Please post hardware compatibility issues here

[Deuxsonic]

My video card is a 6800 Ultra ( im not sure but its the highest model in 6800 series) and I cant play higher than 1024x768 with 1 on models and textures.

Otherwise I get less than 24 FPS.

I have also 1 gig of Ram and a 2.7 Proc.


What the hell?

Welcome to the club. I have the exact same problem. Performance is horrendous in this beta even with the ISV hacks turned on and using the latest drivers.

Crashing during startup

I have been looking forward to this new release of Unreal Tournament for a long time just like every one else.

I am having an issue with the game, I'm not able to get past the initial startup plash image. Once I click on the icon to start the game I get the splash screen and game returns me back to my desktop. I have provided below the last 25 lines of my launch. log file.

******* Launch. log file
Critical: appError called:

******** END

listed below is the hardware configuration I'm currently running on, Please don laugh to hard I would hate to cause any problem for some in poor heath from laughing to hard.

Processor: AMD Athlon 2400+
Memory: 1Gig mem
video: Sapphire x1600 PRO Radeon (AGP - not PCI Express)
Motherboard: MSI K7N2 Delta L

As a side note: UT3 was working fine until I changed out the video to the X1600 from an FX5200.

This would conclude that the video card is the problem but not able to determine what the problem is so that I can correct it.

If I could get someone that might have an idea of the issue here would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know if this will help much or not, but I've uninstalled my Trend Antivirus and I seem to be able to play ok now... I installed Mcafee instead and not a crash yet...

Strange isnt it?

[Deuxsonic]

Strange isnt it?

Yes, and infuriating. I quit playing the beta because there's no way to tweak good performance out of it without turning off everything that would make the game worth playing.

Not Bad

running p4d 2.66 no oc nvidia 6800gt 256mb 1 gig dual channell ocz xp 32
when i turn post processing to intense my game freezes up to a crash and it rebboots my sys
when i turn it down a notch i runs all smooth even in mp

antialiasing and antistropic filtering in my nvidia contrl panel seem to have no effect

[Legendary_Lee]

I was playing online last nite and about 20 mins into the game in a teamdeathmatch the game crashed and gave me a black screen... I had to reboot my computer and it was back to normal. Is this a bug? Has this happened to anyone else too? Ive run it fine all other times.

My system specs:

Processor: Core 2 duo 2.4Ghz
Memory: 2GB of ram
video: geforce 8800GTS 640mb

[Legendary_Lee]

I have noticed after reading thru this thread, I noticed others were getting similar black screen that I got. One of the logs by GG-Xtreme showed had the same lines that I have saying:

Warning: USkeletalMeshComponent::InitArticulated : No PhysicsAsset defined for UTFrontEnd.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.UTCustomChar_P review_1.SkeletalMeshComponent_11 with skeletalmesh CH_IronGuard_Male.Mesh.SK_CH_IronGuard_MaleA

Does anyone know what that means?

Are you using the ISV hacks? Those typically fix crashes.

[madafaka]

you need to understand that when they use there test bed they may not see so many of these "bugs" and that they are testing the game under normal conditions, and some standard system they may have. but i think i remember them saying that they were launching the demo to get feedback on bugs so they know what to troubleshoot and fix. thats why its a beta demo. and not a finished promo demo.

I Think november release is too early view all the issues the game has.
By the way, errors are not justified by it being a beta, it is imperfect coding.
Beta does not imply buggy.

What are ISV hacks? Where can I get them? Thanks.

Problem:

The demo keeps minimising to the desktop. Clicking on its tab will restore the screen but after a second it drops back. This goes on for a few times, and then the game continues normally. However, if set to windowed mode it works fine.

Also, the graphics are set to 1680x1050, the menu is at this resolution but I don't think the game is. The video settings show 300x200 for video, and the graphics are very blocky.

My system settings are:

AMD 3000+ Single Core
1 GB DDR400 Ram (2x512)
Abit Kn8 Motherboard
Sapphire ATI x1300 with Catalyst 7.10 Drivers
Creative Soundblaster Live

I am also running a Dell widescreen at 1680x1050 resolution. This may be the problem, as I had the same issue with C&C3 until I reset the in-game resolution to 1680x1050.

Thanks

I thought so at one point but realised they now have logs and all they need about a good number of bugs. they certainly won't fix them all but certainly make it work on 99,5% of computers, the other 0,5% will wait for patches i guess.

I am more afraid about GOW...

[deadxatthexscene]

I have experienced some random crashing with no messages. Doesn't happen every time, but only SOMETIMES.

AMD ATHLON 64 X2 3600+(AM2)
BIOSTAR TF560 AM2+ VER. 1.0 with 08/01/2007 drivers
2GB G.Skill PC6400 DDR2
256MB ATI x1950 GT with 7.8 drivers, I just upgraded to 7.10 though and Haven't tried it.

Just throwing that out there, don't know if anyone else with a similar set up has experienced this.
