Crashes when I try to join a server.........

[De@D-EyE]

UT crash's as soon as I try to join a server on the internet.

It starts to load in the game, but then after a while loads in but the screen goes black.... the hard drive continues to access, but nothing else happens and I have to reset my computer

(I have the latest patch)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated??

Some info about your system/connection, plus any error message you receive would be helpful.

if ya have a TNT/TNT2/Ultra and your trying to play in Direct3D...download the 3.65 detonators from www.reactorcritical.com...you should be ok.

If you are using win95, then this may help. I had a very similar problem to yours and it cured it. It's just a small network update.

Heh, great DE@D-EYE,glad i could help you.This one sent me bonkers, i could get online with every other game but the UT demo, the best i could get was a connecting message and a quick still frame of the map, then the usual connection failed routine.(This stopped me wanting to even buy the full game at the time).When i got this update i was on in 10 seconds.I was'nt totaly sure you had the same problem i had, but it sounded pretty similar.
