Package Information

Description:
This package installs just the data files, not the engine, for Epic's popular first-person shooter game, Unreal Tournament 2004. Epic privately shared the engine sources with the community OldUnreal team, who now maintain it and publish modern builds. Epic also, somewhat informally, gave permission for OldUnreal to host a DVD ISO of the game for the community to download and play for free. This was announced by OldUnreal on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealtournament/comments/1pdbcc3/oldunreal_takes_over_maintenance_of_unreal Epic had already confirmed their permission to do this with their earlier Unreal titles to GamingOnLinux here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/11/classic-unreal-tournament-and-unreal-now-easier-to-download-free-thanks-to-oldunreal/ "We can confirm that Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament are available on archive.org and people are free to independently link to and play these versions." Epic's web page for Unreal Tournament links to OldUnreal for downloads: https://www.epicgames.com/unrealtournament By default, this package will fetch that ISO from OldUnreal. It lacks the French, German, Italian, and Spanish sound files, as well as the wider French, Italian, and Korean text files, included in other physical editions. If you have these files and wish to use them or otherwise do not want to use OldUnreal's ISO, you also have the option to install from CD, DVD, or GOG instead. Note that the game can no longer be purchased from GOG or anywhere else. Epic even removed it from their own store. If the CD or DVD you are installing from lacks the Mega Pack content that is included in other editions, you must enable the megapack USE flag to download it.
