System crashes when playing some vids

[G-Mein]

Always when i start the campagne Mode, my system is crashing. I don´t get a bluescreen but the sound keeps stuttering and the whole System is hanging on.

System:
Athlon64 Venice 3,2
2 gig Ram
geforce 6600GT
Terratec Univers 7.1 or Creative Soundblaster 24bit Live
Win XP32

First i thought it would be because of the soundcards but i disabled each one and tried the other one alone and it also did not work.

I second that !

look for "game freezes on campaing start" we all have that kind of problem

Hi G-Mein. Does the third FAQ option help: http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=590086?

geforce 6600GT

Hmmm. 128MB or 256MB version?

Also, here are some options you might try:

Edit the UTEngine.ini which can be found in My Documents\MyGames\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config.

For older NVIDIA cards:
[Engine.ISVHacks]
UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=True
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=True
PumpWindowMessagesWhenRenderThreadStalled=True

...and then...

[SystemSettings]
OnlyStreamInTextures=True

Let us know if that works.

Also, if you still have problems, try the other tweaks in my thread, listed in my sig below.
