UT2k4 keeps crashing

[Corporate Thug]

to make sure it wasnt the OC, i ran everything stock (it isnt the temps either as i dont get anything higher than low 40s while playing)

i get the following:

CRTICAL ERROR

Go look in the official atari forums. You aren't alone. I had to download a damn crack just to play the game that I bought, but thats an entirely different problem.

do you know of anyway to solve the issue?

i suggest reinstalling the game at a minimum and maybe reinstalling the video card drivers too

good luck

justing running the demo, i reinstalled both the game and the video. no luck

btw, this problem only occurs after playing it for atleast 15-20 minutes

Then it's probably a heat issue

Maybe uninstall the demo before installing the full version... not sure if that will do anything though. I just got it today and it looks great on my system 😀 What version of the ati drivers are you using? I am using the omegas (catalyst 4.2 build) and everything installed fine, and runs great.

no other games crash, CPU is in the low 40's while gaming and i can run my video card at 9800XT speeds without a problem in any other game (i am running stock right now)

i just have the demo, wont be getting the fullk version until tomorrow. i guess i will just uninstall the demo, install the full version, and hope for the best. i am using cat 3.4 (i found them to be the most stable)

i've seen similair protection faults when running UT2k3 with my video card overclocked to the limit. it's rather strange that something like that can happen @ stock settings. try a different set of catalysts such as 3.7 if the full version also has the same problem. in the end who really cares about a demo. the full game is where it matters. it's not a good early sign though.
