Input Options for UT2004 on Windows

The majority of these are best configured in the game GUI.

Notes about input settings:

• If the game command line contains safe, UseRawHIDInput and UseDirectInput are turned off

• In UnrealEd, and UseDirectInput is set, it will switch to RawHIDInput for the session - but only if EnableEditorRawHIDInput is set. Otherwise it will drop to legacy input modes as noted below.

Input system priority:

If you edit the UT2004.ini file, [WinDrv.WindowsClient]:

1. UseRawHIDInput wins if set. You get Windows Raw Input- unfiltered device input directly from hardware.
   • MouseAcceleration - enables (True)/disables (False) mouse acceleration using Windows EPP - see EPPCustomCurvePoints
2. UseDirectInput is next priority. You get Windows DirectInput from DirectX 8
   • MouseAcceleration - enables (True)/disables (False) mouse acceleration using Windows EPP - see EPPCustomCurvePoints
3. If UseLegacyCursorInput is set then drops to a Legacy Win32 Input Handler
4. Otherwise, the game uses a Windows Win32 Input Handler

Please note that the two EnhancedPointerPrecision flags are set/unset together from the GUI.

Other settings:

• StartupBorderless - When WindowedViewportX and WindowedViewportY are set to your current desktop resolution, and StartupFullscreen=False then the game window will be borderless taking up the entire screen size - however it is a window, not a full-screen session. Other windows can pop up in front of it. This probably only has any effect on Windows 7.

Other settings that are not currently functional as at v3374p13.5:

• InhibitWindowsHotkeys - does not appear to do anything on Windows 10. Intended to stop alt-escape. alt-tab, ctrl-escape and ctrl-tab from operating when full screen. This probably only has any effect on Windows 7.

• WinPosX and WinPosY - where to open a windowed screen - however this does not appear to work, as at this point in time windows are opened at the top left of the screen and cannot move. (Bug)

Console command "SAVESCREENPOS" sets WinPosX and WinPosY to where the window is - however you do not appear to be able to move a window any longer
