Game always crashes before showing server list

[gourry]

Hello,
some months passed since I last played with UT3, but everything worked fine on my PC (apart from the OpenAL bug as I have an X-FI with X-RAM).

Anyway, I just upgraded to version 2.0 and I found that now the game crashes each time I click on the multiplayer item in the menu.
The hardware is the same, and I didn't reinstalled windows in the meantime.

I upgraded my video card and audio card drivers to the last version, but nothing was resolved. Currently I have disabled X-RAM with the registry key, but I don't think this issue is related to the sound card.

On the log, I see the following lines:

Log: FSTUNClient starting test 2...
Log: FSTUNClient test timeout, NAT is strict.
Critical: appError called:
Critical: SECURE CRT: Invalid parameter detected.
Critical: Windows GetLastError: Operazione completata. (0)
Log: === Critical error: ===
SECURE CRT: Invalid parameter detected.

RaiseException() Address = 0x7c812aeb (filename not found) 
CxxThrowException() Address = 0x78158e89 (filename not found) 
Address = 0xbb4c52   (filename not found) 
Address = 0xe8781b4c (filename not found)

Googling around I find a similar error associated to https connections, but nothing related to Unreal Tournament 3.

Has anybody som ideas on what causes the crash?

The complete log follows:
