If anyones having it crash after showing the splash screen on an nvidia card try this

1.Open My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3 Demo\UTGame\Config\UTEngine.ini (in notepad)
2.Find bInitializeShadersOnDemand=False
3.Change False to true and save

found this on the official forums after messing about for about half an hour re-installing direct x & forceware drivers etc, it worked for me

P.S this rocks!!

Looks like the game's server browsers is semi-broken. I can run the game maxed at 1440x900, but cannot tell if i am suffering low fps due to lag from other players.

Just fyi, this game demo does NOT work with x64 systems. It is a regularly reported bug in the main ut3 forums, it will either not install giving a couple different messages, or will install and lock up on the splash screen.



Dunno why epic would do that though, they've had good 64 bit support for their engines/games in the past, I don't see why this beta should somehow be limited by a 64 bit os.

Can't get it to work on XP x64. I'm sure the full game will support it though. I checked it out on my friend's 32 bit sys and it looks great.

It looks like Gears because they use the same engine. Probably borrowed some textures as well.

Thanks for the tip. Saved me having to waste my time downloading this. And yeah, it is odd that there's trouble with xp x64 as I believe EPIC even had a 64bit version of UT2k4.

YESS!

And...

WinXP 64 installer workaround
1) Click on Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
2) Right click on Software Restriction Policies and select New Software Restriction Policies from the popup menu.
3) Left click on Software Restriction Policies, right click on Enforcement, and select Properties from the popup menu.
4) Under Apply software restriction policies to the following users: click All users except local administrators. Click the Apply and OK buttons - you should now be able to install the UT3 Demo

We are currently investigating why it doesn't run afterwards. Sorry for the inconvenience... we certainly would've liked this to be much smoother :-/

Runs maxed out on my comp @ 1280x1024 :D. Its damn sweeeet.

Was worth the wait, waiting for it to come to an Aussie server for speeds of 1.2mb/s :).

Got a ati x800xt, after splash screen game crashes....

Tried the fix in the post above although my card isn't nvidia...

Anyone knows what to do?????

HELP!!!

btw: I updated my drivers for nforce2 and for my vga-card!!?

-----------------------------------------------------------

It had something to do with my ATI-card x800xt. I checked
dxdiag and it wouldn't run the 3d-tests with the newest catalyst-
drivers. I read on a forum one had the same problem with any driver
newer then 7.7. So I downgraded my card to last named version.

Everything runs fine now, allthough my specs aren't really good
enough for the game. Got a decent framerate on low quality (25-35 fps),
but the game looks awfull imo this way.
