Help with tweaks please.

X-Cellerator

I am new here and was drawn here from finding the London server. I was huge into the game years ago. Made maps skins and other stuff. However, I have forgotten all of the tweaks to make the game run smooth. Back in the day my RIGS wasn't much to talk about. Now I build beasts, currently running last year's high-end components. I will post specs below.
Currently running the game in d3d9, tried XOpenGL how ever found it very dark. Great for making shinny maps but playing on servers make it tuff. Seem to be getting a ton of shot lag.

I guess I was hoping that some old school fraggers would help me tweak the ini files. I had one from years back but with the new patch they didn't work very well. Any help would be appreciated.

My RIG as of today until my new MB arrives Friday. I am going I9 13900k on a Z790 Hero

I assume this rig would be more than enough to play smooth, but it isn't.... Plays newer games like a B>>>

I only have a 1660ti and I get 165fps at 1440p to sync with my monitor and the fans never need to turn on so with that 3080 you probably won't need performance tweaks.

Maybe it's just my route to the server. My shot lag is like 2 meters behind the player. I have run Sidways trying to shoot a player many times and my shot is way behind them. Plus, my dot defaults to this huge green blob and changing it does nothing. Is that a patch problem?

I have also tried different NetSpeed to try to smooth it out. I get it the server is in London and I am in Ohio however I see guys pinging 400 and racking up frags like it nothing. Have I just lost my shot lol or need to adjust to the lower game speed. Like I said before, I was and still am a 155/55 Intagib guy. Love the speed and dodge control.

Thanks for your reply

To change the scale of your crosshair on a server(that has ACE) type mutate ace crosshairscale 0.5, the 469 crosshair scale is more for offline..

Netspeed also affects your FPS limit online(netpseed / 64), 20000 is 312.5 fps, 10000 156.25 fps for example.

The shot lagging behind the player is normal when moving sideways, at least with the shockrifle/instagib you can see by how far and can compensate for the offset.

The shockrifle shot is not centered properly, it's to the left by a few pixels, and down a few, or at least at fov 90 1920x1080

Thank you for the advice. I will play with the Netspeed and decently set the cross hair I knew there was a command for that simply didn't know it.

I have a 32in 4k monitor so I play at 2560x1440 any higher things tend to get too small. Like I said hardware has changed a lot from the times I use to play. I had a wide screen monitor for a long time and couldn't plat UT at all on it. Tried several times to get it to run well so I gave up. Now I have a smaller monitor and things are moving along.

I love the game other than all the spawn killing. It gets frustrating trying to get use to the Grapple and my shot. But I will continue to try and hope I can get used to it.

Thanks again X-Cell

With the 469 patches you can change the font and GUI scaling, you have to tick the corresponding check boxes to use a custom scale.

Also if you use (X)OpenGL you should install the hotfix to reduce input latency https://github.com/OldUnreal/UnrealTournamentPatches/releases/download/v469c/OldUnreal-UTPatch469c-Windows-WinDrv-Hotfix.zip OpenGL has much better performance than XOpenGL, XOpenGl is more for making the game look nice then anything else.

X-Cellerator It gets frustrating trying to get use to the Grapple and my shot.

I take it you find it difficult to switch from weapon to grapple?
You can bind the gripper to any keyboard or mouse key.
In the console type:
Set Input [Key] HookOffHandFire
This does not interfere with grapple throwing and shooting.

Mutate offhand <key> also works. Still find it strange that Effibrie plays on the server all the time, but manually swaps to grapple, I've said to him a few times in the past about the keybind way but probably doesn't understand English, don't even think I've seen him talk in-game tbh.

PissedoffPistol has the server record for grapple kills(they are only counted as grapplehook kills if you select it as a weapon, otherwise it's counted as the weapon you are holding).

X-Cellerator

yeah, thanks guys I already found that key bind a few days ago on the site. I made mouse 5 button. It has really helped me get better at using it. Also, sometimes that grapple really lags me out. I have a strong RIG and my internet is a gig down and 40 up should be playable anywhere lol.
