Anyone know where I can download a newer version of the Ultra Utility for windows 8?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.

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.

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
