UT(99,2k3,2k4) registry files for windows reinstall

WisMerHill · Aug 31, 2004, 01:56 PM

Regularly i have people comming to me who have reinstalled windows but still have their Unreal Tournament installation on another partition, and they ask me for these files so they'll keep all their existing settings, patches and maps but be able to play UT again which windows doesn't allow after reinstall because all the registry info is gone.

Usage:
- Copy one of the quoted textblocks below and paste in a new .txt file
- Edit the bold typings (the app path to your UT dir and your CDKey)
- Save as UT99.reg / UT2003.reg / UT2004.reg
- Doubleclick the reg file to enter the data to the Windows registy.
- Doubleclick UT(x).exe and have fun
