Unreal Tournament 2004 is an online FPS from Epic Games and Infogrames, and the follow-up to the previous entry Unreal Tournament 2003. Assault mode returns, and a new strategy-oriented mode called Onslaught is added. Possibly more notable are vehicles throughout the maps, some of which require multiple pilots to operate completely.

Widescreen Support

Method

You may find that you can select your resolution and adjust the FOV to your preference (up to 100) via the ingame menu. If your desired resolution is not available, or if you want an FOV above 100 (recommended for 16:9 displays), keep reading. Otherwise, you can skip this section.

Go to <gameDir>\system. Open ut2004.ini. Find these lines:

FullscreenViewportX=xxxx
FullscreenViewportY=xxx

Change them to set your resolution.


Now open user.ini. Find these lines:

DesiredFOV=90.000000
DefaultFOV=90.000000

Change the values to set your FOV to your preference. I recommend 100 for 16:10 displays, and 105 for 16:9 displays. Unlike UT2003, the game will not revert high FOV values back to 100.
