Whenever I run Chaos UT2: Evolution from the "Community" menu, I get the following error.

Code: Select all

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

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: AuthenticAMD PentiumPro-class processor @ 1676 MHz with 511MB RAM
Video: MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5700 (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700) (5214)

Could not spawn a GUI Controller!

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

I am using UT2004. Can anyone help? This mod looks awsome, and I'd love to play it.

I'm using a No-CD hack, but I don't think that that's the problem. But then agian, what do I know?

EDIT: Oops, wrong forum. Could a mod please move this?

OK, I'll try that. I just assumed that it wasn't the No-CD hack because the error message didn't mention my CD-key. Fourtunately I saved my old EXE. Thanks.

EDIT: No, it didn't work.

I have the ECE bonuspack, and patch version 3339.

This may be the problem: I first used the zip intall, but because it didn't appear on the "Community" menu, I then downloaded the UMOD version, and installed it. I didn't remove the faulty zip install however. I used PR version 3.6 both times.

EDIT: Also, I used the full install, not the patches.

lets start

1.what order did you patch in,3339-ECE-CUT or something else
2.have you tried reinstalling becouse from the didnt appear on the community menu soudns like a bad install,which inturn could mess it up
3.try deleting chausut.ini and chaosutuser.ini or something like that īn /chaosut/system

Reinstalling is a last measure,and i dont suggest it if there is anotehr way
