Unreal Development Kit: Readme: Content
This Readme file contains detailed information and troubleshooting tips for the Unreal Development Kit
(UDK). You can find more information at
http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/DevelopmentKitBuildUpgradeNotes.html
UDK includes upgrades made to Unreal Engine 3 following the release of Unreal Tournament 3.
This version of UDK is early. The runtime is an active work in progress that will have frequent updates
and releases.
Content
Minimum:
Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista
2.0+ GHz processor
2 GB system RAM
SM3-compatible video card
3 GB free hard drive space
The UDK will install .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 if you don't already have it. This will require an
internet connection.
B. Installation
Run the UDK installer (UDKInstall.exe).
This will install UDK to a new folder based on the release date of this version. This is to make sure this
version doesn't use any old Epic-provided content. However, you should be able to open old user-created
content in the new version of the editor.
The UDK editor can then be run from the Programs menu.

2 - On Windows Vista 64 and drivers older than 195.27 some 6 and 7 series NVIDIA cards have issues
with intermittent hangs during gameplay. These can be avoided by running in shader model 2 mode by
appending " -sm2" to your game shortcut.
3 - On Windows Vista 64 some 6 series NVIDIA cards are experiencing a severe drop in performance
after playing the UDK a few times. NVIDIA is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
If you do experience audio crashes, try running without sound by appending " -nosound" to the UDK
editor shortcut.
