[resolved] Crash on Startup
[resolved] Crash on Startup
I installed version 3.7 with no problem, but whenever I try to run it I get this...
I've tried to launch it in just about every imaginable way, and have ece and 3369... but I can't for the life of me get it to work. And the solution that the other person on here described for the same problem didn't work at all, plus I suspect that was for 3.6 anyway. Also, I had pretty much the same problem with 3.6 before the latest version came out. I really enjoy chaos ut and would love to play it, but I just can't bring myself to reinstall, especially when it isn't guaranteed to fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I've tried every method imaginable to run the mod, from running the .bat to adding -Mod = ChaosUT2 (or something to that effect) to the command line on the shortcut, to running it in the community tab. And unfortunately the log appears to be completely blank.jb wrote:Can you run ut2004 ok?
Can your run ut2004 and then activate the mod that way?
Is there a chaosut2.log file that was created?
Sorry for your trouble
Re: Crash on Startup
I'm not so sure about that. You're not up and running yet anyway. But we'll get you there. Please bear with us.Lethargy wrote:I installed version 3.7 with no problem, ....
Ok. So we know it's not caused by 3.7 (and most likely not Chaos either... but we'll get there one step at a time).Also, I had pretty much the same problem with 3.6 before the latest version came out.
Ok. But Jb was wondering can you run UT2004 Ok? Can you fire up UT2004 and play, and can you do it with ECE content (ie: start by verifying that your UT2004 w/ECE is working).I've tried every method imaginable to run the mod, ....
And you said "something to that effect", but just to make sure, it's
-mod="ChaosUT2"
Actually, I'm not sure you have the same thing at all. It looks like yours might be standard issue of missing required files (I think maybe when it says GUI Controller that's what it means).Alopexau wrote:Exactly the same error here too, ....
I can assure you it's not required to open any Chaos packages in UEd to get it running. Yours is most likely install error as well.Azarael wrote:I opened the packages concerned in UEd ...
I'd bet $2 of Dorian's money that each of these is install errors.
Please refer to ReadMe/Manual and make sure all required files are in place, and working, and then that all Chaos files are installed correctly.
Re: Crash on Startup
My game runs fine, I couldn't get through the day without at least one 1v1 and one ffa game . Also, I did have the commandline exactly like that, just couldn't remember it off the top of my head. But I don't think it's an install error, or at least not one that's easy to fix. I had a little trouble installing initally coz it didn't know how to run the umod (because I used to have unreal installed and it was trying to use that, which was no longer there), but I fixed that and got the installer to work fine. Also, I've unpatched to 3355, uninstalled chaos, repatched, and reinstalled chaos and it hasn't fixed the problem.Thanks for the help, I hope we can get this fixedR.Flagg wrote: Ok.

When I go home tonight first I'll check to see if all the files are where they should be, then if that doesn't help I'll try deleting and backing up my user and ut2004 ini's and see if that does it, if that works then i'll figure out which one it is and then try to find what exactly the problem in the ini is, if I can't i'll just let the ini default and then paste in the chunks from mine that I want to keep. If that doesn't work we'll be back to square one.

Cool. Great, thank you.
Maybe we do have an issue here, but finding out can sometimes be difficult. We have to ask dumb questions to make sure everyone has covered the basics 1st (required files, install correctly).
I realize you could easily uninstall and play another mod. Thanks for being patient, and still wanting to play.

I installed UT2004 on a computer, and it ran once, and got that error every time afterwards. Nothing in the log either. Sometimes I just wonder...
[url]ut2004://82.165.176.170:7777[/url] - RPG Invasion, I really want some sort of melee chaos invasion on there!
[url]ut2004://82.165.176.170:8777[/url] - Chaos gametypes (all melee except CTF), and lots of other random fun.

Patch is for 3.6 to 3.7; 3.6 is not the version from the ECE release. The other guys having this problem, please verify that you are either updating from 3.6 or doing a full install. All your chaos files should be located in \UT2004\ChaosUT2\. There should be only one file in \UT2004\System, the ChaosUT2.ucl.
