when i try to start CUT2:E i get an error pop up saying there's a runtime error with ut2004.exe and that it had asked to terminate in an unusual way

i since installed all the latest patches to no avail
i tried reinstalling CUT 3.75 and the 3369 patch, no difference
i checked the log file and its empty

got any help you can offer?

Did it get far enough into the process to create a chaosut2.log file? (should be in your chaosut2\system dir)

Do you have the ECE bonus pack installed? Do you have full version of Chaos (3.7), before installing the 3.75 patch?

Yeah check the ECE bonus pack. Been there a couple times myself. :wink:

my unreal is the editors choice edition dvd
i had on the 3.7 full before putting on the 3.75 patch

it was working fine until i had installed some mods and mutators
but i dont see how those should completely stop CUT from starting
UT starts perfectly fine by itself btw

Ronin,

sorry I did not see that you had posted about the log files.

Try this:
Delete the Chaosut2user.ini and Chosut2.ini and see if that helps. Some times there is some left over "junk" in those files that can cause UT2004 not to start properly.

Try to delete the Chaosut2user, Chaosut2.ini again but this time also delete your ut2004.ini and user.ini from the main system dir. This should auto generate new fresh ones that hopefully will help.

Try to re-install UT2k4 over the top of itself, patch it up, install the ECE, delete the above files and try again. Hopefully it will not come to this.


Let us know if that helps and sorry for your trouble.

That looks to be the problem... I don't believe thats our's either. Did you install any character models or something like that?

Good Eye Mass!

We have seen where UPL and other files that are not remove properly will prevent Chaos from starting up. So if you no longer use that model make sure you remove the UPL from the main system dir and that should at least fix that part of the issue...

yeah the problems had started after i installed a few mods and one or two player models

now i know exactly which one is the culprit
i'll go check it out now
