Default Unreal Tournament 04 Resolution?

I was wondering if there is a way to get UT04 to play in something higher than 1280x1024? i have a 19'' Wide screen and usually run everything in 1440x900

Is there a way to change the resolution?

You have to play around with the .ini file. Just read the method in the link I supplied. Change the resolution and make sure you change the field of view (fov) as well.

It's not a perfect fix (the gave it the grade B) but a stretched HUD isn't that bad.

I think 1440x900 is 16:10 but I'm not sure. That website is very useful about widescreen gaming (hence the name of the website).

Just get the update, it has widescreen support for sure... I've used 16:9 modes and 16:10 modes. 1440x900, 1680x1050 and 1920x1080.

If your game is not patched with the latest version, it may not be a selection in the game menu.

Go to www.unrealtournament.com for the patch.

EDIT: I have only used UT2k4 on Linux and Mac OS X. So I might be wrong, but I know for sure than UT2k4 supports widescreen through the game menu on these.

Okay i got the game today and installed it. Uninstalled the demo. Went to the web site and downloaded the newest patch.

But either A. i installed it wrong. or B. it don't support widescreen. I still don't have the option to change it pasted 1280x1024 res. When i downloaded the patch i just unzipped it and copied the files and stuck them in the UT04 folder.

Is there something I'm missing? or is there a way i can check if i have the patch installed right?

When you download, you double click on the .exe.

Any graphics card can do any resolution you want. If anyone says otherwise, they are lying.

It's a myth that really needs to die.
