Vehicle CTF Not Working?

[redterror117]

Vehicle CTF was working fine for most of yesterday before only certain maps started to crash (being booted out to the desktop with the error "UT3.exe has stopped working")
Unfortunately today, none of the maps in Vehicle CTF will run. Every other gametype works just fine.

I'm not a real technological person, so I'm not exactly sure where to begin. However I was able to grab the error data from the window (though I'm not sure if any of it will be useful):

on the try with another map, i got the same error, but with different information:

I also received another error stating:
Couldn't find file for package WH40kPack requested by async loading code.

RaiseException() Address = 0x7714b09e (filename not found) [in C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll]
CxxThrowException() Address = 0x72888e89 (filename not found) [in C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a 1e18e3b_8.0.50727.3053_none_d08d7bba442a9b36\MSVCR 80.dll]
Address = 0xb27972 (filename not found) [in C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe]

with the above information, does this mean that I have to replace kernel32.dll, and remove the WH40kPack (if so, then how)?

How long had UT3 worked fine before?
What patch is your game?
Have you updated your drivers?
What are your computer specs? (processor, video card, amount of RAM, and what OS?)

[redterror117]

Originally had UT3 installed on the same machine (Vista 32 bit) last year, and a few months ago i had to reformat. Just last week I put it on and everything worked fine. But a few days ago the game started lagging really badly in Vehicle CTF, and after i had to terminate the program with Task Manager, three of the maps stopped working in that category, and when i tried today none of them would work.
Not sure what the version is, because I'm not sure how exactly to check (in game or in the files?)
drivers have all been updated (not sure if drivers would be the issue, because otherwise wouldn't the other gametypes not work as well?)
computer specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
RAM: 2064 MB
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit

all of the specs were the same as the first time I had it installed.

Get patch 2.0 here: http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=663720

If that doesn't work we can go from there.

the patch appears to have fixed the crashing, but my online account no longer works with the update

edit: nevermind. Instant Action stopped working altogether (none of the maps will load regardless of mutators, options or bots).

edit again: got it working. deleted the config files in My Documents and let the game rewrite them.
