Unreal & XP

[Xylander]

Hallo!

I just installed Unreal and NaPali on XP. I used the newest patches.... Unreal226Final for Unreal and unrealRTNPpatch for NaPali. Should be 226 too, right?
Well, Return to NaPali runs nice but Unreal don't The graphic is stuttering the whole time. Never had those problem with win98.... Isn't the Direct3D Support in those 2 Patches the same?
And far more important: Is there a way to make Unreal running good with XP?

Greetings,

Hi,....I have Unreal on WinXP, using Direct3D. The graphics run fine, but does your sound crackle up alot. I read in the readme that this happens under WinNT and as far as I know WinXP is a version of NT. Does anyone know if there is no way to get the sound working in Unreal and XP or have I a unique case?

MySystem:
AthlonXP 1900+
512MB DDR Ram
Geforce4 MX440
Soundblaster Live 5.1

Thanks for any help

ps-what kinda graphics crap are you gettin' cause the graphics sucked on mine too till I fiddled with the resolution and switched about with the renderer.

for the grafix problem: no they don't use the same version, the version of u-gold / napali 226b is a lil bit reworked, but u can use the ugold one for unreal too, copy the d3drv.dll into ur unreal dir. - or forget d3d and use opengl ....

for the sound problem, it helps often to disable direct sound in advanced options.

Hallo!

To copy the .dll-File into Unreal's Folder worked for me. Thx 4 the hint
I'm now running Unreal with Direct3D on a GF2GTS with the 23.11-Drivers.

Tried OpenGL but couldn't get Unreal running with this (haven't tried with the NaPali-Drivers though).

I have no sound-problems at all. I have a SB128 and i use the drivers that are auto-installed with XP.

If someone is interested in it: I meanwhile figured out i can join Unreal-Online-Games with NaPali when i copy the DM-maps into the NaPali/Maps-Folder. But Single-Player-Maps don't work. NaPali crashes if you try to join a co-op game.

But no need anymore for that. Unreal is running fine now. Thx again 4 the info

Hi I have a p4 1,7 ghz with a geforc 3 ti200 and 256 mb ram. I play unreal with 1280*1024 in opengl and it works fine(with the patch of course)however the framerate isnt exactly perfect. I play with the suggested opengl settings. If I want better framerates what should I lower or remove?

I've got winXP and I had the crackly sound problem with Gold and UT. And as weird as it sounds, changing the latentcy from 40 to 60 fixes it. Hope this helps!

sebastian what do u mean with exactly perfect ?

you should realize that anything above 30 fps (lowest) is more then enough - if u have more fps use it for better eyecandy - what do u need the fps for ? it makes no differ, its isn't more beautiful, it isn't changing the game , fps are useless if u only use 'em to be displayed in the left upper corner. Thats one thing many people should realize, somehow the whole fps story reminds me some men comparing their p****s length...u know what i mean (i hope u know)

Yeah sure I know what you mean, but I believe my fps are lower than 30. Its often a bit choppy, not as smooth as I would wish. So what should I try changing first?
