Mods
Single-player
- Out of Hell is a single-player horror experience with clever writing, brutal gameplay and impressive visuals. Deep and branching storyline which extends over 10 different locations will keep you well occupied.
- Dark Corners is a fear-driven storytelling experiment. An attempt to create suggestive horror within the boundaries of FPS gameplay, and one that succeeds at its goal.
- Damnation is a steam-punk / western / fantasy genre-blending cross between the action of first-person shooters and the navigational puzzle design of games like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
Multi-player
- ChaosUT2: Evolution is a continuation of Chaos mod series, released for many different FPS games. It rehashes the regular gameplay extensively, adding lots of unique weaponry, gameplay mechanics and completely new game modes. Let it just be said that it features a gun capable of launching miniscule black holes.
- Killing Floor is a squad-based zombie game. A total conversion of regular UT2004, it features frantic wave-based survival mode, realistic weaponry and plenty of target practice. The mod has moved on to become a stand-alone game, but there is still a community of dedicated players of the UT2004 version.
- Red Orchestra is another total conversion, this time putting the players in the Russia's side of WWII warzone. The mod aims for high realism and provides the gameplay closer to WWII shooters than original UT2004. Just like Killing Floor, the mod has since become a stand-alone game.
- AirBuccaneers adds a completely new game mode which revolves around hot air balloons and cannons. Think pirate battles, but more steam-punk and in the air. Comes with entirely new set of maps and visuals to complete the effect.
- Ballistic Weapons completely replaces the firearm collection of vanilla UT2004 with over 30 new weapons, as well as accompanying mechanics, such as dual-wielding, dynamic accuracy or fire modes, in order to give the game more tactical style. Several community add-ons for Ballistic Weapons have been released as well.
- UnWheel builds upon the vehicle mechanics of UT2004 to create a vast assortment of vehicle-based gameplay modes and gear, with the focus on fun driving, whether in race or free roam.
- Gunreal revamps the UT2004 combat with a new set of game mechanics, weapons and pacing. It features 14 new weapons, weapon shopping system, dynamic inventory, stamina-based movement, dynamic accuracy and ridiculous amounts of gore.

Issues fixed
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Low sound volume on Windows 7
Go to Start menu -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, then pick the Communications Tab, and check "Do Nothing". Sound volume in UT2004 should be back to normal.

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 Alt+↵ Enter after reaching main menu.
- Run UT2004 in Compatibility Mode (Windows XP Service Pack 3).
Linux
Compatibility
Unreal Tournament 2004 is capable of running natively both on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Linux, as both versions of the client are by default bundled with the game.
Installation
The process shown below is best used with the Steam version of Unreal Tournament 2004.
Step 1: Downloads
1. The Steam version of UT2K4: http://store.steampowered.com/app/13230/
2. The latest patch for UT2K4 (v3369.2): http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/164-unreal-tournament-2004-linux-patch/
Step 2: Moving the Steam Stuff
CD Key Part 1
Before we start moving stuff around, be sure to run UT2K4 in Steam. We'll show you why in a moment...
Actually Moving the Game
Luckily, unlike the original Unreal Tournament, moving UT2K4 is just a matter of moving the folder 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
One strange thing about UT2K4 on Steam is that the CD key is not made easily available like most Steam games with keys. However, we can get the CD key from
wine regedit
For 32-bit prefixes it will be located in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Unreal Technology\Installed Apps\UT2004.
For 64-bit prefixes it will be located in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Unreal Technology\Installed Apps\UT2004
Now, to install the CD key for the Linux version...
echo XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX > ~/Games/UT2K4/System/cdkey
And that should be it for the Steam side of things. You can now remove it from Steam.
Step 3: The Linux Stuff
Apply the Patch
Extract the patch anywhere you want. The resulting folder should contain subfolders such as "System/", "Textures/", etc. All we need to do here is move those folders over into the UT2K4 folder. It should overwrite a bunch of files, but this is okay and it indicates that you're putting it in the right place.
Libraries, OpenAL
Unfortunately I do not have a list of libraries you will need to run UT2K4, but if you run it in the terminal it should tell you what you need. If you do this or know what the libraries are, please list them here.
The one that you will definitely need to mess with is OpenAL. First, install OpenAL-Soft or whatever OpenAL package your distribution has. Then you will need to go into the System/ folder and enter this, for example:
ln -s /usr/lib64/libopenal.so openal.so
Adjust that libopenal.so location as needed. Audio should then work when you run the game.
Libraries for Debian Wheezy (32-bit)
Since 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 so force the game to use the latest versions of these libraries. Without these symlinks, the game cannot find the libraries that it requires.
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
Segmentation Fault On Startup (after game was working previously)
./ut2004-bin Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault] Aborting. Crash information will be saved to your logfile.
In some cases, if the game doesn't exit properly, you could end up with a corrupted ~/.ut2004 folder. Simply move it out of the way and try it again.
mv ~/.ut2004 ~/.ut2004.old
Pro Tip: If you're using unstable graphics drivers, be sure to back up your ~/.ut2004 folder regularly as it will very easily become corrupted by the game crashing!!
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.
