ut3.exe has encountered an error

[Gibson5469]

I tried to install ut3 for the 5th time. Did a "clean boot" by using msconfig and disabling everything but system services. Copied the files on the DVD to my HD and installed from there.

Installation completes, microsoft firewall pops up asking if i want to unblock or keep blocking ut3. I click unblock, error messages saying ut3.exe has encountered an error pop up, close those, then the installation complete screen pops up. I select "play ut3" then a window comes up saying my user ini is out of date, and I should update it. Select update, then a window saying "UT3.exe has ecountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience" comes up.

Any ideas?

Same here but whenever I start the game, the usual crash bug from the demo. It feels like it's just a 6gb beta

I was hoping that the full game get rid of this bug but it didn't.

now that the packaging is open, i can't even return it.

Looks like Epic has some patching to do.

I'd say SOME serious patching...
But its seems people get that error left and right unfortunatly with such a good game.

[heatherrr]

well i would like it fixed asap so we can friggin play it already

i go back to school this weekend. only having a laptop means no ut3 until i come home for xmas. bummer.

i even went out and bought 2 copies today, so my brother and i could both play (plus i have no problem supporting epic if the game is as good as 2k4 or 2k3. I'm glad I only opened one of the games and not both.

they can give you store credit if you have a receipt

that's good to know. i guess i can put the giftcard away until a *working* version of UT3 hits stores

[heatherrr]

they should of just released it for ps3 or 360 first that way there wouldnt be many bugs and people could play
