BF1942 and UT2K3 startup problems.

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Rampart

Hey... You guys seem to be able to help a lot of people.. I'm hoping that you can do the same for me.

System Specs:
Windos XP Home SP1 + Updates on a
Athlon XP 2000+
512mb 2100 DDR
MSI KT3 Ultra
GF4400Ti

I have a problem where I cannot start Unreal Tournament or Battlefield 1942.

BF1942 shows the splash screen, then disappears. The screen goes black for about half a second, then error beeps and disappears.

UT2K3 gives me this error as soon as I try to run it.

the procedure entry point ?staticClass@URenderDevice@@SAPAVUClass@@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library Engine.dll

The Battlefield 1942 troubleshooting thigns I saw that seemed similar to my problem involved refresh rates. So I tried setting the rate to 60, and such. No benefit. I had a refreshrate adjuster on a couple monthes back, but I got rid of that a long time ago, and the games were working fine until a couple weeks ago.

I've gone through all the BF1942 troubleshooting stuff, and can't find anything for UT2K3.

The Planetside Beta and Half Life both work. As does Maya Personal Leaning Edition.

I don't know if the problem started before or after I installed the planetside beta.

I have tried:
The BF1942 Troubleshooting stuff that appeared to apply
Updating drivers on : Video Card, and Via 4-1 drivers
Defragging.

No luck =\

Thanks for even reading all this, with intent to help and stuff. And thanks even more for any suggestions or actual fixes.

OKay.. I went through the EA stuff again... and did this one

(its a link to the EA help thing.. just its a HUGE url.. I shortened it through tinyurl)

And I can get BF1942 to work now... UT2K#, however, is still screwed up.

try deleting the ut2003.ini file, it stores the videosettings that were originally chosen. Next time you run it, it'll create a new ut2003.ini file.

Also, if you crash again after doing this, post the ut2003.log and I'll look at it and see if it gives anything away.

deleted the file. Start UT2K3... same error... right as I run it.. just gives the error.

Check the log: log was last accessed in April.

This means that this thing is causing a hangup even before it can create a log right?

I'd say try reinstalling the game. If other games are working, there is no reason why UT2k3 shouldn't. Have you installed any mods recently? Maybe one of them goofed up some of the files unreal needs to run.

Just play Deathball and sniper arena (used to play bloodpit) And both of those had been running fine before.... I dunno.. I'll reinstall. Thanks for your help though. I don't know what happened or how to fix it =/ but at least you tried =)
