RX9800 Pro 128 mb & Unreal Tournament 2004

The graphics in Unreal Tournament 2004 get a little weird for me. A lot of the things start to dissapear every few seconds then reappear for a lot of the levels. Items and stuff don't dissapear. Just stairs and walls and stuff like that. I'm using the latest DNA drivers.

I tried the newest Omega Drivers and still no change. I don't want to go back to the older drivers because Far Cry has ugly outlines around objects and characters. Is this definitely a driver problem? Should I wait for the 4.9 drivers to come out? Should i RMA my board?

Unreal Tournament 2004 won't install...

When I first got my Macbook in 2009, Unreal Tournament 2004 installed and worked just fine on it. I decided to uninstall it when I stopped playing, but now I want to play again. The problem is, the game will not install. The game installer program quits on me just after I enter the games registration code. Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it? The error literally says...

Unreal Tournament 2004 + XBOX 360 controller

So, here it the thing ...
I have a MacBook with 1GB RAM.
I recently purchased Unreal Tournament 2004 (UT2004) and I have the most recent patch.
To control said game, I am using an XBOX 360 wired controller and the (generally) excellent driver found here.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/29122
The thing is: It does not (entirely) work with UT2004!
It works beautifully with any emulators, so I know that the driver "works." I can even see what the buttons map to (i.e. ... D-Pad UP = Button 12, Left Analog UP/Down = Y-Axis, etc...). I just cannot figure out how to get UT to accept this information. The Left Analog does work, which means that I know the game can recognize the controller.
When I go to the controller setup in UT, it does not seem to want to recognize the controller though, despite the fact that the Left Analog IS working!
I know that this is kind of a fringe problem, but any help would be great.

Unreal Tournament 2004

So, my big question is that since Apple released the Universal Binary patch, will that make Unreal better suited to run on a Macbook?

The MacBook had 1 gig of RAM, so I suppose you would see something better than that, but still, Intel GMA950 is not a first choice for gaming. You can read the article here:
http://www.macworld.com/2006/05/firstlooks/macbookbench/index.php

Will the MacBook run Worms 3D and Unreal Tournament 2004?

I wish to change my current PowerBook for the new MacBook but for one of the things i use my computer the most besides for high school is to play games and i would like to know if the new MacBook will be able to run smoothly this two games.

You should have no issues with those two titles. There have been people that I've seen/heard of running Doom 3 fairly well on the Macbooks. Early benchmarks ran on the Macbooks weren't too promising, but without being able to provide any more in depth info right now, I can say that you should be fine.
Look into reviews on the Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset in general and you'll see that it's not the best out there, but I've run Unreal2k4 on PC's with graphics cards slower yet and much older then the Intel GMA950 integrated solution in the Macbook.
Obviously if you're looking to do highend/higher detail and resolution gaming then the Macbook is probly not for you. It is a decent jump of a good $1000 or so to the baseline 15" Macbook, but it'd be worth it for better gaming in the long run, aside from the other general advantages.

Unreal Tournament 2004 Graphical Corruption on X3100 IGP Santa Rosa

Does anyone have a possible solution for the graphical corruption I'm seeing here? <pictures below>
My guess is this might have something to do with the bad driver performance Windows Vista users have been experiencing with this IGP.
I've noticed Quartz Extreme and Core Image have been quite choppy also.
I'm using the latest UT2004 Patch 3369 with Universal Binary.

http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/5003/ut2004x3100screen4jl1.jpg

Note that the Intel GMA series wasn't meant for gaming at all. It's meant to accelerate media like videos. It wouldn't be surprising that there are graphical issues as its known throughout the whole GMA series.

Can I play Unreal Tournament 2003?

So I have a macbook (2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2gig Ram), and I just installed windows.
Now I want to play unreal tournament 2003. I looked at the system requirements and it says it need 64mb of video ram and 128 system ram.
I am wondering about the macbooks video ram. I know it's an integrated card. I've heard that it can use up to 128mb of ram in windows. is that true?
I'm so confused about the macbooks video ram usage.

I can play Unreal Tournament 2004 on my Core Duo Macbook with 1 GB of Ram on Medium settings just fine.
You should be fine

Unreal Tournament EAX

According to some Sites there is a Patch not the Normal EAX,
However i cant find that file cause it directs me to http://www.eax.creative.com and it comes to http://www.soundblaster.com/eax
Now is there any way i still can download that file cause i recently bought Soundblaster Audigy 2 and really need that file for Unreal Tournament .
Thanks Alot.

UT2003 and 2004 supports EAX3.0 which is EAX HD first generation.

ATI/Radeon 9800 Pro 128 AGP 4x/2x in Gigabit Ethernet dual 450 PMac G4

Hi,
This is my first time posting to these discussion group... I've been going through related threads and have not found an answer to my problem...
I have a Gigabit Ethernet dual 450 G4. Awhile ago I upgraded the processor to a Sonnet 1.8ghz so I could run Leopard.
I just bough the ATI/Radeon 9800 Pro 128 AGP 4x/2x video card. I researched around and that seemed to be a card that would work in my machine. I even read a review on Amazon where someone had also upgraded to the 1.8 processor used this card with no issues.
I do have an older monitor - Apple Studio Display CRT with the ADC connector. So I also bought the Apple DVI to ADC adapter kit.
I installed the card and do not get any picture at all - I believe I have installed everything correctly. I'm pretty sure I can hear the fan on the video card in the machine. The monitor is getting power from the adapter since the button lights up when I press it - but it does not stay lit -- the monitor never turns on. Using my old graphics card the monitor makes a little "beep" when it turns on.
In reading the other topics I am wondering if it might be a power issue? According to Other World Computing's profile my machine has a max of 220 watts. Although they suggest this video card as one the will work in my machine.
I have disabled the hard drive that came with the machine (too small) and am using two Maxtor hard drives that I added - one ATA (120gb) and one SATA (500gb) that is connected to an SATA pci card. I also have two additional pci cards with usb 2.0/firewire ports.
In looking at the topics here I came across the link about taping the 3 and 11 pins on the video card. Even though the card I have is 4x/2x not 8x I thought I'd give it a shot. That did not work either.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I don't wish to sound redundant here, but I've been reviewing the vendor's page:
It's OK- I don't mind beating this dead horse....
The maker says such to protect themselves from possible claims that may arise due to over loaded systems and power problems when their card is installed in said system.
Of course, 300w would be nice, but they didn't even specify the PSU rating a couple years ago. The Sawtooth, with it's 237w PSU, used to be listed as a compatible machine for the 9800...... They just didn't consider how far a Sawtooth might be modded.
Within reason, the early G4's (Sawtooths) are capable of using the Radeon 9800 Pro. The GE has the same 338w PSU as the DA (they are interchangeable), so there is plenty of power for the 9800.
One thing to remember, the requirements of the ADC port of the AGP slot are removed by using a non ADC card. This really changes the calculations of the power available.
It's kinda' a long post, but, if you care to get ALL the details, check the following:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7065653&#7065653
I think you'll be satisfied with the explanation.......
Which leaves your second, and very appropriate, point.
The main enemy of all, though, isn't power. Heat is the biggest concern.
Reducing heat/increasing cooling by using a third party fan on the 9800 is highly recommended. The 9800 is a hot card, and the stock fan is prone to early failure.
Adding additional cooling to remove the extra heat produced by the 9800, by using an exausting PCI fan, will also help the PSU provide adequate voltage to the system, by reducing the amount of hot air moving out of the PSU.
Super heated air moving through the PSU reduces the cooling ability of the PSU. A hot PSU doesn't produce reliable power.
So, add the 9800, add some cooling, and enjoy!

Need more 2D performance with RX9800 Pro

Hello,
I need more 2d performance with this card, better vector work optimization and so on. I'm work with Illustrator CS2, and it's too "slow" when i am dragging, etc.
Is any way to incerase 2d performance ? Some unofficial drivers, or some "hack" ?
Configuration:
MSI K8T NEO 2
CPU Athlong 64 3000+
RX9800 PRO
2x512 Apacer 400Mhz CL2.5
Seagate 120GB S-ATA
PSU 500W chill

There isn't any optimization for that card to speak of with what you are doing.
I would think a Matrox card would be better suited, but I am also speculating. It is far better at 2d performance regarding raster/vector operations.
There might be a way to optimise the driver code, but I have no idea how.
You might want to look into communities related to the work your are doing. I do remember Adobe has a forum and tech docs, perhaps you might find what you are looking for there http://www.adobe.com/support/main.html

Unreal Tournament sound

I have installed Unreal Tournament GOTY edition using the loki installer and the game work fine, with good frame rates but the sound is anoter story, as it doesn't work properly, is very bad and blurry.
¿ Does anyone has the same problem?

What environment are you using? Are you using ALSA (which you probably are)?
If so, try putting aoss in front of the /path/to/ut like so:
aoss /usr/local/games/ut/utgame-bin
I'm not sure what the name of your UT binary is or where it's stored, but give it a try with your path.

Hey. I am trying to play Unreal Tournament online with so...

Hey. I am trying to play Unreal Tournament online with some friends, but I have problems both hosting and joining in games. I have a dsl and wireless router (WRT54G) setup. I have heard that I should port foward. I tried this but no luck (maybe I didn't do it right). The problem is, with dial-up, all I had to do was enter the host IP and I was able to join. With this current setup, it just never connects...Please help, I've tried alot of stuff and just don't have any more ideas about now....Thanks.

Well linksys router doesn't work with the Dial-up connection all you need to do is use the local area network connection & it will definately work!!

Unreal Tournament (not 2003) questions?

Configured my UT to run in D3D instead of OpenGL (version of UT that came with my GeForce 2).
Patched it to most recent version (4.x, dont remember the version at the moment).
And then i want do some benchmarks (which i have not yet had time to enjoy since i got my GF4). So i have some questions.
1. It was ages ago i did benchmarks in UT. Is there any way to timedemo it without actually playing it?
2. Is there any way to start a bot game and remain a spectator?

UT
Demos:
http://www.3dcenter.de/downloads/unreal-tournament-worstcase.php
http://www.3dcenter.de/downloads/unreal-tournament-utbench.php
Unpack demo files to UnrealTournament/System folder. Run UT. Type
timedemo 1
into console to activate frame counter. Type
demoplay worstcase?noframecap
or
demoplay utbench?noframecap
to run the benchmark. When finished, open the console window for FPS values.
Spectating: Simply go into player setup, mark "play as spectator" and start a practice session with some bots.
RtCW:

Don`t know how to benchmark.

Unreal Tournament 99 - Wont start- OpenGL/32bit issue?

I have an AMD card with the latest beta driver.
When I try to start unreal tournament (using ut-bin -log for more detailed output) I get:

The issue is at the OpenGL level. The screen brightness changes for a split second as if it's about to launch the game.
glxgears runs fine and KDE is running using OpenGL.
I have the same copy of Unreal Tournament running on the same machine inside a Linux Mint installation with the same 14.1 catalyst driver and it works fine.
My assumption is that I'm missing a 32 bit library but I have no idea what it may be. Not sure if this helps anyone but if I run
ldd ut-bin
I get

Any ideas? Thanks for any help!

I've done that and it's made no difference:

It looks like it's a 32 bit opengl problem as "glxinfo32 | grep OpenGL" provides no outptut, running just "glxinfo32" reports:

What do I need to do to completely reinstall the 32 bit opengl library? I thought it came with the catalyst driver.
edit after reinstalling lib32-mesa-libgl I now get the output:
