Where goes some tweaks that worked for me:

If you tierd of the movie and to speed the UT boot:
Edit to your /unrealtournament/system/unrealtournament.ini file. In the first section of the file, replace LocalMap=CityIntro.unr with LocalMap=UT-Logo-Map.unr.


To improve D3D performance:
Hit the console and type preferences.
Locate the Display item and open it up.
ScreenFlash to False. Decals to False. Det NoDynamicLights to True. SlowVideoBuffering to False. Use Direct Draw to true. Use Direct Input to true
Then find Rendering, D3D and set these options:
VolumetricLighting to False. HighDetailActor to False. DettailTextures to False.

Thanks for the idea about the startup it helped.

The problem is D3D doesn't well on my PC so i use Open GL instead.
so if anyone else has tips for Open Gl i'd much appriciate it.

By the way my 3d card is 16mb.

Open gl on UT works really bad, even worst than D3D
Try to use D3D instead, go get the latest drivers etc.... http://www.drivershq.com/

I usually use D3D on other games but i've found that in UT the world gets painted with spider web like lines and with open GL that doesn't happen and plus i couldn't find the drivers at that site.
