Hello guys, my parents bought me a new laptop that came with Windows 8 preinstalled on it. I tried to install Unreal Tournament and the installation process was successful but when I started the game it was lagging so badly and I said to myself.. why not choose a different renderer, and so I did. Tried directx8-9 support and it did not lag but the quality was so bad I was forced to change the renderer again... Tried opengl and it did work but the quality was bad again. I disabled vsync so I'd not have that mouse swimming thingy.
Attention, when you buy a computer or a laptop, look first if it has drivers for vista or 7, in that case you can install a new fresh copy of an older version of windows... . I hope that helps somehow.

Tried that a month ago, still no luck. Maybe Windows 8/8.1 will kill old desktop apps and games.

8.1 is a stripped win7. Designed for tablets and lowered end craptops. See what version of directX you have. If it's lower then 11 then you need to go to microcrap and download ALL the updates. DOS command for checking it is dxdiag

Straycat, I've tried everything possible, I downloaded all DirectX updates to version 10.1 because my Graphics card cannot go further, I've tried every possible renderer and still the quality isn't good and the game freezes after a while of playing which is a bummer. For that PC that my parents bought me, there are no drivers for 7 or Vista. I'm still with my old one because of UT99. Anyways I came here to warn people about this.. Be careful when buying a new computer, look if it has drivers for 7 before you buy a machine with W8 preinstalled on it.

Sir, I tried the same Direct X 9 setting, it would just not work. Thank you though for the time to post this.
