I miss you guys!

Post by Frank.Sinatra »

Got the new pc last week so I could play UT3 but in the process, cannot play 2k4 since my DVD is somewhere lost in boxes in a friend cellar and ITS DAMN ANNOYING coz even though i havent been on your server for long (I spent the past couple of years on demo servers) I really loved the community and the maps there.

Anyway, just wanted to tell that and wish a merry Christmas to everyone around since I cannot do it directly on the server. And don't forget : no pizza on Christmas day!

PS : If anyone knows how to reinstall a full game from the demo and copying some backup files from my old pc, please let me know...no need for a fast answer since i wont be home before January but all hints would be welcome :D

YOHOHO Frankie :P

First of all: how can u betray us with ut3?

I dont know if it works everywhere, but my friend can play all maps on 3o server, cause he has done something like this:

-Copy the whole game frome old hard-drive
-install ut2004 demo (after install, demo folder+files can be deleted, dont run uninstall!)
-run ut2004.exe from "old-hard-drive-copy" :P

this shuld work on most servers, probaly wont on those with mega-security


Merry Xmass Motherlover !!

p.s.: i hope, my post wont come across with some anti-piracy policies here.. delete it if necesery :)

Hi Frank. Yeah, I have not been around much either. I had to reinstall my system, after about 18 months of good running.

What system did you buy? Mine is still good and do not want to invest the cash right now, just because of a game.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a happy new year.

BTW, yes that is close to goiing over the A-P rules here. lets see what the admins say about it.

How is playing UT3, betraying us?

People should wake up and say how wonderful the game really is, you should really curl up, cry and die while ur at it, if you really think the game sucks cuz of no dodge-jump.
The server stuff will all be solved with patches, gamespy IS a good thing..
Besides, the reasons I buy games is for gameplay and graphics, both are superb.
To get clear, I'm not aiming this at anyone directly, just he betrayal line made me wanna say this lol...

I had tried to copy my old game folders OVER the demo and that gave me Blue screens of death (but i had them for other reasons too when I got the new pc so I did a clean reinstall of Vista and it seems stable now).
I'll try the 54 tips when I am back at home (one week or so) and we'll see if Im luckier this time.
If I dont need my old key to play TCP its great, otherwise if you have an easy method on how to copy it and have time to put it here (or a link to the method should do) I'm all ears.
New system is AMD X2 6400+ and 8800GT (the old one was crap, i go from 3dmark06 score of 525 to 10500 - not overclocked = heaven). UT3 will take some time to adapt to, i would have been happier if it had been UT2k4 with better graphics but i think its still possible to like it despite this, its a damn beautiful game, and most probably a good one, as soon as you have given up on your 2k4 habits

And just as a quick reply to snowbird, I bought the original game, its just a practical issue - when you move regularly and leave boxes here and there, some things get "lost" on the way...I'll find it again someday, just have to visit a friends cellar....but I had no problem giving my money to Epic, 2k4 was the best game i ever played, it was totally deserved (actually bought it twice by mistake due to some fucked up preorder package that shipped one week late back then and i couldnt wait to play it the day it came out back then)

I dont really mind the gamespy thingie....I wished setname would reappear someday just for the fun of it (and since i have a different name for clan wars) but other than that, its really no big deal to me.

Try the game peeps, its worth it and we need a community to make it fun playing too :D

Take care

Hello Frank Sinatra!

Nice to see you here. :-) It's always a huge challenge to play against you (and a pleasure to play with you ;-)).

Anyway, I think your problem isn't really that big. I remember when I needed the game on my notebook, I didn't install anything at all. I just copied the whole UT2004 folder (with all contents) from my PC to my notebook. Then I ran the UT2004.exe file in the System subfolder and voilá, it worked. Most of the registry settings are being restored when they're missing and the key you entered when installing the game on your other PC should be located in a file somewhere in your game dir. However, you won't be able to uninstall the game from the Control Panel, of course, but instead, you'd just have to delete the UT2004 folder with all it's contents and remove the registry settings.

Well, I did all this a few years ago, so maybe I'm mixing it up with "Unreal Tournament", which I also played at this time. It works 100% for UT, but I think I also made it for UT2004, just because I was too lazy to install the game (and all patches, maps, mutators, etc.) from scratch. Anyway, it's worth giving it a try (can't harm anything). But still, I would uninstall the UT2004 demo before doing it...

Concerning Game-Spy: Ghost, how can you be that naive? What, do you think, is the reason they're offering this service at all? How can they finance all this? I guess (that means I don't really know it) they're collecting all kinds of information about you and your habits of computer usage, probably cross-connect them with other information and sell them to some advertising company (or worse)... That's something I really don't like about UT3 at all.

Coco.

Coco... yea, that works with Unreal and UT(99)... -NOT- with ut2k4 since the CD key will be missing.

Can I recover my CD key from my old pc ? If so, how ? Is that key the same that was on the box ? (in which case I might download the game and use my old key - thats not illegal is it ?!)

Yes u can :)

First off open up Regedit
then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Then SOFTWARE
Then Unreal Technolgy
then installed apps
then ut2004 .. in there u will find your installed cd key
