Frustrating shortcut question.

[god.less]

I installed the game, and have been playing it for a good few days. I made a shortcut in my Steam Games tab and have the actual shortcut to the mod itself on my desktop. My problem now is that the game will not run at all. Every time I tweak the target spot for the game, it either doesn't run, or gives me an error.

This is where the game is starting in:

"C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries"

and this is the target:

"C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe" -mod=..\TheBall

Is there something wrong there, I can't seem to figure this out.



Edit: Unreal Tournament 3 runs just fine.

Do you have UT3 retail or steam? If you have steam it may be located somewhere else.

I have bought and installed the retail version.

This is how it looks for me, be sure to don't mix up Start In and Target.



You have Patch 2.1 yes? That is the UT3 black edition.

What error does it give?

The game really is installed in program files yes?

I have patch 2.1 installed. The game was installed correctly and I was able to play it for a few days. Then, all of a sudden, every time I tried to launch the game, an error message:



Here is my Start In-Target Box:

Do or did you had any previous versions installed?

There is a log file here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Hourences\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Logs

Launch.log and/or Launch2.log. Run the mod, make sure it crashes, and then post the log file here. It may hold some clues. It must be something simple somewhere.

I uninstalled all previous versions of the game before I installed the final version.

Here are the launch backup files; the Log files appears to be empty. Hopefully this helps.

Doesn't say much, but according to google this happens more, also to an unmodded UT3. It is something specific in your my documents folder. Could try to delete all files in C:\Documents and Settings\Hourences\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config so you get new and default ones.

Could try deleting all the ones that are NOT named "DefaultSomething" here too C:\Documents and Settings\Hourences\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\TheBall\Config

Alright, thanks, pal. I deleted all those files and the game now works fine. Only problem; it deleted my saved game. No worries though, thank you again.
