This might seem elementary but, I asked this same question a few days ago at the Unrealplayground forum and nobody answered it. So I'll try here. Where do the UT levels that I download and play in on-line go to? Is it a temporary file or something? I ask because I recently encountered trouble going on-line play, on levels I had already downloaded. A message even appeared that I needed the disk in order to play! That's never happened before. Besides, you don't need the CD in the machine to,play on-line or not! So what I want to do completely remove Unreal Tournament from my troubled pc ( could be a file problem and or other things ) and transfer all the UT files from my good pc to the troubled one if I decide to reformat. BTW, how is the actual transfer from CD to pc done after it's burned on a CD? I know it sounds simple but, I had problems with this last time I tried. So I thought I'd ask this time, just to keep things simple. My burner uses Nero 5.0. My good system is a Duron 1.3, 30 Gig HD, Pony Geforce3 TI 200, 656mb ram WinXP pro. The troubled pc that I might reformat ( due to other problems I did not list is ) AMD 1700XP, 60Gig HD, MSI Geforce3 TI 200, 640 DDR 2100 ram, WinXP pro. Thanks for listening.:t

Did you download the files outside of the game or in the game? If you download in the game, they are usually delivered directly to the game folder. If you downloaded them separately and installed them, they could go anywhere. It usually depends on where your Registry says that Program files go. Standard is C:\Program Files. You can change that. I have my games on my G drive and I have to pay close attemtion when installing game patches. Most default to C:\Program files, but some installers check in the Registry before unzipping. A true program installer unzips files to the system Temp folder and installs them from there.

When you burn a pile of files to a CD, it's a simple file transfer coming off. You put them where you want them. A copy of a program CD will follow the Registry setting for the Program Files folder.

They're usually in the Maps sub-folder in your UT folder.
