Start-up problem

[SabreWing]

So here's my problem. I start "ut2004.exe" ; I go to "instant action" ; I choose unwheel, map, etc ; The map loads ; I get the car selection screen and choose my car ; And then UT2004 exits giving me this report :

UT2004 Build UT2004_Build_[2004-03-03_02.42]

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: GenuineIntel Unknown processor @ 3017 MHz with 511MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra (5672)

General protection fault!

History: UObject::ProcessEvent <- (UWSCarBugger UWRC-CityTrack.UWSCarBugger, Function UnWheel.UWSCar.PostBeginPlay) <- ULevel::SpawnActor <- (UWSCarBugger) <- UObject::ProcessEvent <- (UWGUI4CarSelect Package.UWGUI4CarSelect, Function UnWheel.UWGUI4CarSelect.ClickSelect) <- UObject::ProcessDelegate <- UGUIComponent::MouseReleased <- (GUIButton Package.GUIButton) <- UGUIController::MouseReleased <- UGUIController::NativeKeyEvent::LeftMouseClick <- UGUIController::NativeKeyEvent <- UInteractionMaster::MasterProcessKeyEvent <- UEngine::InputEvent <- UWindowsViewport::CauseInputEvent <- UWindowsViewport::UpdateInput <- UViewport::ReadInput <- APlayerController::Tick <- TickAllActors <- ULevel::Tick <- (NetMode=0) <- TickLevel <- UGameEngine::Tick <- Level CityTrack <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop

So, does anybody know what this means, I'd be really happy if I could get this thing to work. Thanks in advance.

Hmm... it seems there are problems spawning your Bugger.

From what I see, you don't have the latest patch installed; the newest official build is UT2004_Patch_[2004-07-27_14.28]. I suggest you get the patch, for example from here. To find links to the Mac and Linux versions, see the stuck thread at the top of the forum.

If that doesn't help, try renaming your UT2004.ini and User.ini into UT2004.ini.bak and User.ini.bak respectively. When you start the game, all of your settings will be *telefragged*, but I suppose the reconfiguration process isn't too painful, having to do it myself once or twice.

Please post your results from this experiment; if UnWheel works or not. If not, I will give you another series of steps to do.

YESSS! Thx man, if I were a woman i'd wanna carry your children...

Just kidding !
The patch worked, plenty of thx to you.

No problemo!

I have added it to the FAQ in case somebody doesn't know... even though it should be automatic to look if there is a new patch before posting a request for support.

Have a nice game!

well, i used to have a more up to date version and i tried it with that but it didn't work (and i had to reinstall to a earlier version so) i thought i had the latest patch.
