Chaotic Dreams

i have installed chaos ut correctly but when i try to start chaos ut i get this critical error

UT2004 Build UT2004_Build_[2004-11-11_10.48]

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: AuthenticAMD PentiumPro-class processor @ 1923 MHz with 511MB RAM
Video: Radeon X1600 Series (6660)

Could not spawn a GUI Controller!

History: UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine <- FMallocWindows::Free

Has anyone a solution for that ?

Usally this is usally caused by the missing content from Epic's Bonus pack which is required. Its trying to spawn the basics parts of the GUI but can not as its missing something. Please make sure you have that and then if it stil crashes post the log from the chaosut2.ini file so we can help you. Sorry for your troubles...

but where can i find the log i looked through the chaosut2.ini but i didn´t find the log.

The log is in the chaosut2.log that is in the same directory as the chaosut2.ini. If there is no log then that tells us something. Did you install the Epic bonus pack as that is required and will NOT run with out it and usally this is the cause...

my log

Thanks for your help as this shows us the cause:

Warning: Failed to load 'Botpack': Can't find file for package 'Botpack'

So one of your UCLs in your main system dir is calling out for botpack and it can not find it and thus causing the crash. What you need to do is find out which file is calling that out and remove it. Now botpack was the old UT U file so it should not be needed for normal UT2k4 operation. Probably another mod that was installed????

but how can i find out which file causes the crash?

I guess to a serach for the botback text but limit it look at just your ut2004\system dir...
