UT2K3 is capable at runing at 1440 by 900 on my iMac which is its native res. On the other hand my new 1.67GHz 15 inch PB cannot run UT2K3 at its native res., which is 1280 by 8??, is their a way I can get UT2K3 to run at that res. and eliminate the black lines on either side of my screen?

If you do not see your native screen resolution in UT2K4's Display menu you can open your UT2004.ini file in ~/Library/Application Support/Unreal Tournament 2004/System/ in a text editor. Scroll down to

Code:

[SDLDrv.SDLClient]
WindowedViewportX=640
WindowedViewportY=480
FullscreenViewportX=nnnn
FullscreenViewportY=nnnn
MenuViewportX=640
MenuViewportY=480

where nnnn will be what ever you have currently set as the resolution. Change those to your desired resolution and save.

Doc's suggestion works in 2K3 as well. May we suggest an upgrade to 2K4. A much better and supported game.

Would it run as good as UT2K3 on my PB, the demo ran really poorly on my iMac while UT2K3 ran quite well.

And thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try and report back.

Hard to say. I've seen some people get acceptable performance on a PB. Would recommend you try the UT2K4 demo on the PB and see if it will be acceptable.

In game, you can type 'setres 1440x960' in the console to switch it.

Thats nice to know, I tried Doc's way and it works, thanks.

Depends on which demo. The second gen. runs much better.

A new demo came out shortly after the ECE bonus pack did. It contained all the patches since then which included many performance tweaks. DL the demo again and give it another try.

Ok, I'll give it a try.
