  Video card capable of 640x480 resolution
  XFree86 3.3.5 or newer at 16bpp
  OSS compatible sound card
  Hard disk with at least 550 MB of space

This product is not intended for use with any version of the Windows

----------------
(2) INSTALLATION
----------------

To make use of the S3TC compression feature, install 436 and then
manually copy over the files from your Textures directory from your
2nd UT CD to the Textures directory in your INSTALL_DIR/Textures
directory overwriting existing files (except credits.utx).


--------------------
(3) PLAYING THE GAME
--------------------

Run 'ut' to start the game.

The first time you run Unreal Tournament it will create a ~/.loki/ut
directory. Preferences, etc., will be stored here.


----------------------------

OpenGL Renderer

- implemented detail textures
- additional implementation (using vertex arrays)
- fixed minor visual artifacts (in conjunction with fog)

(6) TROUBLESHOOTING
-------------------

The following are some of the more common problems you might have, and
recommended solutions. For more details see the support section on
www.lokigames.com and visit our bug reporting system at

http://fenris.lokigames.com.

   
Q: The game segfaults when trying to use windowed mode with the Glide
   renderer.

A: Glide doesn't support rendering in a window.


Q: Most of the time when I connect to a server on the internet it starts
   downloading "multimesh".

A: It is strongly advised that you install the official Bonuspack available
   at http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10044-108-58371.html?bt.dl-10008.EpicMegaGames.10044-108-58371 
   which includes the required files to play on most internet servers nowadays.


Q: I am rendering in windowed mode and the mouse is grabbed in the window.

A: You can press CTRL-G to change between grabbing or not. Alternatively 
   you can change the UnrealTournament.ini file


Q: The game crashes and I can't switch back to my normal resolution using
   CTRL-ALT- +/-

A: After running "xvidtune -unlock" you can change resolutions normally.


Q: I installed the Glide[OpenGL] Renderer as default but now want to use 
   the OpenGL[Glide] renderer.

Q: I want to use the Software Renderer.

A: Edit the following lines in either 
   (INSTALL_PATH)/System/UnrealTournament.ini or
   (HOME)/.loki/ut/System/UnrealTournament.ini

   To use the OpenGL renderer:

   [Engine.Engine]
   GameRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice
   WindowedRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice
   RenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice

   To use the Glide renderer:

   [Engine.Engine]
   GameRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
   WindowedRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
   RenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice

   To use the Software renderer:

   [Engine.Engine]
   GameRenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
   WindowedRenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
   RenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice

   Global settings are made in (INSTALL_PATH)/... and local ones in your
   home directory. When you first run Unreal Tournament it will copy the
   version of UnrealTournament.ini from (INSTALL_PATH)/... to your home
   directory and from there on only use the one in your home directory.


Q: How can I specify my OpenGL library?

A: You can choose the OpenGL library Unreal Tournament tries to use
   by specifying the path to it in your UnrealTournament.ini

   [SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice]

   OpenGLLibName=libGL.so.1

   or 

   OpenGLLibName=/opengl/library/path/libMYGL.so


Q: I am using XF 4.0 with my 3dfx card and the textures look really
   weird. When I exit the game I can see a "No space for texture"
   error message.

A: This is a bug in DRI that got fixed recently (07/31/00). You have 
   to use the CVS version of DRI.


Q: The towers seem to flicker in CTF-FACE.

A: If you have a 3dfx card please choose the Glide renderer. Otherwise
   try to use 32 bit renderering which should resolve the issues you 
   are seeing and also will enhance the display quality.
