I've played UT99 a million times before as well as reinstalling the program hundreds of time and today was the first day I had any issues. I ran the install and it finished just as it normally does. This time however once I double click the UT icon it ran the intro screen but the ESC key isn't functioning at all to push me to the next stage which would be to set up you character etc. So all it does is hit the intro screen and once its done it says to hit ESC to get into the game but nope, the ESC key does nothing at it loops and the annoying cycle starts again. I miss this game and just want to get it up and running again, so any help would be just great.

Hey a new registered member here at HUTP Welcome to HUTP scrimm72 Oh, somebody should be coming along to help soon I would think. There are a lot of members who do not log in every day, but should spot this. Maybe just use this post as an "Introduction" thread and post about your issue with UT99 installing in one of our topic areas like our section called: Unreal Tournament 99/G.O.T.Y. - *PLAYER HOW-TO*hooksutplace.freeforums.net/board/8/ut99-player

scrimm72 Notice what Terraniux posted above! Also, did you install ut99 without running it (important), then add the 436 patch? If the above is no help, I bet that medor will be able to help. Or Doc Flay maybe?

Hi
To make it simple at the start.
1/Install an UT optimized for recent computers; the second part post is in English.
2/Go to your antivirus and firewall for allow UT . this needed for anti-cheat.
If you connect to a server with popup for install and anti-cheat ... click "install all" not download.
Oh and if you can't use ESC key in game just hit the "windows" key.

Yup, I was told by someone to modify the .ini file and it brought me to the screen before the setup for your toon etc. and thats it, it stops there and using the windows key did nothing. I've never had an issue running UT even in compatibility mode

First, I love your avatar - Max Headroom! Ok you say you modified your UT ini file. What was the modification? Could you have made a typo error? More importantly, make sure there are absolutely NO Spaces in front of or on the ends of any lines in the ini file!!! That is a Very common error with editing ini files.

Thank you. I have the whole Max Headroom series as I was 12 when it was on TV and I was obsessed with it. Aside from that I'm doing a clean install of the game... This was the pic someone sent me concerning this. They said to make sure these highlighted areas were typed out just as they appear there. Now this guy may have no clue but it got me to the big Unreal screen and then it crashed.
