Firstly, my systems specs:
OS: Vista premium (32- bit)
4 Gig RAM
1TB of hard-drive space
Graphics Card: GeForce 9800 GTX+ (512MB DDR3, PCI-E 2.0, EVGA) with latest drivers (181.22)
Latest UT3 version with latest Patch (patch 3.somthing)
My PC is brand new
My problem:
My UT3 crashes, but only in specific areas of specific maps. One such example is Deck. in this map the crash occurs as I approach the lower level teleporter which leads to the Redeemer (or at least Im guesing this is where it leads as this is the case in previous UTs that have this map). When the crash occurs I get an error message saying that the UT3 platform has stopped working and it will close the program and notify me of any solutions (which it never does).
Things I have tried:
Upon reading forums I have tried some things. I have tried switching the OpenAL thing on and off and downloading the drivers for this function. As previously stated I tried downloading the latest patch. I have also tried removing my Graphics Card drivers and running a Driver Cleaner.
All these things have had no impact.
Possible related issues:
As I have also previously stated, my PC is brand new. However, I get the same error message when I try to log in to Windows Live messenger. I get the message and it dosent allow me to log in with any account (friend has also tried). In this case, a possible solution solution is found by Vista. This then directs me to install the latest drivers for my graphics card which I have done (again, previously stated). The problem remains.
It also randomly happens with Internet Explorer, though this hasent actually happened for a while.
I am also running another game that has higher specs and it is running without a hitch.
Please help me. I would be most greafull for your time and effort.
