High Resolution Textures for UT99 & Tweaks

Overview

Tweaks and modifications for running UT’99 on modern hardware with high resolution textures. Works with Windows 10

⠀

Using the enhanced OpenGL renderer for Unreal Tournament

To use high resolution textures you first need to install an updated renderer for you game. This guide will use OpenGL although other renderers can be used such as Direct3D9

After installing the game update the OpenGL render to the latest stable version which can be found here: [link]

Direct download
utglr36.zip (110 KB) [www.cwdohnal.com]

To install the renderer copy the OpenGLDrv.dll file to your game files under
SteamsteamappscommonUnreal TournamentSystem

Start the game->Options->Preferences->Change Video Driver

Check ‘Show all devices’ and select ‘OpenGl Support’ then press Next until you can run the game

UT will now use the updated OpenGL renderer

Using High Resolution Textures

To use high resolution textures in-game they must first be downloaded from here:
S3TC Stock UT Textures (Extreme End) [www.uttexture.com]

Alternate link[drive.google.com]

Alternate link (Old Unreal)[www.oldunreal.com]

Alternative link (Unreal HD Textures)[sites.google.com]

Download each package and .utx using the download links on the site.

To install the textures extract the downloaded .zip files to
SteamsteamappscommonUnreal TournamentTextures
and overwrite the original texture files (make a backup of the Textures folder to save the original textures)

High Resolution

If your game looks like this…

…this means that S3TC is not enabled as the textures are not showing up

Navigate to the main menu and press ESC (Ensure you are not currently in a game) which should bring you to a screen looking like this
Press TAB to allow text input and type preferences then press ENTER. This will open up the ‘Advanced Options’ menu

Navigate to your renderer settings under Rendering

Then set UseS3TC to True

Setting Screen Resolution

Not all screen resolutions are shown in the game menu. To set your desired screen resolution open the ‘UnrealTournament.ini’ file found in
SteamsteamappscommonUnreal TournamentSystem

If the game window is incorrectly sized try pressing ALT+ENTER to toggle fullscreen

Setting Frame Rate Limit

To set a frame rate limit using the OpenGL renderer open the ‘UnrealTournament.ini’ file found in
SteamsteamappscommonUnreal TournamentSystem

Navigate to ‘[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]’ and add the line FrameRateLimit=60.0 for a 60fps limit
Bear in mind that setting the frame rate limit above 200.0 can cause noticeable speedup during gameplay.

Input Delay/Mouse Sensitivity

If you are experiencing input delay ensure VSync is disabled in the ‘UnrealTournament.ini’ file found in
SteamsteamappscommonUnreal TournamentSystem

In-game navigate to the main menu Options->Preferences->Input and
Enable DirectInput
Disable Mouse Smoothing

If you want to set the mouse sensitivity in the configuration file navigate to the ‘User.ini’ file found in
SteamsteamappscommonUnreal TournamentSystem
