hey all,

I have a big problem whith my UT. Crying or Very sad

hope someone can help me.

Sinds a week or 2 my UT crash when i play ut. If i connect to mayhem i can play for a little while and then my ut freezzzzz.... collors are very bright after the crash... music keeps on playing and most of the time i can still see the chat.

After a full reinstall off UT it went great for 1 day but now i have the same shit again..

hope someone had the problem in the past and give me the golden tip....

After your reinstall did you copy the textures/maps etc back into your UT folders?

If you did it could be that. If not, it could be your drivers. Try all graphics/chipset/directx drivers and see if that works.

Is it only UT? or other games as well (are there any others?)

You could also try using opengl instead of direct3d (or visa versa)

Have you put anything else on lately? like a firewall? or similar

Sounds like it might be your directx then.

Try installing directx 9 and see if that helps.

Or it could be an option in your ini that youve enabled for directx and not opengl.

you could try turning everything down in directx all decals and effects off and see how that runs.

Indeed, possible that it's directx (you could try installing the latest (beta) openGL drivers for UT.. it might fix that..

And also it is not impossible that your computer has been set too high (overclocking, overheating?)

BTW Kokkie arent you running some application which could sometimes demand "on-the-top" position? I had this prob with Trillian, it was opening new window which was set to be on the top so it tried to minimize UT and UT always crashed very strange way.... it could be i.e. Firewall warning, or antivirus message or something like that....
