Anyone up for a regular (monthly?) #FediverseFragNight in #UT99?

Anyone up for a regular (monthly?) #FediverseFragNight in #UT99? / #UnrealTournament reliving the good old days?
Feel free to share/boost!
Would be targeting a #Europe friendly time but I won't stop people based in other regions from joining though.
FYI, Unreal Tournament (and Unreal #UT2004) are available for free these days and there are simple all-in-one installers available for all platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS), modernizing many aspects of the game, thanks to #OldUnreal:

https://github.com/OldUnreal/FullGameInstallers@cryptgoat I've voted maybe... I would love to, but my schedule is complex, so I'm not sure if I'd be able to play regularly

Great! Installation is super-easy if you use this shell script installer: https://github.com/OldUnreal/FullGameInstallers/blob/master/Linux/install-ut99.shDon't forget to setup controls (no WASD by default), graphics on first launch.
Damn, that download takes a lot of time, i just get 2kb/s.
That's not only a nostalgic game but also a nostalgic data transferrate... -
@cryptgoat I might give it a shot.
Assuming I can get it to work on Linux. UT99, that is, I was never really into UT2k4. 
(The original Linux version by Loki stopped working for me a few years ago. Guess I’ll have to see if those OldUnreal versions are any good.)
I would actually also love to see the ut2k4 version back up there, spent many years playing it, at least until somewhere around 2017.

@qwc OldUnreal is preparing a release right now. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/12/unreal-tournament-2004-is-getting-revived-by-oldunreal-with-approval-from-epic-games/ @movq

@cryptgoat The plan is to try to set up the OldUnreal version at the weekend.

Indeed probably a bad mirror. Did the same just now, and it went through in a minute.
It starts beautifully, the only annoying thing is that the main menu scales with the resolution of the game, so when you say you want to play in 4k, then the menu is fuckin tiny...

(Didn’t know it would download the whole thing. I got my CDs ready!

https://github.com/OldUnreal/FullGameInstallers@cryptgoat What kind of anti-cheat stuff are you planning to set up? I tried some public servers and “ACE” kicks me off the server when using the Linux version, saying “Windows or Wine required”. 🫤
