Running Windows 7 here with OldUnreal 227i.

Cannot get the Dx10 renderer to work. Which is strange. I haven't played the game in a few years, but I could've sworn it worked. Maybe it doesn't work with OU?

I tried with 227h as well. My memory is bad lol.

It doesn't sadly. I couldn't get it to work either. It's stated on Kentie's page.

Unreal (Gold). Tested with Unreal 226final and Steam version of Unreal Gold (226). The renderer does not work with the version 227 fanpatch for various reasons.
Your only option with the fanpatch is the OGL renderer it ships.

Never saw this reply. But thanks yeah. It's not a huge deal. I was just curious. The OGL renderer does just fine.

Yeah it's fine and the fanpatch adds Raw Input option which is pretty crucial since the game has mouse accel like Deus Ex

Yea I tried it also and it did work, but was buggy. The newer D3D11 render however ran awesome. Grab it here:

Note: I linked version 1.6.1 - Newer versions such as 1.6.2 do not support Unreal 1. --Axer128 (talk) 20:06, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

I found this video where some restored 3D sound using OpenAL Soft and patch 227i. Can anyone help me test this and write instructions on this wiki? Thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmZX-PyxnrQ

There's not much to it. Just running that patch includes a good working openAL driver. You simply click on options - advanced option, a little oldschool screen pops up, select drivers, select openAL, and tweak settings as desired. Main gotcha with that menu is it runs in native windows controls and pops you out of fullscreen, some drivers/renderers crash the game doing that, so I recommend using the new D3D11 renderer in windowed mode, without any borderless fullscreen applied. Also disable specialK temporary if using, i found it broke that menu, didn't crash but just the mouse wouldn't work on it with special K.

Alternative the default galaxy driver also works by copying the dsound.dll from alchemy on creative cards. Or if you want to get fancy you can copy this into your alchemy.ini I set up: [Unreal 1 Gold] RegPath=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unreal Technology\Installed Apps\Unreal Gold\folder GamePath= SubDir=System RootDirInstallOption=True Buffers=4 Duration=20 MaxVoiceCount=128 DisableDirectMusic=False

For the steam version you'll probably have to also point that reg key to your directory, wasn't there by default for me. But the disk version maybe creates it.

There is also a newer updated openAL driver on the oldunreal forums. I tested it and actually seemed worse than the one included with 227i on my 5.1 surround setup. Perhaps it's just intended for headphone users.

I tried using the beta mod for hud scaling that I saw posted on GOG but I couldn't download it and I tried using the Peixoto patch to up the text at high resolution but no luck so far. Any suggestions?

Has been re-uploaded to Moddb here:

www. moddb .com/addons/unreal-hud-scale-mutator

(remove spaces, sites anti bot protection is really messing up, tried to post this like 7 times and didn't give me any error message, just didn't appear)

That unrealtexture.com site doesn't seem to have the S3TC packs anymore (or it is so badly designed that I can't find anything). On the other hand, oldunreal.com does have the low-end and high-end packs, but not the extreme pack.

It does have the S3TC packs; it is just poorly designed. All the navigation is on the left sidebar, and the .utx files need to be downloaded individually.

Could someone mirror these packs just for convenience's sake?

I would if my internet was better; the files are huge. It seems like, from the linked page, you click S3TC Extreme End on the left sidebar, then you click Stock Unreal on the sidebar, and then you download each individually from one of the up-to-date servers. Putting this here in case someone with better internet is willing to mirror. I'm working on downloading them right now, but I don't expect to be able to upload them.

I'm on it.

Thanks

Status update: I was only able to get the Extreme End pack textures from that site. The low and high-end textures seemed to be missing on my end. Regardless, I'm including both the stock textures as well as the Extreme End textures in my upload.

I might also include the HD model pack just for convenience if that's alright with you folks.

Expect an upload within the next few days.

Apologies for taking a while with the upload, been a bit busy. I'm still working on it.

Since I didn't see any uploads from Solarstrike, I went ahead and uploaded it to archive.org. It took half a day with my low upload speed (less than a megabyte per second), but it is available now. I've updated the page to include the mirror. archive.org/details/UnrealS3TCExtremeEnd

whoops! forgot to do it.

Unreal S3TC HD textures are now located here:

Just because

Tried adding links to the Old Unreal site on the Unreal page but it triggers the spam filter.

What are the links are you adding?.

I obviously can't post them here because of the spam filter, but a search for "Oldunreal" should pop up the website in question.

Just checked. I don't see anything wrong with site. Will rectify the problem ASAP.

Thanks!

Now the link works.

Thanks again.
