Freezing in-game to black screen

As I am playing (Runs great-Medium settings at 30-60fps) minutes into the game it freezes with sound looping and seconds later the monitor shuts off and I am forced to reboot.

Windows XP Home + SP2
MSI Radeon X1900xt
Catalyst 7.10
1280x1024@60hz
AMD Athlon64 3800+ 2.4GHz s939
1GB Corsair DDR400

Notes:
Tried .ini to True; AMD hotfix, no sound acceleration -- did not work
VGA, CPU, soundcard, monitor, motherboard, bios, updated w/ latest drivers
Bioshock (UE3) works
System temps are normal
No overclocking at all
Other games that freeze similarly - Source engine; Serious Sam 2; Battlefield 2/2142
To launch game must Rclick--run as user--(current user) [same w/ Bioshock and ETQW]
emailed logs.
EDIT: installed OpenAL (though its not used -- SB Live! 24-bit doesn't have it) did not help.

[Heliox]

madmossy, you can see my system spec in my signature,
I can confirm that disabling OpenAl in the audio setting WILL make the game work without crashes. SO yes to confirm again, Creative drivers are not supporting OpenAL or what ever it could be at the moment, though our card ( SB X-Fi extremegamer) is supposed to support OpenAL.

This is too bad, The OpenAL really gives awesome sound experience and actually boosts the fps a little.

Hopefully, new drivers will fix this..

Game is incompatible with certain resolutions, to play it properly i had to use window mode (reminds me of crysis beta, they had same issue) also the postprocessing had to change to mute else vCTF wouldnt work.

Intel Quad Core Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz
2Gb G.Skill PC10000
Saphire ATI HD2900XT 512Mb
Windows Vista 32Bits

This seems to be an issue with the ATI HD 2900 XT cards. UT3 runs BEAUTIFULLY as long as it's in a window, but crashes the whole computer after a while if it's in full screen. I also had to turn off post processing just because it looks SO BAD at ANY resolution!

I have the latest drivers...Except that the drivers are obviously screwed up, because ever since I installed the UT3 demo, almost every game crashes in full screen after a while. I'm still trying to fix my drivers (just uninstalling and reinstalling isn't working)

I have no idea if this game even has anything to do with it. It's just an odd cooincidence that I suddenly developed these problems exactly the day I installed this demo.

[trauma1337]

I can't stay logged into my UT3 profile longer than 1 map on any server or instant action. I play, then when the map ends i get logged out of my UT3 profile. I have to then relogin to the profile and rejoin the server or restart the instant action map. Is there any fix for this game hindering problem?

[kats]

game doesnt even launch. I get the "UT3demo.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." error

[fishwish]

Hooray following the advice further back about changing the ini file setting to true and switchin off the avg worked and I can now play the demo.The nerd lives only to die ut 3 rocks I love it, now how do I get it to look pretty instead of like I just drank to much thanks guys..

[madmossy]

still no help?

geforce 4mx is below minimum specs, which would most likely be the cause of why the game isnt starting for you mate.

Game requires minimum Shader Model 2.0 which unfortunately the Geforce MX series does not support.

[CaptainZap]

Works great Epic! I can't believe it runs so well on my old system!!

My System Specs:

WinXp Pro
Athlon Xp 2700+
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro
1GB DDR RAM
Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard


Good job guys!

[xPreatorianx]

still no help?

Um it says your problem is that you dont have atleast shader model 2.0 what graphics card are u running because i doubt you have that crappy of a card to not have shader model 2.0. It might be a bug or UT3 does not req your card.


BTW i have the kernal32 error here is my log

The demo runs perfectly for me unless I use the OpenAL option. Whenever I turn that on, it crashes. MY soundcard is a creative labs x-fi fatal1ty. This is the only time UT3 will crash on me.

My other specs are 2x8800 GTX 768mgb cards in SLI, 4 gigs of ram, windows XP 32-bit, Intel quad core 2.93ghz overclocked to 3.47ghz.

Can anyone help me to get my problem fixed? What should i do is there a way to enable OpenGL? I wanna run this game!!!!

OpenGL? If you're not talking about OpenAL, the UT3 Demo does not have OpenGL support.

Okey, i just played for 1,5 h with the Audio setting - OpenAl to be activated without any crashes!

What I did?
I downloaded this
http://developer.creative.com/articl...&top=38&aid=46
on the bottom of the page u can see oalinst.exe attached.

It should work for all Creative X-Fi soundcards.
This enables OpenAl support in the game to work.

Let me know if it still doesent help, beause then i need to tell my friend who works in creative
