Hi.

I've installed UT2004 (still on my Gentoo Linux 2.4.26-r6 box ;-) and
there is only one resolution available: 800x600. I have a nVidia GeForce
FX5200, which can... well much more than this. I've tried to change
Default.ini in UT2004 System directory but no way. Not that it prevents
me from playing correctly but I'd like to know why I can't switch to a
higher resolution...

Thanks in advance,
Vince C.

I have that too, don't know why. Just edit your
~/.ut2004/System/UT2004.ini and manually set the fullscreen resolution
to something you do want. Worked on my box.

Sure, because that file isn't used at all, except to initially copy to
a location that *is* used.

Thanks, Meltdown. It worked for me too. I just hope these bugs will be
addressed soon.
