UT3 Crashing on load?

mikeyp · 31 Dec 2007 at 10:39

I've looked everywhere and i can't find a cure for my UT3 crashing as the splash screen appears...

"UT3.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close...."
Error sig. "app name. UT3 App ver. 0.0.0.0. mod name. Kernell32.dll
mod ver. 5.1.2600.2180 offset. 0001eb33

I've updated to 1.1, updated my ati drivers and DX.. i can find any fix??

It worked when i installed it a few days ago..

Anyone????

From the Epic Forums:

Here are some options you might try:

Edit the UTEngine.ini which can be found in My Documents\MyGames\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config

For NVIDIA cards:
[Engine.ISVHacks]
UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=True

For ATI cards:
[Engine.ISVHacks]
DisableATITextureFilterOptimizationChecks=False

...and then...

[Engine.ISVHacks]
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=True
PumpWindowMessagesWhenRenderThreadStalled=True

[SystemSettings]
OnlyStreamInTextures=True

Let us know if that works.

Also, if you still have problems, try the other tweaks in my thread, listed in my sig below. In particular, read the opening post thoroughly, looking for the specific problems you are having, and the solutions found there, so far.

(To be clear, do NOT edit anything in Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config)

Have the issues only started since you updated to version 1.1? I am having issues with it crashing at random points during the game and seems to have become a lot more frequent since i patched it.
