- The Linux version is available as a downloadable installer only.
- To run the Linux port on modern systems it is recommended to use this bundle, it contains the native Linux port with the unofficial 451 patch applied. It will generally work with any version since it only requires the main files. The GOG Windows installer can be unpacked with the use of InnoExtract. For the Steam version, Wine is required to get the files, an alternative is Lutris. The second alternative is to use flibitijibibo's pack (Getting the extras is recommended for this).
- An OS X patch is also available for the Mac OS version, but only for PowerPC-based machines and it only reached beta status.
- Not available for sale in Germany.
- The Rocket Arena and ChaosUT mods are only available in the retail GOTY releases and are absent from digital versions.

| Mouse acceleration | ||
| Mouse sensitivity | Mouse sensitivity is affected by the field of view and Windows Pointer Speed. Therefore it is recommended to use mouse-sensitivity.com to calculate the sensitivity based on the desired field of view and make sure the DirectInput option in Preferences → Input is checked as this option ignores the Windows Pointer Speed. | |

| Controller | ||
| Controller support | Trigger axes on XInput controllers not recognized. | |
| Full controller support | You have to edit the User.ini and UnrealTournament.ini to activate the right stick.
In user.ini find the line "JoyZ=" and modify it with "JoyZ=Axis aLookUp speed=-0.2". Find "JoyR=" and modify it to "JoyR=Axis aturn speed=0.5". In the UnrealTournament.ini find "DeadZoneRUV=False" and modify it to "DeadZoneRUV=True". You can configurate the sensitivity with the "speed" option. This worked on a TwinUsb Converter using a PS2 Controller. If axis are wrong because you have other controller, swap the "JoyZ=Axis aLookUp speed=-0.2" with the "JoyR=Axis aturn speed=0.5". Example: "JoyR=Axis aLookUp speed=-0.2" "JoyZ=Axis aturn speed=0.5" To invert an axis put a minus before the number or delete it if there is a minus already there in the "speed=" setting |
|
| Controller remapping | Fully remapable in user.ini | |
| Controller sensitivity | in user.ini change the "speed=" settings number in "JoyX=Axis astrafe speed=" "JoyY=Axis aBaseY speed=" "JoyZ=Axis aLookUp speed=" and JoyR=Axis aturn speed=". This is for contoller with two sticks like the PS2 joystick. | |
| Controller Y-axis inversion | in user.ini put a minus before the number or delete it in "JoyY=Axis aBaseY speed=". Example: "JoyY=Axis aBaseY speed=-2" |

Graphical tweaks
The vast majority of graphical tweaks are accomplished by editing the game's .ini configuration files.
High resolution textures
Replace the original textures with HD Textures and get amazing detail. Also use HD skins to improve character details. Do not use these server-side.

Various modifications, custom content such as characters, maps, mutators, and total-conversion mods can be downloaded and installed for Unreal Tournament.
- A nice collection of mods at Mod DB
Maps
Maps are custom levels that are created using mod tools or editors.
- Over 23,000 maps are found at Unreal Archive
