Im getting a DEP (data execution prevention) which shuts the game down at the splash screen more often than not, ive tryed to allow ut access without this enabled but windows says that i need to have this on for this application.

Using Vista x86 with all latest updates.
c2d E6600 2.4 ghz
7600gt with latest nvidia drivers
2 gig 800mhz ram

do u need any log or anything?

edit here is the log ... at the very end really is where the log stops hmm

For anyone who suspects audio problems: The latest drivers might also have the same problems. One way you can isolate the audio driver is to temporarily turn off hardware acceleration: Go to control panel->sound->Speaker settings->advanced->performance-> and turn hardware acceleration all the way down, then apply settings and restart the demo.

[DanielW]

Please don't post your logs directly into the thread if you can help it, otherwise it will become unreadable. It's better if you can link to it.

Edit: Better yet, wrap it in code /code (with square brackets around each)

I started playing the demo on almost the lowest possible settings. The first game went fine but right before the end of the first game the demo crashed. I got back to my desktop with my resolution locked at 800*600 and 4 bit color depth. Gonna try playing again. I have had a crashing problem before with Bioshock but that was a different error. Hope this helps.

For anyone who is getting this crash:
"Detected negative delta time - on AMD systems please install http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html\par"

Be sure to restart your computer after installing and before running the demo.

I tried this, didn't help.

I disabled my X-Fi... still crashed after the intel splash video. Game wouldn't start at all with hardware acceleration set at lowest/off setting - froze up at the logo on the desktop in that case.

[GreyCobra]

Don't think X-Fi is the problem. Same thing happens regardless to me.
Also, If I'm really quick in the menu, I can manage to load a game. It crashes really soon after starting it though.

First; Can't connect to any servers in UT3 anymore (No firewalls on, no etc...etc...)

And for the common problem of "Hitches" for nVidia series 6 & 7 users (im using a serie 7)... In my UTGame/Config folder there's no "UTEngine.ini" file.

[benoyd]

Benoyd, it looks like you need to install the AMD hotfix (called AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver Version 1.3.2.0053) on this page:

http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/..._13118,00.html

Could you try installing that? It should have come with the demo, I'll double check.

No it didn't install the AMD Fix however, it works like a charm now. I also updated to the latest Nvidia drives while I was at it. Thanks for the support

[Dpa]

The previous shadingondemand fix worked for me, thanks, enjoying this game immensely now!

Hi,

Hi clik on ut3démo and have this message :

"Error reading setup initialization setup"

I can't install !

Xp sp2
intel 2.4 monocore
1g ram 2700
nvidia 7900gs

Drivers and Xp are update.

[snT]

Hello I also have huge frame problems when I use SLI mode, anyway if I use single Card it works.

Config:

intel 6850 dual core
2048 ram
2x 8800 ultra

thanks

btw: the demo rocks!

[karmatized]

snt someone pointed me in the dirrection for the sli fix, rename your utdemo exe file to bioshock.exe

something your nvidia profile already has good settings for.

i did that and the sli works perfect now
