how to fix problem [ slow/fast movement ] by Headscratcher
1: Try to uninstall AMD 64b processor driver (something like that).
-> personal experience with singlecore AMD processor
- dunno about dual core AMD cpus...
- Intels are fine as far as I know
2. Download D3D9 from here. (the settings are made for D3D)
3. Load the downloaded file into your Unreal Tournament\System directory.
4. Go to: Options/Preferences/Video/ click on "change" => the game will close and a video driver dialog will open. Click to "show all devices" (something like that) , switch to D3D9.
5. Go to your "UT/System" folder, open the "UnrealTournament.ini" file in a text editor, find the section below and replace it with given lines:
(I added some comments for important lines - do not copy these comments into the ini file!!!)
