So far I have noticed a very bizarre audio bug that causes my system to lock up, crash, BSOD, any random kind of negative thing. I have usually use what is called "matrix" on my z-5300 system and I have no problems in any other Unreal Engine game (gears of war and UT2K4 to be specific) ... and I wonder why UT2K4 runs so well on my system with ZERO problems but I have strange problems with UT3 I just don't get it.
Anyway when I turn off matrix mode I get no crashes while I am playing. Well at least I didn't the couple of times I tried and before it always crashed or acted up. But I was able to play two full TDM games for close to an hour and this was using the 169.09 beta drivers and even having SLI enabled (I don't think the engine utilizes SLI much though but at least it played smoothly at 1680x1050 with all the settings maxed out and even though these are just medium textures the kind of fps I was getting signifies that even with full hi res textures I should still be able to max the game out (not really worried about AA).
So yeah this is odd to me and I wondered if anyone else has discovered this or any other odd things? Like could my issue be tied to the fact the UT3 does not like cpus that have been OCed? Or anything that seems strange. For now though I am just going to be glad that I was able to play each game type and had a great time and I still can't wait for the retail version ... just hoping that it is more stable than the demo.
