UT2004: Weird map problem since last patch

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.unreal.tournament2003 (More info?)

There's a map called Ranger SESMU. In the center node there are two
"bubble" tunnels that when you walk into them you are whisked along quickly
to the other side. I never had any problems before but now when I walk into
one my PC totally freezes up requiring a reboot. This is the only problem
I've had so I can avoid those tunnels I just wondered if anyone else had
played this map with the newest patch (3323) & experienced this as well...

No, the tunnels work fine for me, no problem.

Never seen it (that map). Do you have a download link?

I'm not familiar with the map, so I'm taking a wild guess here....

Is there a unique sound associated with being whisked through the
tunnel? If so, maybe it's a sound issue. Try turning down the
hardware acceleration for your sound card to see if that helps.

Well it only became an issue after the patch. Thanks for the suggestion
though

Got it - ta.

Tried it - not a problem in sight (or in the tunnels).

I agree with the other replies, look to your video and sound
card drivers and settings first. If I turn on the EAX feature of
my Audigy - crash withing a couple of mins. Leave it off and I
can play for hours without a murmer. There's no telling if the
patch isn't using some feature that wasn't being used before.

Another possibility is the current state of your 2K4
installation. You could try a reinstall followed by just 3323
(you don't need the ones in between) and then curse me 'cause it
made no difference

Sorry I cant give a definitive answer, those sort of problems
can be a pig to track down.

Hope any of that waffle helps

Steve

Yes I figured it's some stupid quirk unique to my install/PC but I just
thought I'd ask in case anyone else had experienced it. Thanks for the
suggestions, it's the only problem I have so it's pretty minor anyway.
