Running UT2004 on Windows 10

[Zon3r]

Zony, are you running the 64-bit version as well? That's the one I'm using.

Yes, of course, why walk when you can fly
(if by that you mean windows version, as for game i'm using the 32bit version, cause the 64 one is bugged for me, at least it was on win8)
Seriously. i don't understand the hate on win10, works like a charm for me

Same here. Had zero problems upgrading from Windows 7. All games work just like they did with Windows 7. Haven't compared performance figures but nothings jumped out at me to think I'm getting slower performance.

Hello All
this is the second time I upgrade to win 10, then I have to downgrade to win 8 ..BECAUSE UT2004 does not work.
What went wrong?
Thank you

Can you give any more information on the problem? Any errors?

I tried what I could to my knowledge, UT2k4 keep crashing, after few seconds, I am back to windows 8, all fine as it was...
Thank you all for your responds, appreciate the debate, could not get smarter, I will keep windows 8, hopefully without Mr. Gate popping up to upgrade...

For future reference: Error reports should always contain a literal quote of the error message, otherwise helping properly is extremely difficult.

Hello Again..
Thank you all for your words..., My windows 8 is 64 bit, win 10 as well, will try to do clean install to UR2004, and patch it, will see if it works...
greetings

Dally also switched to Win10 and had problems running UT in fullscreen. He solved it with the trick Crazy suggested.

If the game works fine on windowed mode (win10) and crashes in fullscreen you can solve it by changing ReduceMouseLag to False in ut2004.ini

works for me ^^

Seems weird, but that worked for me too.

I have found though that none of the Brightness/Contrast or Gamma adjustment settings work now and the screen is quite dark.

It seems to have fixed the problem for AfterTwoBowls as well.

Can you check if you have "Adaptive Brightness" turned on? Here's a tutorial how to find it in the settings and turn it off.

If that does not work, it might be a driver issue with your graphic card. Here's a discussion about it with a possible solution.
