| 609685 | 2007-11-09 01:41:00 | You have 256 Mb RAM - on XP - hmmmmmm:groan: Low as it is - the Game requires 32 Min - what about the amount of ram being used by other programs. Windows XP itself Antivirus Software Antispyware The list goes on------ Press Ctrl+Alt+ Delete then select the "Process Tab" there you will see all the apps that are using memory and how much. Heres an example (www.imagef1.net.nz) of My PC, all thats open is a web page with PressF1 to read and answer this post, notice the CPU usage is amost 0, it all adds up. As I asked before What has been changed and installed since before it slowed down ? |

OK, are you having problems with all games or just this one? That would narrow it down to a PC problem or just this game. Maybe you just need a patch for it. Unreal Tournament Tweak Guide Last Updated on November 16, 2000 by Thomas McGuire Troubleshooting Overclocking, Unreal Tournament is sensitive to overclocking, if your system is overclocked & you have problems running Unreal Tournament, e.g. lockups during the game, try restoring the machine or video card to its default speed, or applying more cooling. Install DirectX 7.0A (or later) on your system; you need it to use Direct3D & other features. Patch it; get the latest patch for Unreal Tournament, currently that is 436, available for Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000 here, Linux here & Mac here. This will ensure you have the most current version of the game & all the included fixes/optimizations as a result. Drivers, it is essential to get the latest drivers for you video card & sound card. Check our Drivers page for links to many different hardware manufacturers drivers pages. This may solve (some) display or audio problems you might have encountered. This is particularly important for nVidia card owners, who should have the latest Official (Or otherwise) drivers installed. If you get menu distortion while using an nVidia card try (re)setting the Texel alignment to 3 in the Windows Display Settings menu. Any versions before 436, do not contain the fixes contained in the 436 patch. IMPORTANT – To gain access to the Advanced Options menu, load Unreal Tournament, press the tab/tilde key, then type preferences & hit Enter. Please note this, as you will be using the Advanced Options menu a lot. General There are some general settings, which you need to change before you go messing around with anything else. Open the Advanced options menu, select Advanced, then Game engine settings. Set CacheSizeMegs to somewhere around 4 to 8MB. I've mine set to 8MB (Some machines might find a setting of ½ or ¾ system RAM to work better). You can also change the cache directory to another partition/drive/folder. Open Advanced, File system & edit the CachePath setting to the directory of your choice. To get Unreal Tournament to load faster you should open your UnrealTournament.ini. Search for the line LocalMap=CityIntro.unr change it to LocalMap=UT-Logo-Map.unr & save the changes. The game should now load faster than it currently does. Press the Esc key to bring up the Unreal Tournament GUI. Some users may find that the game freezes momentarily when a new weapon/item is selected. This is not video card specific. Try increasing your cache size as described below. Re-installing the game may also fix it, or try lowering the Texture detail to Medium. |
