UT GOTY Help-wont load

jeffgoss · 2nd Sep 2001, 10:45 PM

Having big trouble loading GOTY. I get an Assertion failed error when it is almost done loading.
My system:
AMD Duron 800 Mhz
ASUS Motherboard with VIA chipset
128 MB RAM
ATI Rage Pro 128 32MB
Sound built into motherboard
Windows 98
All current drivers
I have tried loading from the CD
I have tried copying to the hard drive and loading from there
I have tried loading in safe mode
I have tried enabling DMA in the cd rom properties.
I had the game loaded before I formatted my hard drive. I had to format when I began getting many invalid page faults while browsing the net-not playing the game.
Any help is much appreciated. Any questions please ask. I am sure I have forgotten something.
I can post the Unreal tournament log file if that would help.
Thanks alot.
Jeff Goss

What does the error say?

It said Assertion Failed, then shows about half a page of text.
I think I got it though-been working on it for 3 days.
I downloaded the new drivers from VIA-the 4 in 1 drivers came out recently. I loaded them and then tried to load the game-it worked. Not sure if everything is ok yet.
Thanks for the reply. I'll let you know if I still need help.

When you started UT in safe mode, did you try to disable various settings?
Try to disable all sound.

I didn't disable anything else in safe mode. I got the game loaded and working. Sound was the last thing that I hadn't done anything with. It sure was a frustrating problem. Thanks for the help, this Forum is an excellent resource.
