ut3.exe has encountered an error

[Gibson5469]

tried for the last time, clean boot, delete temp files, made sure all registry entry's for ut3 were deleted, blah blah blah...

again "ut3.exe has encountered a problem" "update ini file". and nothing..

Epic - thank you for a game that won't even start, and if you happen to be lucky enough to have it start, it crashes. Worst $50 i've spent all year.

[Duvina]

I'm having this same problem, I hope they get a bug fix soon

Hello

Works great for me what are your specs and operating system. Or could be directx drivers too i guess, if don't have latest directx get them.Could be wrong though. Your specs could reveal something also, so please list them.

[Duvina]

It's supposed to run a nivida 6600

Windows XP Pro sp2
AMD Athlon 64 Prosessor 3000+
Abit Fatality AN8 SLI
1.0 Gig Mushkin DDR
Nivida 6600
Seagate 7200 sata

[slinky3761]

Hello

Yeah sorry i changed my post, just before you posted back. Not an expert just trying to help and since it works on mine thought maybe you are missing something.

[Duvina]

No problem, I'm toying with the idea that it's something to do with AVG but I really don't want to uninstall my AVG. Also I have the lastest nividia drivers.

[slinky3761]

Hello

Do you have latest direct x drivers though. My freind had alot of trouble with bioshock with AVG. Maybe it is that. if not try latest direct x drivers.

[Duvina]

actually I think it installed directx on top of another directx if I'm reading the directx log file right and any time direct x does that it gets hosed

[SLGDon]

.

same problem for a few of my clan members

Ima install vista on theirs to see if that makes any difference=(



updated every driver
latest directx
cleaned registry
reinstalled windows


....


nothing


diff computers


....

....


nothing=(

[Gibson5469]

Computer specs shouldn't really affect the game *opening*, freezing/crashing would indicate a problem there. I just don't get it.

[heatherrr]

all my specs are right on my computer with vista but i still have the "ut3.exe is not working" no avg installed. tried it on an xp same thing this time it showed up after restart. read the minimal requirments on the box and we have everything the only thing is our processer is .2 less than 2.0 but our other computer has 2.0 or higher and it said "ut3.exe is not responding"

[Duvina]

Alright I updated my sound drivers, re updated my nvidia drivers and reinstalled directx now I try to load and it goes into a black screen never to recover, here is the lastest log file, which is different then the first one

"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."

Same exact problem here.. we bought 2 copies, it works on one system, but not on the other system, and both are runnign the newest ati video drivers released today, and ati x1950 pro video cards.

The wife's system opens a full black screen, something doesn't work properly, and then that screen minimizes on the desktop, and we get that windows encounter error popup.

Still haven't seen anyone post a fix for this yet.

I tried moving my own documents/game ini files over to her system, but that didn't work, and also tried all the various shortcut options as well, and none helped.

Needless to say, she's ******...LOL! Sure glad we just took a chance and shelled out $100 for two copies!

I doubt epic will even have anyone working at all tomorrow, so I'm hoping we see a weekend patch, or at least some suggested fixes by then.
