So, great news!
Not too long ago, the folks at OldUnreal announced in their Discord server that they got permission from Epic to distribute two particular links from archive.org to download Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament.
Now they’ve published installers for automating the installation process, as well as installing their patches on top of Unreal/UT.
The installers are available to download on the links down below:
Unreal Gold Installer: https://www.oldunreal.com/downloads/unreal/full-game-installers/
Unreal Tournament Installer: https://www.oldunreal.com/downloads/unrealtournament/full-game-installers/
These are Windows only, but Linux and macOS installers are also gonna be released sometime soon, it seems!
Enjoy!
I guess this game is now officially Abandonware, shame to see Epic neglect their legacy and what made them popular for the first time.
BTW if you have the game on Steam you can use Luxtorpeda to automatically obtain the newest oldUnreal binary files for Linux
Its a crying shame indeed, but at least they won’t prevent people from downloading the entire series from archive.org I guess?
What happened to UT4? Last I checked I couldn’t find a way to download it. Does it still exist? I miss that fast paced FPS MP.
It got delisted, alongside the rest of the Unreal/UT games.
There is a fan made installer and community patches available to download here though: https://ut4ever.org/
