popularity grew with their brutality. Soon, Liandri discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise. The professional league was formed; a cabal of the most violent and skilled warriors in known space, selected to fight in a Grand Tournament. Now it is 2341. 50 years have passed since founding of DeathMatch. Profits from the Tournament number in the hundreds of billions. You have been selected to fight in the professional league by the Liandri Rules Board. Your strength and brutality are legendary. The time has come to prove you are the best. To crush your enemies; to win the Tournament.
