I think this may work if you have an odd speed running


had the same problem, which is fixed by adding the text

-CPUSPEED=x

where x is the speed of your CPU, in megahertz, to the end of your Unreal 
Tournament shortcut. For example, if your PC runs at 2GHz, then your 
shortcut should read:

c:\unreal tournament\unrealtournament.exe -CPUSPEED=2000

if your CPU is a 2.8GHz model then it should be:

c:\unreal tournament\unrealtournament.exe -CPUSPEED=2800

etc (1 GHz = 1000 MHz, so 1.6 GHz = 1600 MHz, and so on, you have to enter 
the value as MHz). Of course, your installation path might vary.

There are other causes to UT running too fast (the PC's power saving 
settings and UT's own options, for example), but this is the most common, 
it's due to UT (which is an old program) misreading the speed of the CPU, so 
you have to tell it the correct speed yourself.

This will probably cure your problem, but if not, then post up your problem 
and details at:

(the best UT forum I know of) and they'll no doubt be able to help you.
