Did you even look in the Troubleshooting & Technology forum? This thread should be in there aswell.

as a matter of fact I did - no reason for you to get snide with me for - posting in the wrong place

Hi. I'm having the same problem. THe splash screen comes up and then nothing. My processor activity stays pegged at 100%.

If I go into the install folder and launch the game via the unreal front end, it boots, but it is not playable. No sound and the video extends beyond the screen. Plus, if I try to change any of the video settings, the game crashes and closes. I too have read the forum and tried all the fixes and nothing.

Re-install it if you haven't already, a file might have been copied incorrectly when installing

[Dragoon_jefy]

Try this..

Go into control panel

Programs and Features..

Find something called "Host OpenAL..."

Uninstall it!

Enjoy!

[Bonton]

I have re installed 3 times now to no avail.
I dont seem to have anything called programs and features in my control panel, and could not find Host OpenAL in the add and remove programs section to uninstall.
Sooooooooo......

well I disabled my sound card and got to see the game at least - now to figure out how to hear those poor guys when they die =)..

Do you have an xfi with x ram? If so I think you have to disable open al for the game to work with sound.
