Unreal tournament 2004 server details

Gaming 🎮
1

I decided to do it: I want to support Unreal Tournament 2004 being viable in 2026 after the OldUnreal re-release, so I’m hosting low-ping servers for US players!
To get the game/community patches: https://oldunreal.com/ ← grab from there.
This installer does not seem to grab the map packs, so make sure you grab the Community Map Packs Vol. 1-4 from somewhere like here before trying to join! Downloading through game servers is always a bad time.

Server 1:

  • Game Mode: CTF
  • Server IP: ut2004://ut.instagib.gg:7777

Server 2:

  • Game Mode: ONS
  • Server IP: ut2004://ut2.instagib.gg:7777

Server 3:

  • Game Mode: DM
  • Server IP: ut2004://ut3.instagib.gg:7777

Server 4/backup:

  • Game Mode: Instagib/General
  • Server IP: ut2004://ut.pixeldragyn.com:7777

Simply go to the server browser, right-click, “Open IP” then paste that in. You can Add to Favorites from the in-game menu once you’ve joined.

Frag out and enjoy.

I love it. Don’t know if I will play, because of time restraints and lack of reflexes (I mostly play turn-based tactics these days).

But back in the day you wouldn’t have a good time with software rendering. IIRC UT2004 required at least a Geforce4 MX to hit 30-40+ FPS.

UPDATE! We now have a good stack of servers going.
If there’s interest long-term, I’d like to fire up some in other regions, but we’ll go with this for now.
