Well UT has always been a fast past game....you will get used to it. In offline play you can also slow the actual game speed down. Lower your mouse sensetivity so you can control the mouse easier. Remember UT3 has a lot of bugs that they are fixing soo....The mouse movement in UT3 just plain sucks anyway (even with mouse accel disabled) I'm suire they will get that sorted out after a few patches. Play UT2004 demo and get used to that movement anbd that will make UT3 seem very slow as UT3 is much slower than UT2004 and about the same as ut99. Every setting will need to be modifyed via ini file and just search googe and you will find a lot of tweaks...here are some I found with a google search

Get the UT3 BattleMOD. It lets you change these things

Total gamespeed

Fire rate of weapons.

Weapon switching speed.

Walking speed.

Extra starting health.

Extra high jumping.

Weapons get max ammo.

I got it to make the hoverboard faster ;) but you could use it to do the opposite!

I find this kind of odd: although I despite some things they have done to the game, i.e. reduce the amount of gametypes to a handful, the (in-progress-of-being-repaired) UI, removing adrenaline, they did one thing right:

The vehicles in UT3 are fast and fun. Much better than their slower UT2004 predecessors (save for the Hellbender, the turns it makes are way too tight). The Necris vehicles, on the other hand... they're just weird.

Also a bit offtopic, but has anyone noticed that the gold UT3 disc does NOT have any form of game protection? If this was a decision made by Epic or Midway, thumbs up to them for FINALLY releasing a game without this insane protection BS. If it was because they rushed to get the game out and released the "RC7" disc to manufacturing, then....

Highly unlikely that something like copy protection gets slapped right before RTM.

Epic was always cool about it anyway. In previous versions they usually removed the protection with patches after a while.

None of the Unreal Tournament Games have annoying copy protection. I really wish more game companies would follow their lead.

Oh, and a slightly off topic question of my own:

Does anyone else get "Connection Failed" errors when trying to play online?

+1. I get the error. And am getting sick of it. They better fix it soon!

The gold discs of UT2003 and UT2004 had copy protection on them. But for both games the protection was removed on the first patch. :laugh:

Also there's a really annoying bug under Vista where it doesn't save my settings... OR my CD key. :crazy:

For the people getting the server browser/conection errors: Remember that the game is still very buggy and it isn't just you that cannot connect online, the server broswer is horrible and I can't find any servers with people most of the time. The main problem is the server browser doesn't find the active servers half the time. I suspect in a few months this should all be sorted out. :)

you aren't the only one having issues, i get mad staggerring issues when playing the game. But it does work for me online (sorta, i can't go into the console and connect to a server manually, i have to connect to a server first and then connect to it to be able to connect to a private server).

UT99 has copy-protection. They removed it from every game in the patches. I agree; there doesn't need to be copy-protection on games that are nearly multiplayer-only - unique serials should be enough. Quake Wars does this even better by not even requiring a disc or serial for LAN play.

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
    • "This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time" ... Lol.
    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
