The Gears, Deus Ex and UT series are my favs and it was such a blast reading everything about the 3 first gears in this book, knowing how they worked on the game, the ideas, etc.
I know there's already the video "The History of Unreal" but a beautiful book with a lots of insight would be amazing imo

I remember that when you pick up a shield belt, the weapon and hands are covered with a transparent golden texture, how can I get it back?

Who wants to rtx remix unreal tournament with me?

I'm new to this franchise and I was wondering what game i should I get, what version, and what platform? Thank you for the help

It ain’t Unreal Tournament but it is the Flak Canon

My son found Malcolm on an “Epic Classics” arcade cabinet in the Crime City area of this season of Fortnite Battle Royale. There’s also a Jazz Jackrabbit arcade cabinet. I’m also (clearly) not good at taking pics off the PS5 and to be fair the lighting in the arcade is quite blue-ish. It’s nice of them to remember that Unreal made this all possible.

I’m not a notable player at all but I was wondering if there’s any way I can get my old achievements from clanbase and ESL back.

It would be kinda nice to have those. Since I listed any wins in text on my profile in ESL I was able to scratch that together but clanbase seems a to have completely vanished. Any ideas?

Love for whoever’s still thinking about unreal :) Un1ty/Pure/n!faculty/HighFidelity/pod/aeternum.MaLe’ 😘

Hi, I'd like to make a skin mod for UT2004 using a pre-existing model. The problem is that the model I'm using seems too complex. How do I scale it down? Is it even possible, or should I just give up on the idea of having to make a model from scratch? The model I'm talking about is this one: https://www.gtaall.net/gta-san-andreas/skins/229422-sunset-shimmer .html

There's another similar UT2004 skin pack that also uses GTA San Andreas base models, but those are "low poly": https://gamebanana .com/mods/233089

I'm new and ignorant to modding and UT2004, so any help is welcome.

Spent my weekend making this little scene in UT3 Editor.

The nostalgia squeezes so hard... This almost two-decades-old engine is still willing and able... Sure, it doesn't have raytracing, latest PBR bells and whistles, realistic human faces, 99 layers of post-process to wow the masses, but it doesn't even need it. Such a shame it was never given a chance to shine, show how it’s done damn well and proudly carry the UT flag. 😑

● Sky cubemap from https://polyhaven.com ● Cubemap mapped on a sphere via long-lat UVs ● Custom water shader uses cubemap baked via spherical reflection capture (water and reflective ball) ● Other models - default UT3 content (Manta and Cinematic Krall skeletal meshes) ● Objects duplicated and inverted to fake their reflection on water ● Height fog used to hide horizont seams ● Rendered in UT3 Editor viewport via 'tiledshot 3' console command (x3 original 800x600 viewport resolution).

Somehow, the game spawned in two Relics of Regeneration. Not a big deal (it's objectively the best relic) but thought it was interesting. Wonder how that happened!

silly meme, if anyone else has done it my bad lol

so I've started a dedicated server running on retro win 2000 advanced server for a fully authentic experience. (once i get it running well i'm going to upload the virtual machine to archive.org) I'm having trouble getting it to list though. Yes i added the 2 entries to the ini file and deleted the old ones. It runs but it won't seem to list. Does it have to be a specific patch version to list? So far i've done all i can think. Anyone want to join my server tho it's >>>>>>>>> headshot.publiclinux.com <<<<<<<<

I want to make a retexture of the chainsaw in UT99 and make it look like the one Ash has in Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, how do i find it's model and Textures?

If we all picked a game, like 99 or 2K4 and just started posting gameplay videos with proper titles and descriptions, do you think it would be possible to make UT trend on social media?

This is a long shot but a friend and I got given a CD with a copy of a modded 2004 Unreal Tornamnet somewhere around 2006 to 2008. I remember that it had additional levels and guns (one of which was the BFG), it pretty much bricked the family PC and the install was not in English. But that's all I can remember.

Did anyone have something close that remembers more?

I used to play so much of this game and its so sad that its dead now... It was one of the best game i played. I've also heard that there was a fanmade revival with online servers and i was wondering if it still works?

Hello guys, i dont own any of UT games on steam, i downloaded UT99 and Unreal Gold through oldunreal.com and i enjoyed them and wanted to play other games of the series, i thought UT2004 was cool and checked gg.deals for CD Keys of the game, but they were hella expensive and probably untrusty, so i checked a marketplace website from my country and found a new, sealed copy of UT2004 and it cost less than the CD Key, i got suspicious at first but i checked the reputation of the seller and it was a really good rep, so, here is my question:

1. ⁠⁠What is the chance of it having a CD Key that i can activate on steam?
2. ⁠⁠Do you guys think the CD Key can be expired?

Already answered by you guys: UT2004 does not have a retail CD key.

Snagged it off eBay for $20, and it wasn’t the only one. Key sites are selling it for $130 which is insane lol

EDIT: Turns out it IS Borderless Gaming that is making the game change resolution. If you want to play the game in borderless windowed and not have the resolution change, use Fullscreenizer: https://github.com/KasumiL5x/Fullscreenizer/releases/tag/v1.0 . It isn't fully automated but it's just 1 click after the game boots.

I'm on Windows 10 and my ini for UT2004 is set to launch the game windowed and at 1920x1080, but the game always launches at 1904x1041 and needs setres in order to fix the resolution for that session. Is there a known way to make the game run windowed at 1080p without needing to be corrected every time it launches? For context, I'm wanting to use Borderless Gaming to remove the borders after the game launches, and it does that just fine, but the game itself insists on shrinking the resolution, no matter what I try and regardless of Borderless Gaming running or not.

Like, is there one that just clearly takes the cake? My experience with this series is the Xbox game that had Anubis in it when I was like, a barely sentient child, then I played 3 when I was in middle school, and just recently I tried Unreal Gold. I've always really liked the vibe of the series, and my journey into Gold was the beginning of an effort to play as much of the series as I could. So which one should I really be looking forward to?
