ferus Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi, I'm having a problem with my UT3 game. When I try to start the single player campaign my game always freezes up during the videos. I'm not able to watch them, I have to skip them and then the game works OK. However I'm afraid I won't be able to follow the storyline if I don't solve this problem. I have the 1.1 patch, my drivers are 169.21 (WinXP, Athlon 64 3000+, Geforce 8800GTS320MB, 2x1GB RAM). Does anyone have any suggestions? The other thing is that anytime I exit the game my keymapping always reverts to the default settings. Nothing seems to help, I have to remap my keys everytime I start the game. Why oh why? :-( Thanks for the replies. Merry Christmas ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Make sure the config files for UT3 are not read-only. The video problem is odd. I'm betting it has something to do with the codec packs on your system. Which packs do you have installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlibbyFlobby Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 There are some beta drivers (169.28) on Guru3D. Rumour is these help with the freezes last time I heard. I'm using them without any freezes in-game so far. Might help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidfox Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'd say CPU. Video rendering takes a hell of a lot more CPU time than the game will... your CPU is really holding your system back. Ever considered upgrading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferus Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Thanks for all the answers. I'm using the "All in one" codec pack 6.0.3.0. I could try and install CCCP and see what happens then. As for the CPU - I'm planning to upgrade but I'm waiting for the release of C2D E8200 ;-) However, I don't think this is a CPU issue because some of my friends have a weaker system and they can play the UT3 videos just fine.

Blackhearted Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Do you happen to use xfire? If you do disable ingame or tracking for ut3 altogether since it tends to break most games in some way these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlibbyFlobby Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Seems the drivers I mentioned are up on nZone for users experiencing issues with UT3: http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_ut3_downloads.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(o) Xivion ) Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 ihave been trying to fix my ut3 but it freezes ingame when im shooting or something is blowing up.... ive tried everything.. but anyways in my endless search ive found that going into directory: My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config and changing some values in the UTEngine.ini file helps... try finding PumpWindowMessagesWhenRenderThreadStalled=False and change the value to true...

Konstanov Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Your processor sucks (it is the floor for what this game needs), get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
