This tweaked .ini file was created with the help from Cham3l3on and Nova. It is not meant to give you the most FPS possible... the game will still look very good -- less the blur & bloom. I recommend you backup your existing .ini file in the event you do not like these settings.

** Texture settings are left at default. (3) Set this lower in your menu system and youll get a big FPS boost...
** World details are set to 1 and bloom, blur, and a few minor things have been set to off...
** FPS are uncapped.
** resolution is set to 1280x1024 fyi

Epic has changed the .ini structure so you'll need to make sure you put this .ini here (this is also where screenshots are put in case you were looking for them):

C:\Documents and Settings\{...}\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3 Demo\UTGame\Config
you may need to launch the game first before these files are created

Windows XP Download: http://www.cubedcompanies.com/UTEngine.ini
Vista Download: -n/a-

don't forget to backup... some people are having issues which could be a lot of things but better safe than sorry. if you download the file and the text looks garbled and looses formatting, it will probably cause you issues. pm me your email and i'll mail it to you... or try right click save-as

If all you want to do is uncap FPS, go into the UTEngine.ini file and change it to this:

[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=150
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=200

these numbers are defaulted to 22 and 62 respectively...

and I recommend bumping this up too:

[Engine.Client]
MinDesiredFrameRate=150.000000

AND ALL DISTORTION!!!!!![/font][/align][/marq]

i cant even get it to load!!

Is it just me or do players seem to flash around a lot.  Like one minute they're in front of you and then they dissapear.  

Flak Monkey is now Flak Master

Disco, make sure yo have enought space in your "C:/" drive, even if you're installing on a different drive. At least 3GB of free space.  The installer installs files all over the place.

Secondly, i had probs, with the Gamespace d/l, the file was corrupt, I had to get it from GameArena, it it worked fine.  BUT Gades got it from Gamespace and it works good......


Dunno, get on TeamSpeak tomorrow night, see if we can get you going dudeman..... and search the Epic forums, there's fixes been posted all the time.

Those really hot chicks gave me a resolution to fix mouse lag and that Godawefull floaty feeling of the crosshairs......  The tweaks posted above for mouse settings do not go near far enought, remember this game is for the Console players as well, so there is a lot of 'other' stuff going on......


Here are the settings that need to be changed;

in UTInput.ini:


_________

Having finished that you now need to adjust your MouseSensitivity according to your preference and what feels right in game with this console command;

[align=center]set Engine.PlayerInput MouseSensitivity <x> [/align]

where <x> = a number


In relation to the console command, if you look at the cheat codes for offline play 2k posted above, you will see another console command for changing mouse sensativity.   Please note there NOT the same, i will let the author of the above tweaks, explain it better;

Both commands work for changing sensitivity, the only difference is that the;

set Engine.PlayerInput MouseSensitivity

command can only be used offline & is used for setting the value in the ini manually.

The;

setsensitivity

command can be used online but only changes it in memory.

So when your testing these tweaks, finding the right sensativity for you, remember to be OFFLINE, so the command, changes your *.ini as well, otherwise you have to do it everytime you play.

On a side note, the author of the tweaks was asked, why there was console (Xbox, PS3, etc..) stuff written into the PC demo..... good question I thought, here's what he had to say about it;

As for why they would have all kinds of multipliers and base angles set in ut3 - i think this was to add a more dynamic mouse input system that would work both on PC and Console with little to no changes in the code. Thus resulting in garbage input settings on the PC because Console input is crap to begin with ;o

There are rumors going around saying that the main development team that worked on UT3 was a console team, I believe this to be true more and more with each day.

If that is true, then it all makes perfect sense to me.......

I'm going to try this later, see how it goes.......




Ps:  2k, you need to fix your PC's sound settings dude, someting is fucking your sound output in TS. Lat night we had to move you from the channel, cause the amount of feedbak and static coming thourhgt was huge.........  it was so loud, it atually hurt my ears.....

You need to find out wtf iz going on there... I suspect it's your 64-bit audio drivers conflicting with all the Creative EX crap in the game...... try turnng off all the fancy sound setings or sme crap like that.....

Man it was loud,  Gades, Druzilla and me were screaming at you to turn it off... ffs... lolol

Dont wory but ME or my TS .I wan't be ther as long dru is in thear. It is only ar fucken game ffs....and he is akting like he play for WCG or samthing .  just can't loose a game with out biching .ffs this is sad...

tryed it offline and it dont save.
i have to set it every time
