So I start up the game, the box saying "Gunreal" pops up for a few seconds and then... nothing. No error message, it doesn't start at all. Any solution to this?

Did you install the latest version, or an older one?

Also, are you using a Steam copy of UT2004? And are you on Windows or Mac?

i installed the latest version from the main site. I'm using the retail version of UT2k4 on a Windows.

Try this: go to your UT2004/Gunreal folder, and see if any of these files make the game launch:
Play.bat
Updater.exe

Also, make sure that you installed Gunreal in the right folders. (all the files should be in that same UT2004/Gunreal folder)

I tried using those files and they still don't work, I'm pretty sure I have all the files in the right folder too

No idea, then. Can you post your UT2004.log files? They are in:
ut2004/system/ut2004.log
ut2004/gunreal/system/gunreal.log

If one of them isn't present, just ignore it.

Quite interesting...

Try removing your user.ini file from UT2004/System, and also your gunrealuser.ini from UT2004/Gunreal/System. (don't delete them, just move them somewhere) Then boot up UT2004 once (no mods), close it, and try Gunreal again...

If it works after that, it means one of those files was messed up (maybe by another mod or something). If it doesn't, can you send the first 10 lines of UT2004/System/defuser.ini and UT2004/Gunreal/System/defuser.ini?

I did that and it started successfully. I'm not sure if it'll be like that forever though. Thanks for your help though!
