For nostalgia sake, I installed Unreal Tournament last night. It installed fine, patched it to vers 436 and ran it. When I go to actually get into the game, it dumps me back to the desktop with a visual C++ runtime error. I uninstalled, tried it without the patch, same story. I tried to run it in Win98 mode, same thing. I tried looking for help on the Epic (and affiliated) websites but no luck with finding my problem.
Any ideas? I’m not having any problems with any other programs/games.
System:
1.2Ghz Tbird
Win XP (fresh install)
GeForce3ti200
640MB RAM
Every time I’ve tried to install UT directly from my CD drive, the installer says everything’s fine and dandy, but the installed game had lots of corrupted files. (I’m guessing the installer was ignoring read errors from the CD drive)
Try using Windows Explorer to copy the entire CD to a temp folder on your hard drive. Then run the installer from there.
The game installs fine. When I run it, I get all the way to the Menu (GUI) where you can select you options, yadda yadda. Its when I actually get to the “FPS” section, the “Action” of the game is when this happens.
Its the Ti series. I have an NVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4600, and it totally
messed up all my games that run with unreal engine; UT, Deus Ex
and Theif, specifically. While I was playing in the game, it would
boot me back to desktop immediatly. No stalling, no message, nothing
Turned out that i had an old driver recognition
sowfware installed. You can update it at http://www.nvidia.com/
