UT Freezes?

I used to have the same problem way back, and ever since I switched back to 56K recently it's popped up again. UT just freezes for what seems like a long time. However I've found if I leave it alone for a few minutes and come back to it it'll be fine. Have you tried that? My guess is that in my case it happens whenever my modem stops recieving data (I have a crappy one). Might be the same problem in your case. iF it's not that then maybe the version you're using. Did you install the new patch recently?

Does this happen when you're on a server or just when UT is starting up normally?

If it's during offline, is it like when you first press escape to get to the main menu from the intro movie? I know that when I had a lot of UT stuff installed, it would take quite a while for it to load up. If it isn't that, then try getting the newest patch (432) here

That should help. If not...

the cure?

well i think i fixed the problem...
in my control panel->system->device manager there was a problem with one of my devices (the sound blaster emulator for my aureal sound card)
so i disabled it, rebooted and tryed out ut...
this far it has been working with no problems...thus far
we shall see though

i had the EXACT same problem and you are NOT gonna like the only way it can me fixed.

There is a Chip present on the K6-1,2,3 called ALI

Its seems to be discusted by TNT2's and doesnt let them do thier job.

Now, the only way to fix it (believe me, ive tried everything),

is to either get a new motherboard pentium(anything)class or celeron. Or get a new Video Card

Tough luck kid
