D3D10/High Res/Widescreen Fix
Installing the Direct3D 10 renderer allows you to play the game in high-resolution, widescreen, and Direct3D 10. There's also a Direct3D 11 renderer, but currently no significant changes from D3D10 renderer. It is also worth noting that the DX10/11 renderer will not work with the 227 Old Unreal Patches.
High Resolution Textures
Replace the original textures with S3TC Textures and get amazing detail. Do not use these server-side.
High Resolution Skins
Replace the original skins with lore faithful High Resolution Skins
Mods
Various modifications, custom content such as characters, maps, plugins, and total-conversion mods can be downloaded and installed for Unreal. Like every game in the Unreal franchise, there's a ton of mods floating around the web on fansites like Oldunreal.
