Unreal Tournament 3 Split Screen Guide

Intro: First off a very special thanks to 'HideInLight' for finding this in the first place. Now onto the basics, this guide will help you step by step into setting up working 2-4 player split screen for unreal tournament 3.

 

For this to work you will need multiple controllers, they have to be the same make as well. It is only guaranteed to work with xbox 360 controllers, this guide will help you get the right buttons configured.

GUIDE

Step 1: First off you need to open up your UTInput.ini file, this will be located in a different place depending on your operating system;

 

        Vista - C:\Users\Your Name\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config

        XP - C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config

 
Step 2: Now that you have found the file open it, you will see loads of text, but to save you time just copy all of the text found in the box below, and paste it over your UTInput.ini; (Basically you are removing what's already there, and replacing it with this.)

 

 

Step 3: Now all of the buttons are set up, and will work just like the image shows at the top of this page. But there is still one more thing before you can play split screen.

 

You need to open up UTGame.ini (It's in the same folder as the input file)

 

Once it's open look for the line that says;

StringData=(Tag="Splitscreen",DefaultValueIndex=0)

 

Now all you need to do is change the '0' to a '1'

 

Step 4: Now you can run the game, start an instant action game and when it starts the other player will be there. Have fun.
