Hi guys, ever thought about tweaking the UT3 configuration? It can increase the performance and optimize the game either for slow or fast PCs.

A tool to change the settings easyly is the Ut3tweaker (http://www.brad-g.com/unreal-tournament-3-tweaker-v5-0-t2.html)





A really important setting may be to increase the smooth framerate value in the UTEngine.ini: if you have a fast pc and the fps are limited to something like 60 it is a disadvantage if you are a fast one with your mouse^^
You can change it manually be seeking in UTEngine.ini

bSmoothFrameRate=False
MinSmoothedFrameRate=
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=
bClearAnimSetLinkupCachesOnLoadMap=False


change it to:
bSmoothFrameRate=True
MinSmoothedFrameRate=125
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=126
bClearAnimSetLinkupCachesOnLoadMap=True




Other settings to keep a full view and a clear screen:
UTInput.ini
[UTGame.UTConsolePlayerInput]
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
UTEngine.ini
[SystemSettings]
MotionBlur=False
DepthOfField=False
Bloom=False
ScreenPercentage=100.00000



You may add further optimizations if you know something useful.

I just wanted to say that I changed my maximum fps, as Vegas proposed, and it is helping me really a lot!

I also increased my mouse speed by 10% to own even more Wink

I recommend every good player to increase their FPS, if their systems are good enough!

I'm playing with 120 fps right now.

I changed everything like you said in the first post, now my UT3 works faster (30-40 fps), but the graphics become suck - no shadows, some fucking fog everywhere in long distances and so on. I think this version is for victory, not for fun playing.

Did you also deactivate V-Sync in game and in driver?
(Driver should be enough).

Sure, take a look at the rgb color palette on http://www.two4u.com/color/medium.html

...but yellow should be easy in R(ed)G(reen)B(lue): just leave Blue zero, thats a pure yellow =)

R,G,B
255,255,0

If you want to get the body color, just type "face8D" in Hex code. Yeah it works xD

Here you can't type the hex code to give you the color, so try in photoshop or paint...

I posted this chart because I like to work with it. If I work with Photoshop I can take its chart, but to load Photoshop on my i-net pc is not a good idea... cause I will need this if I work with Dreamweaver, that doesn't offer a such practical color picker most of the time (only for html fonts and similar). I simply would go out of ram with Photoshop, Deamweaver and FFox open at the same time.

Here you can't type the hex code to give you the color
Than you are doing something wrong.

Guys, any idea how to remove the power-ups colors?
Juggernaut sucks on Corruption and other maps:


I heard some guys did remove it (in other forums).

Hi,
Thank you.
UTEngine.ini:
DepthOfField=False works!

However, the game loses its "touch", seems a little bit dark and colorless.
I think I'll let it on...

Hmm isn't there a possibility to turn it on/off ingame?
Opening the console and typing DepthOfField=False or DepthOfField=True does not work.
If it would work, I would bind it to a key and press it when I'm a Juggernaut...

Edit
The first is the modded version and the second the normal version:


And I prefer the second version!

Depth of field has influence on many other grafic effects: what you define as dark is the reduced hdr effect. If you play with quality bloom instead of hdr (i do), the screen gets very dark and lights get wrong contrasts and color coronas with deep of field. Its very sad that this option has all those side effects but could make the game look very good and make grafics much more realistic. I came to the end that its best to play without depth of field, especially because this option has also a slight, very small sideeffect on your long range sight. *lol

I play with the settings that looks like picture number 1.

At first i also thought the game colours changed a lot when u turned off depth of field.
It started to look more like an old game and it didnt have all these ugly bright colouring that all new  games seem to have. Just take a look at the sky and compare those 2 pictures.
The 1st one looks more natural to me.
The unnatural brightning is gone but the game becomes a little darker.
U'll get used to it and i think visibility is better in water, when u have juggernaut and and other stuff.
Everybody have their taste, but:
DepthOfField=false; Because you're worth it :)

I have most of the effects turned off, because i have too big monitor and too bad videocard...and it's still not more, than 35-40 fps.
