I don't know why this is happening, but ever since I installed the latest patch from the UT3 website in order to participate in multiplayer matches, my character keeps turning left uncontrollably. In the settings options where a scrolling bar feature is available as well, the same thing happens. The bar on the scroll pans left uncontrollably. I have already tried reinstalling the patch. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Ah, that solved the problem! Thanks Darkdrium.
There is another issue now though - everytime I enter into the Instant Action menu and select Deathmatch, UT3 crashes. Here's what the window says upon crashing -
UT3.exe has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Any idea's about this?
Edit - This crashing problem is happening to all modes in the game, including multiplayer. What gives? I just wanna play unreal =(

- Patch again to 2.1? (Reinstall patch)
- Delete in: My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config the files:
and try again (All your settings will be restored to default) - Reinstall the game, making sure that nothing is left over in the My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\ path and in C:\Games\UnrealTournament3 (Or wherever you installed Unreal Tournament 3) as well (Go there and delete leftovers manually, deletes all mods you had installed so prepare to install/download them again)
if its the controller maybe your treshold area is too small so the controller is constantly sending the "left" signal even the stick is (almost) in the middle.
Doesn't explain the crashes when the controller is unplugged. I thought about it, is it possible some drivers for the controller got corrupted, and it's messing up UT3 because it was using the controller somehow? I think re-installing should solve the problem (or deleting all the .ini configuration files I talked about), but I'm not sure...
If u have a large custom content collection try moving it out of "my games" folder completely temporarily. You dont have to bin it just move it elsewhere on the hard drive. Then try and launch UT3. If it runs its in your custom content. You would then put the custom content back in and remove it one piece at a time and try to launch it. Cut it in about 4 pieces to start with. I just use gametype coz i have subfolders for them but you could use a quarter of the alphabet. Once you find your faulty piece. Subdivide it in half again and test. Repeat process and you will find the prob. It may take a while if you have a large collection, but by halving the search each time it wont be too hard. Ive done this with several hundred maps on my comp. If you have mutators and maps you may want to start off by removing one then the other to start your search.
From my experience if your UT3 crashes from a fresh re-install its a buggy content problem. You could also delete your "published" shader cache's as well, sometimes that brings it good too. (although your maps are slow to load first time you play them again while it rebuilds cache of course.)
Anyhow hopefully some of that helps in your diagnosis
[EDIT] If you can remem the stuff that u added at the time that it stopped working start by trying without that in. When I get a heap of new maps now I keep my backup copy in a diff place, from tested ones now. This helps heaps when this happens, coz u can go back and check off against the list and limit it to what you downloaded. If you dont keep backup copies for DVD backup Id prob create an text doc of what your putting in at the time, or just use the download list on firefox (and remem not to clear it when you grab a shedload of maps lol )
