UDK has bluescreened me twice

[Demruth]

Hey guys,

So, this seems random, but here's the full report anyway. No idea how much of the following information is even useful.

1. A description of the issue

Editor one time, game another. Completely random occurrences. It is not consistent at all. One time I was running around in the game and went to look at a portal and it crashed, the other time I was just trying to play the game in the editor. In either case, I've done lots of opening the game, playing, etc. It's just randomly bluescreened me twice.


2. Your OS information

Windows XP, Service Pack 2.

3. Your PC specs (you can get this information by going to Run... and type in dxdiag)

I also have the crashdumps that windows made if they're any help... and 38 other crashdumps from UDK from many other times the thing crashed on me if you want those as well.

Thanks,

This is most likely a video driver issue. What video card and drivers are you using? The UDK editor is far more stable than the UT3 editor - we rarely see any issues here at Epic.

Sec. Lemme find that out.

It's actually bluescreened me 5 times now, all at completely different random times.

Crashes I can deal with... Bluescreens... mreh.

I have no proof, but it seems like to me that if the engine wants to autosave and you haven't already saved a copy - then it doesn't know what to do and crashes. Try always making sure you have saved a copy at some prior point, or you could turn off auto save. (very very bottom right of the interface)

[Demruth]

Can't be that, because this is working with a port, not something new. It also involves running around in the actual game, not the editor, when it crashes as well. It's never when it's purely messing around in the editor. It's either when I'm in game, or getting into the game, it just randomly bluescreens.
