Postby Sn1p3r87 » Wed Sep 30, 2009 11:42 pm

Everytime i try to change the screen res or a graphics setting the game crashes to desktop saying somthing about my Display driver has stoped working.. I can play UT3 fine maxed out so this message is new to me. And now it crashes on start up with the same message

Also i cant find any servers all the mod lists is the Normal UT3 servers and the game crashes when i try to join one.

Renegade-X version: The First Release

Problem description: "See Above"

Attach any screenshots/crash logs if you have some that could help.

Attempted fixes: I dont know what to do to fix this

Recent changes: Nope why would i?

You can't browse for RenX servers in the UT3 server browser yet. You have to either direct-connect with the IP address, or use the server browser (Renegade-X.exe inside the My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\Renegade folder)(Which for some reason is listing all servers as empty even though they are not.

When was the last time you updated your videocard drivers? And do you get the same error when you try to adjust the resolution in vanilla UT3?

Definitely need to update your video drivers. That's the number one issue with this cause in UT3.

Ive checked my drivers they are the latest or acording to Nvidias official website they are, Plus ive reinstalled UT3 Twice to make sure it wasnt a faulty install first time around

Yep Qouted on the website NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 190.62 Your PC currently has the latest driver installed for your GPU. No driver update is necessary at this time.

Did you install your UT3 game via the CD's or the steam program?
