"ut3.exe has problem and needs to close"

[MAshling]

I installed ut3 and was playing it for a couple of weeks then I got this message
"ut3.exe has problem and needs to close"
when loading.

I reinstalled ut3 but it still comes up with this message. Do you have any idea what the problem is?

I have the same problem.Although I've never been able to play the game. I tried to reinstall it but that didn't work, is there a patch needed to install or something like that?

I have had that problem a few times once I had avg anti virus installed was teh issue and the other couple times I just reloaded my video driver.

there have been 3 game patches released so far. soon to be (9 days) for the fourth patch plus bonus content.
i think updating/reinstalling the video drivers is what fixes it most of the time. i havent gotten that crash message recently at all. if anything it will alt-tab crash, mainly because ive already integrated my retail to steam and it hasnt been fully integrated with the patch thats coming out.

There's one thing that would have helped a lot of people: if the game showed the last lines of the log when it crashes.

My game just did and I just saw this junk on utgame\logs\launch.log:

Critical: appError called:
Critical: Assertion failed: GNovodexSDK [File:.\Src\UnPhysLevel.cpp] [Line: 1626]

Stack:

Address = 0xe8781b4c (filename not found)

I now have a clue that my problem is related with missing or damaged PhysX files.
