@ Grim
the topic with the ut2004.ini is one I have to deal with more closely
because of UT2004 I will soon exchange my 10 year old Samsung 24" for a Dell UltraSharp U4025QW, 39.7" screen and I am curious how UT will be displayed in connection with 120 Hz, the aspect ratio and a customised ut2004.ini.

I have a few devices I move between, but my main screen is an 35" LG ultrawide running at 100Hz (also curved).
I use foxWSFix v2.2.0 which supports widescreen, more on that here:  https://miasma.rocks/index.php?topic=1964.0

You can quickly change resolution by typing setres 5120x2160 (or your preferred res')

Thanks for the link / information !
I will take a closer look at the topic when I have the new screen

Hello ronftl , welcome to the best ut 2004 server ever. This is Zacky (CR), veteran player of miasma and the MIA clan (now disappeared) I also returned to UT after my retirement around 2013 and after 11 years I really missed it brother, it was one of the first games in my life and I could never forget it Entering and playing more often makes you better every day, the more you are a good player, see you in the games, greetings...! 8) 8) ^-^

Hi Zacky :)

This game has a certain addictive factor, but this is also due to the variety of weapon types that can be used :)

I always find it very interesting how the ‘regular players’ and the occasional players in the group behave, when mixed up in a new session.
Who knows the strengths and weaknesses of the other players and who uses them to their advantage (of the team) :D
I, for example, already have learned pretty well from whom I have to hide and who is "sometimes" easy to catch in close combat with predictive shots ggg

greetings Ronftl ( real name Thomas )

I will post a few experiences, maybe someone can gain something positive from my HW / SW setup

Is that new monitor 4k? I play fullscreen on 4k Samsung with 1080p resolution 240Hz refresh it look nice!

I don't want to buy a pure gaming screen, because I also need the screen for my home office and that's why I'm going to get the https://www.dell.com/de-at/shop/geschwungener-dell-ultrasharp-40-thunderbolt-hub-monitor-u4025qw/apd/210-bmdv/monitore-und-monitorzubeh%C3%B6r

from that point of view, the 120Hz & 5K should not only bring an improvement in gaming and hopefully also relax my eyes :D

Haha, know Ron, a lot of these recordings are on maps when I need a break or don't like to play so it's a momentum and does necessarily show the best of you...

each of us still has to improve, despite of our advanced age :D

You might find this one interesting :)


was a bit diffuse in style, which might have been due to the re-entry in the game and the lack of knowledge of the maps :D
should have improved a bit since 10.2024 , but there is still enough potential for improvement :D
the knowledge of the strength of the other players and favoured positions certainly also plays a role here

Hi Ronftl,

Welcome to MiASMA.
Indeed nice to see previous "retired" players getting back into the originals.

Fast and good aim is also missing with me, should not prevent you to score heavy.

Me, I'm usually in the top middle scores and often a bit above but that is a combination of the team and me keeping to my game plan.
Hell's early YT recordings gave me a lot of info how I wanted to play.
https://www.youtube.com/@Hell_Fire_Back
Still after 2 years playing here there are many things I need to fine-tune  O:-) like in Edge as a driver or still need to get better on sitting on the manta.

One thing I still do is trying to be as diverse as possible to develop my (limited) skills.
Like Grim says there are indeed a lot of "tweaks" you can edit in your ini's.

Here are some nice examples of players showing their skills:

All in all I hope you will enjoy the battles we will have  >:D

Hi Right !

the target and the effectiveness of the weapon in the most of the situations are the main problem 4me :)
With the Flak Cannon in close combat 1x hit and the opponent is history 
With the Shock Rifle further/medium distance 3x-4x hits (depending on health points) and the opponent may be in the afterlife 
Sometimes I'm not sure if it's the resolution of the screen, my reaction, the DPI of the mouse, the ut2004.ini or my eyes :D

Hell's gameplay looks pretty smooth&relaxed, but that's no wonder with a good aim 😉
The situational use of the maps and the possibility to use the advantages with the right team member should lead to success.

The „manta rides“ as driver and passenger unfortunately end up quite quickly caused by good Shock Rifle or Avril shooters :D
Jumping up on the Manta and staying there after a collision with ‘obstacles’ is still a challenge.

I always found the battles very relaxing so far and will certainly continue to enjoy them in the future because it's a wonderful stress-reliever :D 
But 4 sure its better to go to the gym too, as the lumbar support in the seat alone won't help to strengthen the back muscles :D

When I lost sound on 32 bit UT, after having it working fine for ages, I fixed it by adding adding
Code: [Select]
drivers=alsa in to /etc/openal/alsoft.conf, which made it start working again. You'll need to sudo edit the file.  For me the drivers section was about line 54
