Hi, Just thought I'd share something I found yesterday. If you folks play Unreal Tournament there is a newer opengl renderer that looks great! Colors look more vibrant and such. I made a backup of course of my current OpenGLDrv.dll in the unreal system folder and replaced it with the newer one. There is also instruction sets for the new functions of the renderer that you can add to the unreal tournament.ini. I found out about this new renderer from a great mod site if your into WWII war stuff.

This is how I found out about it:

The Third Reich (http://www.thethirdreich.com) Very cool online WWII mod. Not played like Unreal though, meant to be team oriented realistic gameplay.


This is Chris Dohnal's web page. The guy who made the new opengl:

An enhanced OpenGL renderer for Unreal Tournament (http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/)

Enjoy...I am!! :yummy:

Thanks. I've always been a fan of using the OpenGL renderers with the high res textures from CD #2. If you dont play that way, you dont know what you are missing. Here is a D3D and OpenGl shot from Lava Giant

Does OpenGL have a huge framerate drop compared to D3D? Cause the quality is miles away...

If not, why don't we all use OpenGL?:confused:

What is cool is even with the extra eye candy, framerate is HIGHER in OpenGL!!

Ok, that's it. I'm running Ut2003 in OpenGL from now on!

BTW, you can run UT2003 in OpenGL without downloading any mod or anything. It just involves modifying a bit in the UT2003.ini file.

Cant do it right now, but I'll put up a guide how to do it later. Do you have UT CD #2?
