UT2004 on Win10 seems a little jerky

[rawsteel1986]

Does anyone else get this?

Apparently I'm getting around 70-100FPS but I find the first few mins of gameplay to seem pretty jerky... looks more like 30FPS but my 'stat fps' command says otherwise.

Do you have any mega mod mutators? I play this with Ballistic Weapons, which is one of such thing.

disable full screen optimazations in the compatibility tab and set it to windows XP SP3

Oh no :O Only 30 fps in the first few minutes? Sounds terrible
I cant imagine how bad that must be, I've only been playing my entire life at 30 fps max.

Use the x64 patch for UT and you get a DX9 renderer.
Make sure you have installed the DirectX 9 runtime distro from microsoft to add the missing HW support for older games.

So even though I have bought this game on steam, that still mean I should get the x64 patch?

If you check the Steam Store, you will find out which Windows versions are officially supported.
Despite that, you can get this game fully functioning on Windows 10. But you have to change things for that.

During the Alpha versions of Windows 10 there were no differences for older games as all of the same directx versions of the x64 OS versions were fully supported. During Beta they decided to let the old become obsolete and they added functions to get the older games running.

The 64 bit patch or execute is what many people use, but that comes with cons.
If you read my guide you'll find all pro's and cons for the different sollutions as well a link to my dropbox. Just try out my settings by downloading all files. I've been playing UT2k3/4 for well over 15000 hours and was active as windows insider during the time they removed functions. I posted the solution here on Steam even before Windows 10 got released.

Alright so I downloaded the files and placed them in system directory. In game, I notice that some settings that ive changed kept resetting, for example Auto taunts. I enable it, but the next match I load its off again/

dont know why your having issues. i played this few weeks back with 0 tweaks or issues on windows 10 also.

Resetting after a reboot of the game?

It is indeed playable, but when you are playing for years and you upgrade from old to new Windows, you will notice that the game doesn't 'feel' the same and you see your performance drop on the scoreboard.

It seemed to fix itself, no idea why it was happening. Also, Im experiencing more game crashes. Like im playing deathmatch and then the game starts stuttering and then freezes, and finally it crashes.

Are you still making use of the 64 bit version to boot?

Nah, I just downloaded all the files that were in the TLDR section of your guide.
