{{Fixbox/fix|MSI Afterburner OSD does not show|ref={{cn|date=March 2017}}}} Open RivaTuner (the tool that comes together with MSI Afterburner), add the game file UT2004.exe, and activate or deactivate Custom Direct3D support depending on the global setting.

==Issues unresolved==
 
 
===Intermittent system freeze when starting the game on Windows 7===
 
 
Though the cause of the system freeze has not been strictly identified, following methods have been reported to stop them:
 
 
* Make the game always start windowed, then switch to fullscreen with {{key|Alt|Enter}} after reaching main menu.
 
* Run UT2004 in [[Windows Compatibility Mode|Compatibility Mode]] (Windows XP Service Pack 3).
 
 
===Audio issues (especially x64 .exe)===
 
 
Intermittent sound crackling is common.

==Linux==
 
===Compatibility===
 
Unreal Tournament 2004 is capable of running both on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Linux, both versions of the client are bundled with the game.
 
 
===Installation===
 
This process is best used with the Steam version of Unreal Tournament 2004.{{cn|reason=Why is this? What makes the Steam version different or better?|date=September 2015}}
 
 
====Step 1: Downloads====
 
# {{store link|Steam|13230|The Steam version of UT2K4}}
 
# The latest patch for [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/164-unreal-tournament-2004-linux-patch/ UT2K4 (v3369.2)]
 
 
====Step 2: Moving the Steam Stuff====
 
=====CD Key Part 1=====
 
#Run Unreal Tournament 2004 in Steam.
 
#Move the folder to where you want it to be installed.
 
 
Assuming we want ~/Games/UT2K4/ and we are in the steamapps/common folder:
 
mv unreal\ tournament\ 2004/ ~/Games/UT2K4/
 
 
=====CD Key Part 2=====
 
On Steam, the CD key is not easily available. The CD key can be found from
 
wine regedit
 
32-bit prefixes will be located in
 
{{p|hklm}}\SOFTWARE\Unreal Technology\Installed Apps\UT2004.
 
64-bit prefixes will be located in
 
{{p|hklm}}\SOFTWARE\{{p|wow64}}\Unreal Technology\Installed Apps\UT2004
 
 
Install the CD key for the Linux version.
 
echo XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX > ~/Games/UT2K4/System/cdkey
 
It can now be removed from Steam.
 
 
====Step 3: The Linux Stuff====
 
=====Apply the Patch=====
 
Extract the patch anywhere. The resulting folder should contain subfolders such as "System/", "Textures/", etc. Move these folders into the UT2K4 folder. Overwrite files that should be overwritten.
 
 
=====Libraries, OpenAL=====
 
Run UT2K4 in the terminal and it should tell you what you need.
 
 
Next Is OpenAL. Install OpenAL-Soft or any other OpenAL package your distribution has. Then go into the System/ folder and enter, for example:
 
<pre>ln -s /usr/lib64/libopenal.so openal.so</pre>
 
Adjust that <code>libopenal.so</code> location as needed. Audio should now work when the game is running.
 
 
'''Libraries for Debian Wheezy (32-bit)'''
 
 
The game is hard-coded to use older versions of libraries that are no longer available in Linux distributions, the following symlinks need to be used. Force the game to use the latest versions of the listed libraries.
 
<pre>
 
sudo apt-get install libdirectfb-bin libstdc++5
 
cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
 
ln -s ./libdirect-1.2.so.9 ./libdirect-1.0.so.0
 
ln -s ./libfusion-1.2.so.9 ./libfusion-1.0.so.0
 
ln -s ./libdirect-1.2.so.9 ./libdirect-1.0.so.0
 
ln -s ./libdirectfb-1.2.so.9 ./libdirectfb-1.0.so.0
 
</pre>
 
 
=====Segmentation Fault On Startup (after game was working previously)=====
 
./ut2004-bin
 
Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
 
Aborting.
 
Crash information will be saved to your logfile.
 
 
If the game doesn't exit properly, It could end up with a corrupted <code>~/.ut2004</code> folder. Move it out of the way and try it again.
 
mv ~/.ut2004 ~/.ut2004.old
 
 
{{ii}} If you're using unstable graphics drivers, be sure to back up <code>~/.ut2004</code> folder regularly as it can easily become corrupted by game crashes.
 
 
===Running the Game===
 
For 32-bit systems, just run ut2004-bin in the System/ folder. For 64-bit systems, run ut2004-bin-linux-amd64.
 
====Unreal Editor====
 
There is no Linux version of the Unreal Editor. However, there is a native version of the UCC. To run that, run ucc-bin (or ucc-bin-linux-amd64 for 64-bit) in the System/ folder.
