Turn on vblank in your gfx drivers or in unrealtournament.ini

you mean Vsync??? if i do that it smooths out but only limits my frames per second to my refresh rate of 60

then change your refresh rate?

Well that's exactly the function of Vsync. Limiting the fps to your refresh rate.
But where's the problem?
constant 60fps should be enough to play smoothly.

If you want more, you can do what Headcase mentioned.
Most LCD displays are able to run refreshrates up to 75, resulting in a different picture quality (worser, but sometimes even better).

its been covered loads of times us search ffs

 

[Humph]

vsync should work, or you can type preferences into the console. Somewhere under the rendering options you can set an FPS limit.

only if you're using a custom d3d8 or opengl driver.

You can set a minimum fps rate but no maximum under D3D. This is the same problem I have - UT zooming around offline. Dunno why the online rate is allowed to be set by the server while offline is fucked.
