ut2003 crashes

**variant** · 08-12-2003

Hi I recently bought UT2003 and it crashes after like 10 seconds of playing (if that) I updated it to latest version with the loki updater but still same :/ not only does it crash but it totaly locks up the system so i cant even logout or switch to console or anything only turn off pc:S

anyone got any ideas?

i use suse 8.1 on an athalon1.4ghz with a gf4ti4600 (with the official nvidia drivers) and 512MB ddr ram

Have you downloaded nVidia's latest driver release?

i updated last week..

Do you get blinking Caps and Scroll Lock LEDs when it locks up? Do you have a network with another computer? If so, can you ping your own computer from it?

i just ran it again and it froze after about 1.5 minnits at exatly the same point, if i select different game modes/levels it crahses at different points sometimes instantly. when it happens any sounds that are looping in the background continue as normal.

There were no flashing leds (although that has happend once before in a seperate incident not related) and i tryd pinging it from annother machine as soon as it happend and at first i got a normal response however after pressing ctrl+backspace to try to log out the looping sounds stopped and just buzzed and i could no longer ping my machine

I had problems on an older machine that look very similar to yours. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that machine had mobo problems. Do you have an alternative mobo that you can try?

nope:/ come to think of it the exact same thing happens with americas army:/

you think it would be worth trying on a different distro? i have debian CD's

thanks for your typicaly speedy reply btw:)

oh and k3b cant seem to make up its mind whether or not i have ide or scsi cdrw/dvdrom and kde thinks i have all sorts of cd type devices attached lol i was thinking that that might be a motherboard problem..

oh and i used to do all gameing under windblows with little difficulty ecept the normal windows crahses.. does linux accses the mobo so differently?

**Dolda2000** · 08-14-2003

I dunno, really. I'm just guessing here. Can you do gaming on the machine with Winbloze currently?
