Unreal Tournament is an arena first-person shooter first published in 1999, retrospectively the game is known as UT99 to differentiate it from its sequels. UT is an arena first-person shooter, with head-to-head multiplayer deathmatches being the primary focus of the game. “Mutators” are available which drastically alter gameplay aspects, such as “InstaGib”, the use of which makes players compete with instant-kill weapons instead of the normal ones.

In 2019, community group OldUnreal got the approval from creator Epic Games to developer new community patches.

Custom configuration and Online Server Hosting.

Due to the shutdown of Gamespy in 2014 and the shutdown of the official master server by Epic in December 2022, a custom server config has been prepared. This custom server config includes community servers to allow for listing on updated and community clients. Included is listings and settings provided by OldUnreal and 333networks. Also this server file can be used as a base for a custom config while preserving the original default config as a fall back.
