Just type "preferences" and change renderer to OpenGL.
That should solve your problem!

And if it gets overwhelming in here, bring down a console and type readall.

Haha. Everytime I think that it's only me left here I get surprised :)

Me too. Ever wonder why you don't just delete the group out of your reader?
I don't have a good answer, I just......can't.

I know what you mean. Although I have not posted Unreal stuff in here for
awhile.

Just ... press ... deleeeete .... NO! i can't either :)
Unreal is still the best "WOW" I've ever had with a computergame.
Everything that followed had to live up to that.

Maybe, just maybe, someone needs our help in here one of these days :)
That's why I stick around anyway ...

Occasionally I run a dedicated co-op server for a weekend for my buddies. It
takes less than 10 minutes for someone random to join. I've taken to posting
the admin login in the welcome message and I have yet to have someone screw
with things. On the contrary, I get people who still have the old admin
keybinds set and near the spawns are piles of weapons they leave for
joiners. You just gotta love that.

I suppose I'll hang on here till the lights go out. If this NG ever closes,
I'll mirror it on my personal forums and carry on. I guess the nostalgia is
just too strong.

Nostalgia is getting the best of me. I recently upgraded my old computer to
a gaming rig with 64 bit Vista. I have procrastinate in installing UT99 (I
like to refer to it as Classic...like Coke Classic..lol) as I have been
gaming a lot with CoD4 and Crysis/Crysis Wars. Even with the new games and
great looking graphics, there is just something about UT99 that has yet to
be emulated. My heart of hearts wanted UT3 to be launch a new and exciting
era, at least as far as UT goes, but it didn't appeal at all. I am
disgusted, quite frankly, with the gothic style architecture as pervasive as
it is. I liked how UT99 could have setttings just about everywhere, and
believable at that (from Phobos Moon to Crane, for instance). It seemed so
believable. I can only hope that the developers wake up and take notice at
what is making CoD and Crysis so popular. Then UT can take it to the next
level by allowing the settings to occur about anywhere. Well, that is
enough rambling. I will install UT be the weekend and will be looking for
populated servers. Look for TropicalDan.

Sorry for typos and my sloppy writing. It is late and I am beat. Anyway,
does anyone know if UT will install and run well on Vista64? Thanks!

FWIW, I just re-installed UT(2003) and UT2004 on my Vista Ultimate 64.

They go pretty good ;-). Have to turn off the HUD bounce (view bob?)
because the whole image just shudders when you run :-D

My ultimate plan:
At auction, I bought 2 HP Proliant DL560 2U rack servers (4 x 2.5G HT
XEONs + 4G RAM in each) installed with VMWare ESXi (free hypervisor). I
plan to run maybe 4 - 6 dedicated server VMs on each (UT plus some other
non-UT dedicated servers - any recommendations?).

Cheers,
Chris.

Chris, thanks for the info about your UT03 and UT04 and how they are running
with Vista64. I will see what happens with UT99, this weekend. Regarding
your non-UT server, I supposed a dedicated server with the Xeon processor
will run Crysis, so if that is the case, then I recommend the new Crysis
Wars. It is a better game than the original Crysis multiplayer game. I
think Call of Duty 4 may have reached it's peak, and I see plenty of servers
that sit empty at times. Of course there are servers that are popular and
always have people in them. Okay, maybe you can have a vote taken, but it
may be a good idea to start a new thread, as "Test" in the subject line here
probably is not doing your subject matter any favors.

Good luck,
Dan

I'll probably install that too this weekend ;-)

What I'm disappointed in though is DeusEx. For the life of me I can't
get this to run. Haven't tried the original but the sequel is definitely
giving me problems. Still searching the web for an informed forum.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

When it's the only active thread, does it really matter LOL!
