How do I copy my UT2004 profile onto another machine?

Put your User.ini into ~/.ut2004/System. If you want to keep your
single player ladder, you're in a bit more trouble. I wanted to copy
it from Linux to a WinXP machine, and when I tried to load it, it
refused because it was from another computer. Oh, the single player
saves are in ut2004\Saves on your WinXP (I guess) and you place them
in ~/.ut2004/Saves on your Linux box.

Thanks, Meltdown. I presume the single player ladder you mentioned is
the saved files?

Hi again, MeltDown

I've been able to copy the *.uvx files (of both UT2003 and UT2004) from
Windows to Linux. I've recovered my profiles and they worked as before.
Probably Linux rules ;-) but nothing seems to be broken and the game didn't
complain about the files. So I guess you might have to tune your INI files a
little bit so that it works.

As for me I just copied back to the User.ini file on Linux everything in the
sections but the player definition and the shortcut definitions from the one
on Windows. These are the first two sections in the file. Probably *that*
works with the saved files.

Hope this helps. And lot of thanks again for your help.

Vince C.

I didn't only copy from Linux -> Windows, but also to a completely
diffferent computer. I have no Windows, you see. Anyway, since I have
no desire at all to play it on Windows, I've stopped trying after the
first attempt. Playing UT2004 on that box was merely a check to see if
it was still running properly ;-)

Linux rules, though ;-)
