Here They Come...Unreal Tournament 3 Questions....

Not sure about the BSOD, I can't recall my screen going blue (if that's what it means), but I followed your instructions and ran an error check.

Here's two error messages I found for the application...


Faulting application ut3.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.1.2600.3119, fault address 0x00012a5b.


Hanging application UT3.exe, version 0.0.0.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.

Is this information of any use?

My computer and UT3 still are not talking to each other. Maybe, I am just a bad matchmaker.

I think your best bet, if no-one else here can offer any solutions, is to post in UL's own Troubleshooting & Technology forums here;

You will probably have to register with them.

Good luck.

Hi,

Well, as things have turned out, I returned UT3 and got the Hitman Trilogy instead (which runs beautifully on my computer).

As you pointed out, it's best to wait a while before getting UT3, so they have time to iron out the bugs.

Alhough I was never able to solve the problem with the game never saving any of my game settings, I was able to tweak things enough to get it to run without crashing. The game did get a little stuttery but was very playable.

Below are some of the configurations I used which seemed to solve the crashing problems.

If you still have the game and are up to tinkering with it a little more, hopefully, these configurations can help your game become stable enough to play.


[Engine.ISVHacks]
bInitializeShadersOnDemand=False
DisableATITextureFilterOptimizationChecks=True
UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=True
PumpWindowMessagesWhenRenderThreadStalled=False

[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=22
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62
bClearAnimSetLinkupCachesOnLoadMap=TRUE

[TextureStreaming]
PoolSize=158
HysteresisLimit=20
DropMipLevelsLimit=16
StopIncreasingLimit=12
StopStreamingLimit=8
MinFudgeFactor=0.5
FudgeFactorIncreaseRateOfChange=0.5
FudgeFactorDecreaseRateOfChange=-0.4
MinRequestedMipsToConsider=11
MinTimeToGuaranteeMinMipCount=2
MaxTimeToGuaranteeMinMipCount=12
UseTextureFileCache=FALSE

Thank you.

Hopefully they will sort out the bugs in UT3 in due course.

thank you so much for the lines of code but what file am i editing these into and will i have to delete and lines to replace them with this or should i just drop them on the bottom?

Remember, I no longer have the game, but hopefully, I spent enough hours (ugh) working on UT3 to recall...

In the game folder, its the UT3 engine document you need to find. I am pretty sure it's the only UT3 document you can open which will contain all the configurations.

There will be a long list of different configurations, but you just need to find the configuration settings I posted and change those settings in the UT3 engine document, so it matches what I posted.

I would recommend typing the settings into the UT3 engine document, so the font will be the same because many times when you copy and paste text from one document into another, the fonts don't match, and that could cause a problem.

Make sure you save the new configurations and give the game a go. I sure hope this helps.

Feel free to ask any other questions, and I'll do my best to answer them.
