I installed UT2K3 and it worked fine the first time a played it. Then I shut down my computer and went to work. Now everytime I start up my computer and put the CD 1 into my drive the play menu pops up, but thwn it hit play the menu disappeares and it doesnt do anything. I used Ctrl+Alt+Delete to check the on the program and it say's that the file is running, but the game never loads up. I have the WinXP with all the latest drivers. Please help me!

get the 2225 patch from www.unrealtournament2003.com
and in your ut2003\system folder ,the UT2003 aplication
right click and drag it to desktop and create a shortcut
start the game from there

You can download the patch from here too.

The patch will remove the cd-check so you don´t need to have the cd in your cd-rom.

Thx for the patch info guys, it seemed to work fine but now there's somethin else goin on...

Now the program starts, but I keep getting this message:

UT2003.exe has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.


AppName: ut2003.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: engine.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000e280c

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I have Xp Home, and that's exactly whats happenin to me.
If someone knows how to fix this we'd really appreciate it.

Xp Sucks!!!

Good news...I think I found a temprary solution. Run the 2225 patch mentioned earlier in the thread, and then try running UT2K3. This has worked for me, I just run the patch, then the game. ^^

Xp Sucks!!!

[legacy-KoolieZ[PQ3]]

Yeah, Knew that already. *note the shortcut to a self extracting zip called UT2k3 fix* thats a shortcut to run the patch

However it is rather annoying to have to run the patch everytime i wanna play the game..

What are your system specs? is there any hardware that matches mine?

Were hoping for software problem, not hardware...
