Patching an existing copy of UT2004 to the latest version

Before you start patching with the new patch: Things to do first

1. If you are already using a pirate/warez or GOG key: Follow these instructions first.
2. If you have newly installed from a disk, or are running an existing install with version earlier than v3369
   • Update first using this if you're on Linux or
   • Update first using this if you're on Windows
3. Continue from "Patching existing v3369 installs" below.

Patching existing v3369 installs

1. Make a backup of your System directory.
2. Once you have a safe backed up copy of the System directory, delete all executables and .u files in the System directory.
3. Grab the latest patch.
4. Extract it over your install.

Last steps in Updating Existing Client Installations

Update your UT2004.ini.

1. To point to the new main menu, which adjusts better to wide-screen layout, in section [Engine.GameEngine] update from MainMenuClass=GUI2K4.UT2K4MainMenu to MainMenuClass=GUI2K4.UT2K4MainMenuWS.
2. Configure for the available master servers: In section [IpDrv.MasterServerLink] configure with:

MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902,Group=0)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.333networks.com",Port=28902,Group=1)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.errorist.eu",Port=28902,Group=1)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.gonespy.com",Port=28902,Group=1)
MasterServerList=(Address="master.frag-net.com",Port=28902,Group=1)

• If you need to revert to v3369 for an AntiTCC server, rename System, rename your System backup to System.

Last steps in Updating Existing Server Installations

If you are currently using any mutator or server actor to report to multiple master servers, remove them. They are unlikely to work any longer due to changes in class MasterServerUplink, and should not be necessary. You should, however, make the following changes to your server configuration file (e.g., UT2004.ini):

1. In [Engine.GameEngine] section, replace ServerActors=IpDrv.MasterServerUplink with ServerActors=IpDrv.MasterServerLauncher
2. In [IpDrv.MasterServerLink] section, you must have at least one entry in the MasterServerList, whether or not you want to be actively listed ([IpDrv.MasterServerUplink]->DoUplink=True/False). Populate the list with each master server you may wish to report to. Examples:

• MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)
• MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.333networks.com",Port=28902)
• MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.errorist.eu",Port=28902)
• MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.gonespy.com",Port=28902)
• MasterServerList=(Address="master.frag-net.com",Port=28902)
