Introduction
Thank you for using UT Tweak.  I have made UT Tweak, because we at RUM got sick of changing settings in Unreal Tournament. So i have developed this programs which is able to change settings without using Unreal Tournament.
UT Tweak is an easy to use tweaking program which is able to change many settings such as resolution, colour depth, memory usage etc..

Features
As mentioned in the introduction UT Tweak is able change many settings for UT without having to startup the game.

What's new?
In this first version UT Tweak is fully compatible with the standard UT game and current update-patches (4.20, 4.25, 4.28).
I have tested UT Tweak in Win98(SE). I have not been able test UT Tweak in WinME or Win2000, so i recommend using UT Tweak only in Win98(SE).

Graphics settings
    Unreal tournament has a lot of graphics settings like, dynamic lighting, slow video buffering, coronas , etc... which cannot be changed in the
    standard UT interface, you can change them in the advanced interface, but that takes too long to do.

    In the frame graphics settings (main interface) there are three options, 1)  Slow system
                                                                                                                             2)  Fast system
                                                                                                                             3) User defined
    Slow / Fast systems
    Slow system en Fast system are predefined graphics settings for UT, like colour depth , Dynamic light and more...
    By selecting one of these two changes will be made immediatly to UT

    User defined
    By selecting user defined you will be abble to make changes yourself.

Memory Settings
    Unreal tournament originaly usage 4 Mb for playing. By enlarging this u will be able to have a more smooth gameplay.
    As mentioned throughout this help file, UT Tweak will detect and suggest a amount of memory usage at startup.Changes will not be made
    immediatly, too make these changes we reffer u to How to change memory settings.

Display and resolution
    In the last frame you can change the display drivers and resolution, the following drivers and resolution option i have defined.
 

    Warning
    I do advise users to see what kind of  drivers your graphics card  support, since i do not have an internal fail safe check for this.Further more i
    do not check if your monitor can handle the resolutions. SO BE CAREFULL.
