IF YOU ARE CRASHING ON STARTUP, READ THIS FIRST

[jb]

I crash on startup with this:



I have made sure my installation was done correctly. Any suggestions?

Isotope,
can you paste the contents of your chaosut2.log file here?


Dracon,
at this point I have no good ideas to help you. Would you mind trying to reinstall UT2k4? U should not loose any data. But atm your not able to find the ChaosUT_xVotingHandler and that only has dependencey on the standard xVotingHandler... The other missing functions in normal UT2k4 code also does not seem right:

Warning: Missing Function Function XGame.xPawn.Died
Warning: Missing Function Function UnrealGame.UnrealPlayer.PreloadCustomAnnouncer
Warning: Missing Function Function UnrealGame.UnrealPlayer.CustomizeAnnouncer

[Shadowstar]

Perhaps they have a corrupted download of Chaos or the patch.

[Dracon]

I have had a few problems with anything running in the U-Engine before

chaos might just be one those things which wont run

the other was the Harry Potter 3 game so i Duno ill keeptryin but i duno

Well if you can give a re-install a try...again dont have to remove anything so it should not hurt. Remember to install the current UT2k4 patch and ECE when your done with the 2k4 install!

just a quick question,does UT2004 ITSELF work?without chaos

Also, don't worry about the skelmech thing.

[halprin]

Also, don't worry about the skelmech thing.

Are you sure? That seems to me what is causing it...

[Isotope]

It was causing it, and that's very surprising. I deleted the animations a long time ago, without any problems. Thanks!

Good, glad its working!

/me gives a nickel to Halprin for his help

[HiTdUdE]

I decided this problem was kinda relevant so ive posted it here. I hope Chaos Team have time to help me because it is really annoying me.

I have v3339 and I have the ECE Bonus Pack, just to say thats not the problem. The problem is that i download the file, and i extract the UMOD for Chaos UT2 v3.6 but it wont start up. whats my problem Somebody please help me because i even tried startinf rom the very start with verison 3.0 and downloadin all teh patches but even the 3.0 UMOD wouldnt start up

Update- Its Ok, i fixed this problem by using a zip of the file (daft me ) but now wheneva i try to start up the Mod i get this bug report, ive copied it exactly:-

PLZ HELP ME!!!

[TKATK]

there is a error with loading a CPB2 character,have you by any chance installed CPB2(pack 1 iirc) and tried to manually uninstall it

[SoulReaper]

erm nope
i got cbp 2 but i havent tried un-installing it...
can you plz tell me what caracter so i can delete it??

EDIT: i noticed in UT that i dont got the avatars of: "Gothgirl", "aurora",
"glumpf"and "Karaash"
can this be the problem??
they are all cbp characters

[jb]

yeap looks like there is a problem with those CBP chars. Try remove the UCL that they use and see if that works... Sorry for your trouble.
