Graphical Tweaks

The vast majority of graphical tweaks are accomplished by editing the game's .ini configuration files.

D3D9/D3D10/OpenGL/High Res/Widescreen Fix

Installing the Direct3D 10 renderer allows you to play the game in high-resolution, widescreen, and Direct3D 10. There's also a Direct3D 11 renderer (currently no significant changes from D3D10 renderer), D3D9 and OpenGL renderers. Be warned that when playing online you may be kicked from servers using anti-cheat plugins.

High Resolution Textures

Replace the original textures with S3TC Textures and get amazing detail. Do not use these server-side.

Mods

Various modifications, custom content such as characters, maps, mutators, and total-conversion mods can be downloaded and installed for Unreal Tournament.

  • A nice collection of mods at Mod DB

Maps

Maps are custom levels that are created using mod tools or editors.

  • You can find over 400 unreal tournament maps at Map Factory (dead link)
