Got the June edition of MaxPC, found these under their review of UT2k4 (they gave it a 9 :jammin: )
UT2K4 is highly customizable. You can make lots of tweaks and hacks to adjust performance, graphics, and unlock secret effects. To use these tech tips, to to C:\UT2004\System\UT2004.ini and open the file in Notepad. You should make a backup of this file as well, just in case.
Use more of your System memory
Find "CacheSizeMegs=32" and change the number to whatever amount of system memory you'd like the game to use. As a general rule, set it to about 200MB less than your total because you need some memory to run your OS. The result will be faster level loading times.
Keep Frames Up
Locate "MinDesiredFraameRate=35.000000" and input your minimum desired frame rate. The game will automatically toggle the visual eye candy to match the number you select.
Increase your net Speed
The default setting of 'configuredInternetSpeed=10,000" means you download info at 10Kb/s, but for LAN play, or if you have a T1 connection, set the number to about 20,000. Modem users should set it to about 5,000.
Play your own Music
Hit F11 in-game to open the included MP3 player. Select which files you want to hear and commence rocking. (Does NOT work with VBR (Variable BitRate) MP3 Files.)
Select Alternate Horn Sounds
Every vehicle has a funny, alternate horn. To enable it, press "~" to open the console and type "set input X playvehicle horn 1" where X can be any key. Once in a vehicle, press X to hear the funny horn.
That might just be my longest post ever. :P
