Hello,
I downloaded Urban Terror yesterday, but when I press on the button, it says it can't load the default.cfg. I already re-downloaded it but that didn't work. What should I do now? I have windows 7.
Thanks.

Uninstall the game. Run the installer, and make sure you install it to a folder in your my documents. This is where my game is installed to:
C:\Users\Hayden\Documents\UrT42\
Read on to find out why this works:
I have Windows 7 and it works fine. As a general rule, any games compatible with XP you will need to install to your my Documents. This is because Vista and 7 got this newfangled security crap that prevents programs from saving data into the program files folder. So, when urbanterror goes to C:\Program Files\UrbanTerror\q3ut4\ to find default.cfg, it's not there because 7 won't let UrT put default.cfg there.
C:\Users\Hayden\Documents\UrT42\

Sorry, Caps-Lock broke there for a minute.

Odd,there's no(apparent) problem dumping everything to C:\Program Files\UrbanTerror,with just the installer in My Documents.Although,this is on XP.

Windows 7 : FPS / Write Errors Fix
As you may or may not know, Windows 7 has a different default security policy, similar in kind to that of Unix operating systems. When you install urban terror you will probably do so to...
C:\\Program Files x86\\Urban Terror\\
When you run Urban Terror it does NOT have access to write to this location. This means that on your q3console and q3config files that are located here can not be created. This has cause lag to many players using windows 7.
To fix this all you have to do is allow your user the ability to write to this directory.

the default.cfg is in one of the zpaks, can you look through the "q3ut4" folder under the Urban Terror directory and list the files there that start with "zpak" ?
also try what they said about installing it into a folder other than the "Program Files" one :)

try the full download: http://download.urba...42_full_009.zip
The updater/installer does not work properly.
Unzip the UrbanTerror42_full_009.zip to C:\Games\UrT42 and try to run UrT.
