For those user that have a GPF like this:

UT2004 Build UT2004_Patch_[2004-05-10_17.18]

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: GenuineIntel Unknown processor @ 2669 MHz with 254MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 (5664)

General protection fault!

where it can not find the ChaosGUI_UT2K4GUIController, this is pointing to a possible install issue. One or more of the chaos files that our GuiController needs is not found, so it can not create itself, and thus the crash. Below is a list of where all of the files for ChaosUT2 should be in. I have not listed the help files or maps as those (while important) will not cause a GPF if they are missing. Please double check to ensure you have all of these files in these locations:

There are a few files here that are probably not 100% critical to be in this list but figured to leave them in just to be safe. Note how we have some in the UT2004\system dir as well. Please for those users that have this issue can you double check to ensure you have these files in the right place? Thanks again for your time. And sorry for your trouble.

i have this error. But when i was on the lan everyone had chaosut2 from my zipfile and it was installed in the same way... i had this error two times
now the problem is i dont remember if i still had this error after putting the ce-chaosMenu.ogg file in the right place... maybe that was my problem *playingchaosut2tofindtheerror*

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2004 8:15 pm**

ok, i dont have all those files, so how do i get them? i downloaded from two diferent places, filefront and fileplanet, and both have files missing, and i get that message that you posted when it crashes, so how do i fix it?here are some pictures to tell you what i mean

my animation folder is missing some things]

my help folder is kinda screwed up looking]

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2004 8:17 pm**

which files are you missing?

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2004 8:43 pm**

here, i will let you see all my folders...the zip version

what it looks like when i open up my zip

then when i enter into the chaos folder

then into my maps

then players

textures

system

staic meshes

sounds

ok, after i get out of the chaos folder, and back to the first picture posted, i go into the regular system folder, the one that goes to ut2004/system, not ut2004/chaos/system, and it looks like this

they pictures are worth a thousand words, well, there ya go, thats about 10,000

The sounds and the music links are messed (sounds goes to static meshes, music goes to system). But from what i saw it looks normal (at least as in all the files are there).

Also not sure where that ambcity.uax jb listed came from.. but its not required as far as i know (have it in my install folder but not in my .zip.. which i know worked).

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2004 10:38 pm**

so you dont know why i cant play it?

Posted: **Mon Jun 14, 2004 12:57 am**

Well from what i saw your ZIP looks fine.. that doesnt mean it installed correctly.

Hate to ask this but can you hand check the file list jb gave with the locations in your UT2004 install and see if you are missing anything?

Posted: **Mon Jun 14, 2004 1:57 am**

i just looked, and i dont seem to be missing files anyware, infact, it's the other way round, i have to many files in my system, take a look

http://www.third-core.org/joe/system.JPG

and in help

http://www.third-core.org/joe/help.JPG
____________________EDIT!________________________
i found my problem, but i cant fix it...the two system file that should be in ut2004/system, are in ut2004/chaos/system...so i put them in their proper place. Well when i go to play it, it give me the same error, so i open up the chaos system, and bam, they are right back in the folder where i just took them out, the game overrides what i do...how do i stop that?

Posted: **Mon Jun 14, 2004 12:02 pm**

try to make those files read only maybe?

Posted: **Mon Jun 14, 2004 12:37 pm**

still doesnt work. Ok, first, i made them readonly and moved them to my desktop, i start up ut2004 and go to the comuunity and then hit activate for the mod, and well, it gives me the same bullcrap. So i go back to system, sure enough, two brand new files i just got done deleting have been made again....and the files i through to my recycle bin, well they are there, so it make copys and duplicuts. AHHHHHHH, some one help

Posted: **Mon Jun 14, 2004 4:46 pm**

Did any of those files it created have a + sign anywhere in them?

Posted: **Tue Jun 15, 2004 12:03 am**

Can Anyone help me with this, i get this error.

UT2004 Build UT2004_Build_[2004-03-03_02.42]

Failed to enter ChaosNoIntro.ut2: Can't find file 'ChaosNoIntro.ut2'

History: UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine

The ChaosNoIntro file is in G:\Games\UT2004\ChaosUT2\Maps and ive checked Jb's list.
The files in my music directory are

UT2004\Music\Arenatest2.ogg
UT2004\Music\CE-FinalApproach.ogg
UT2004\Music\CE-Skytrain.ogg
UT2004\Music\CE-Thermochemical.ogg
UT2004\Music\WarGate.ogg

I seem to be missing UT2004\Music\CE-ChaosMenu.ogg

I put the chaos intro file into UT's System Directory and it loaded UT, but not the modded version, Just UT2004

Posted: **Tue Jun 15, 2004 12:08 am**

Ive got the music file now. I just checked another thread. And im still getting the error

Posted: **Tue Jun 15, 2004 5:46 am**

Well.. i made a post.. then deleted it.. then found out it was right:

It appears from the message that your UT2004 install is not patched up to the current official version (3204). The patch for that version is availible at http://www.unrealtournament.com and should be about 12 megs i think. Once that is installed, check your UT2004\ChaosUT2\System folder and see if there are files named ChaosUT2.ini and/or ChaosUT2user.ini. If they are present, remove them. Then start up the game and see if that fixes your problem.
