This is the final Unreal 1 patch.  It is based on the earlier 226 patch and includes the latest Direct3D and sound code from Unreal Tournament. Please read the Release Notes for more information about this patch.  This patch is network-game compatible with existing patch versions Unreal 224, 225 and 226.  Servers do not need to upgrade, as this patch contains mainly client improvements. 

Instructions

To install, download the patch and run it.  It will ask you for the location of your Unreal installation.  Check the location it provides and press Next.  The patcher will then ask you to insert your Unreal CD into your CD-ROM drive so it can refer to some of the original files shipped with Unreal.  Confirm your CD-ROM drive letter and press Next.  When the patch is installed you may launch Unreal as usual. You will need to reconfigure your display settings and controls.

Versions of Unreal bundled with hardware between version 209 and 221 are not compatible with the patch.

It's safe to install this patch on top of previous Unreal patches.  This patch replaces any old files that need updating.

This patch should be compatible with all user-created maps, texture sets, sound files, and music files.  It is not compatible with user mods (.u files) created with versions earlier than 224, or maps which rely on those mods for operation; these mods will need to be recompiled, as described on the Tech Page.
