OMG!!!

I did it!

I upgraded to Win10.
And it happened as it has to be... UT2004 crashed on every start with a critical error.

To activate the OpenGL driver and to deactivate the ReduceMouseLag option in the UT2004.ini didn't work in my UT2004 installation i had used for years.

This is how it worked for me:
1. A clean new installation of UT2004 (of course one first has to uninstall the old one).
2. Open the UT2004.ini and change the settings as following:

3. activate the OpenGL driver: (the semicolon deactivates what follows right on it in the same line)
[Engine.Engine]
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice

Don't change the Render Engine setting ingame. Your UT will crash afterwards again.

4. turn off the ReduceMouseLag option:
[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]
ReduceMouseLag=False
[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
ReduceMouseLag=False
... etc.
(etc. means you have to search for the option and turn it off in every single case)


Now UT runs at least. But I made several other changes in the UT2004.ini.
For example setting up the resolution (it doesn't work ingame with my WQHD resolution)

5. change resolution:
[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
FullscreenViewportX=2560
FullscreenViewportY=1440

All the other changes i made were just a matter of my own habits. I will post them in another thread.

I recognised one thing I have to mention, for others who are willing to change to Win10.

Unfortunately, my fps have decreased. I used to have 144 fps due to G-Sync and a 144 Hz Monitor. But within Win10 I only reach 86 or 87 fps. I haven't figured out how to solve this problem, but will write it here, when I have a solution.

Hi,

Windows 10 x64 Build 1511 clean Install

RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice works perfectly. 144fps and 144hz is no Problem. 2560x1440
ReduceMouseLag=false is always off no matter which OS.

i have also installed DirectX Juni 2010 Update http://www.computerbase.de/downloads/systemtools/directx/

good luck
