Get Unreal Tournament For Free
Posted: Thu Jun 15, 2006 1:48 am
Epic screwed up and made it possible to get UT99 for free legally. While I am sure that at the time they were unhappy about this, it is possible. I am sure they don't give a shit about it now though.
What happened was they put out a demo version of the game. Then they put out a patch for the full game. If you use the full game patch on the demo, it will work and turn the demo into a full version of the game. It will be lacking in some maps, etc, but it will work just fine for online play. you will just have a lot to download your first visit to a few servers.
Here is what you do. First download and install the demo (but don't run it):
UT99 Demo
Then download the upgrade patch and apply it to the demo:
UT99 Version 4.36 Patch
After this is done, fire up the game and connect to one of our UT99 servers. You should be all set.
If this doesn't work for you, please let us know. However, I have already had reports that it does work, so make sure you are doing this right first.

P.S. This only works with the Windows version of the game. Mac and Linux users will have to install the full version to play online.
