UT3 crashing when loading custom content

[WaitForTheRain]

Basically, my UT3 has a habbit of crashing while loading custom content, which means that I can't play alot of stuff I would like to. It doesn't crash with all the custom content, just when using certain maps or mutators. It doesn't crash all the time when using these maps or mutators either, it seems a bit random, but still only with custom content.

Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

PC Specs? Any error messages?

Processor: Intel Celeron D CPU 3.46GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Hard Drive: 160 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
Sound Card: SoundMAX HD Audio O
Operating System: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
Motherboard: Asus P5LD2 SE

-- I know it's not the most balanced or up to date gaming PC, but I don't see how that would affect it too much seeing as other games work fine and UT3 is fine in game, so it's just the loading in UT3 that's the problem.


No error messages, just a maxed out CPU and a UT3 that loads forever (if you just leave it)

Latest drivers? Overclocked the graphics at all?

 

[WaitForTheRain]

Yep, everything on latest drivers, no overclocking going on.

Patch 1.3?

 

[WaitForTheRain]

Yep

Service Pack 3 for XP?

 

[WaitForTheRain]

Yep, everything I can think of is up to date

Any idea's at all?

Can you post your log file?

 

[Darkdrium]

Perhaps a re-install is in order? Maybe one of the mods you installed got somehow mixed up with files for the main game or with other files, or some files are missing/etc. Anyways, try re-installing everything. It sucks, but it usually works. Good luck and be patient.

 

[WaitForTheRain]

Nah, it's not a re-install problem, I've re-installed UT3 a few times before, even on different windows installations, but the problem persists.

-- How do I obtain a log file if UT3 is not actaully crashing. It just seems to freeze up and max out my CPU rather than crash and close itself.

 

[Sir_Brizz]

well, right after it does that, grab Launch.log from My Documents/My Games/Unreal Tournament 3/UTGame/Logs and attach it here. We should at least be able to see what is making that happen?

 

[WaitForTheRain]

Ok, I'll post it when I next play UT3 (soon)

 

[WaitForTheRain]

Ok, here's the launch log

 

[WaitForTheRain]

Any idea's from the launch log as for what's going on?

 

[Angel_Mapper]

Using -nohomedir?

 

[WaitForTheRain]

no

Is your graphics driver up to date? The log is indicating that the game is crashing out mid-launch. Do you maybe have a bad stick of ram or something?
