The Lounge / Flenser's Spring Trip — Nice and Amsterdam!
« Last post by Flenser on January 23, 2025, 23:07 »
Mrs. Flenser and I (and possibly Flenser Jr.) will be in Nice the first week of April, and in Amsterdam the second week of April.

We'd love to meet up and have a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine, or just hang out and chat.

Hit me up on Discord or reply here and we can exchange WhatsApp info to coordinate.

Most of the UT2004 players are old. Plassy being the oldest here I think.

Nah. Bufty is the oldest I know of on the servers and he's playing Freon. He's lethal with rockets.

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) ^-^

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...

Here are some nice examples of players showing their skills:

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.

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

@ pishach
yes I forgot about quake III Arena :D
also many long lasting gaming sessions with countless "dead virtual players" :D
the age is relatively, really important is not to be at the last place at the end of a game :D

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

@ Hellfire
I agree with you that this game has an increased appeal not only because i played it in my "youth" despite my own advanced age :D
In any case, the challenge is still there and is gladly accepted

@ Piglet
I have to read through all the tweak guides again :)
so far I'm happy that my FPS averages 140 - 150 FPS on a 75Hz TFT, almost everthing runs smooth and the ping averages 20-50ms
With the new screen/hardware, the refresh rate and the new display ratio, it will be maybe "more" exciting again :)
