i just recenlty got this video card and whenever I try to play ut2k3 it locks up. It usually doesn't even make it to the main screen. I have downloaded the newest drivers for the card and everything, but it hasn't fixed the problem. I've been playing medal of honor: aa and GTA:VC without any problems. Anyone else having problems with this card? Also, GTA was locking up until I got the new patch for the game. Thanks
 
I`ll give this a shot,what motherboard do you`ve,also I would check your CPU temp since UT2003 is very CPU intensive and this could be a temperature problem but I doubt it,try playing it with case open or try some extra cooling like case fans,also did you try removing it and reinstalling UT2003?

Other things you can try is use default or slower ram timings in BIOS and make sure nothing is overclocked.

You tried running the game with FSAA disabled?
I would run Driver Cleaner 1.9 and do another clean install of Nvidia latest drivers,I`ve seen some games run ok and others not because of old driver files left in registry.
I hope your PSU is good quality as well.



Driver cleaner download link .

Btw install latest DX9b as well and try disabling anti-virus or any non essential program in taskbar,some programs can effect some games so you need to rule that out by closing those down before you try playing UT2003.

 
DirectX is the default renderer for UT2003 for Windows. Try OpenGL* and see if the game works. If it does, then the problem is with either DirectX, your Direct3D graphics settings, or something else.

* To change the renderer to OpenGL, open ut2003.ini (it's in your X:\ut2003\System folder) and put a semi-colon ( ; ) in front of:

RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice

and delete the semi-colon from in front of:

;RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

Save the file and UT2003 will use OpenGL instead of Direct3D.
 
What OS? In W2K, the UT2K3 demo crashes on the load screen (that little splash screen, before it goes fullscreen) unless I start it as administrator.
