THAT'S IT!!!
I get involved in the PuF ladder, and my harddrive dies... I get the replacement (they kindly made a mistake and sent me a 23gig instead of a 20) and I find out it may not have been the drive in the first place... My DMA/66 Controller chip is dead... and the mobo's warranty ran out about a week ago. So I'm running my HD on regular IDE (never really see a difference, except when copying files). I'd gotten a couple new games and had been playing them, with NO problems at all (Mech Warrior 4 and Red Alert 2). Then I install UT, download the Bonus Pack and INOXX, along with the newest version. Play a little single player, get all my settings right. But when I try to play multiplayer it starts telling me I'm out of virtual memory, and to free up HD space. BULL****! I have 18 fricken' gigs free, and 192 ram, I shouldn't even need any virtual memory!!!
So, I uninstall UT, Install the bonus pack and Inoxx BEFORE i install the patch this time, and start up UT. When I hit esc to skip the intro, GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT. I try 2 more times, SAME THING.
So, that's IT. I'm fed up with UT. Constant problems, tweaking, adjusting, some patches work, some don't, having to try 50,000 different renderer's to get one that works right. I'll still hang around here some, but I doubt you'll be seeing me playing untill Unreal 2 comes out.
If you want to suggest a fix for this feel free. I haven't been around here a lot so there might be something you all know about with this patch or something, but I really don't care right now. Maybe in a week or so I'll try another version... We'll see.
BTW, I wanted to put a TCD on here that signified that had something to do with "A pissed off PuF'er complaining about the magnitudes of problems with UT." But we don't seem to have one. We should also have one for when people announce their departure from PuF for a while... Been seeing a lot of those.
And to save myself from critisizm: I'm not saying UT sucks, It's a great game... it just has a lot of annoying problems.
And if you've read this far... well... you must really be bored!
