Trouble editing UT2004 .ini's

[cjv998]

Hi everyone. So I decided to play UT2004 on my Vista PC. There's one problem though: When I edit the ut2004.ini to get the game to play at 1920x1080 (or 1280x720, I don't care either way really), it ignores my changes, and goes with whatever the last setting was. I've changed it under both the categories it appears in, just to be safe (WindowsClient and SDLClient). I've tried restarting too, but that didn't help. Is there just a temp file somewhere that I need to delete or something? What am I missing, I know I've made these changes work fine in XP. Thanks.

If you did the default install of /programfiles/ut2004 on Vista then search for duplicate copies of the ut2004.ini file, you will likely fine one hidden in a temp folder.

Try setting the file to read-only after you make the changes.

Awesome, that worked, found it. Dunno why I didn't think of that myself, haha. Anyway, thanks again.

Don't forget to change your FOV too. Here's the official widescreen info from widescreengamingforum:

Interestingly, they don't seem to have figured out Nanan's Vista fix.
