Yeah feel free to max out your graphics!
Just make sure you have Color Depth (32) and you're good to go! ^-^

I never had to download the latest patch to get this to work.

It will work, but the patch includes a huge catalogue of bugfixes, features and the like.

Also, as a result of the gamespy shutdown, you won't really be able to access multiplayer without the patch, which directs you to a new masterserver in order to retrieve the server list.

If I change the color depth, the change becomes undone RIGHT when I exit the video options windows. However, lag isn't a problem for me as long as I use the 3dfx glide video driver for the game. It only lags if I use the Direct3D video mode. I'll say, maybe the change doesn't become undone if I use the Direct3D video mode as I've only tried doing this in 3dfx glide, but my hopes aren't high. EDIT: Hey, turns out the change didn't become undone in Direct3D. Now I've got myself a nice, smooth, fullscreen game. Sweet!

No problem!
The devs should change the default settings for modern PCs cause having to do this manually kinda sucks. lol

Aswel as that, but they are also not attributing 227 to the updates via Steam, I think this confuses alot of people in regards to having to update manually. Otherwise people need to keep bumping the mention of 227 and where to acquire it on the Unreal community wall/discussions area.
