Anyone know where I can download a newer version of the Ultra Utility for windows 8? The old Beta 16 version doesn't work with it on my computer. GAWD I miss windows XP so much.

Did you run it in compatibility mode?

Edit: Ew, windows 8

Ew, windows 8

[Lurch]

Idk what compatibility mode is.

[Falcon]

Right-click on it, click properties. Click on the compatibility tab, and you have the option to run it as if it were on a different operating system.

[Lurch]

Now THAT was easy. lol Now to try it in game. Many thanks.

[Lurch]

Nope. still can't minimize to go to desktop.

[Falcon]

When you're in game do !about and see if it pulls up the normal message in your chat.

Did you try the newer version?

[Lurch]

k I'll try !about. I didn't know of a newer version no.

[Lurch]

!about no workey either.

Are you using steam to run JKA?

[Lurch]

No I don't have steam. I have the original game discs.

[Raz0r]

What do you specifically need UU for? There may be alternatives available if you can't get it working after all.

[Lurch]

To minimize the game while IN game and go to desktop without having to always leave the game and come back again.
I tried the Q3 minimizer. It didn't work so I deleted it.

Set custom resolution in the base cfg file to whatever your desktop res is and then play in windowed mode

[Berserker]

Or openjk which lets you alt+tab or q3e minimizer...

[Raz0r]

^ Yeah, definitely use OpenJK. You can switch from fullscreen mode with alt+tab or use /minimize

Could you please upload your jamp.exe ? pleaaaaase we need it to get UU work

[Yato]

I don't think updating jamp.exe would make any difference for UU, it just how you enter the game and how's the systems works, it have nothing to do with an utility.

[Sifodias]

I read many times that replacing the jamp does the trick

[Yato]

I read many times that replacing the jamp does the trick

But will that really works for Lurch ? He use Window 8. I am not sure if that would do a tricks, I know nothing about Window 8.

[Sifodias]

Lurch did you try to update to 8.1 ?

[Lurch]

I have windows 8.1 I just call it 8. maybe what I'll do it take my computer in to a tech and have him totally remove windows 8.1 and install windows XP which is what I was good with in the first place. IDC what Bill Gates and Microsoft have to say about it. lol.

[Falcon]

I believe Microsoft is still offering free copies of Windows 10. Maybe try upgrading to that?

I would advise against XP. Microsoft stop releasing updates to that OS last year. Major security risk.

oh yeah right ! Since you're under windows 8 you can upgrade to 10 for free
