Unreal Engine + General Protection Faults

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Well i am now very very peed off to say the least :mad:

Im trying to play Ut2k3 and Unreal 2 but everytime i go it crashes in a few mins with a general protection fault. Im at my wits end, ive updated vid+mobo drivers, installed DX 9, reinstalled several times and in the case of the former installed patches, as well as fiddled with every BIOS setting under the sun.. can anyone give me pointers here im goign insane :x

:BOX:
Abit Kt7a RAID
1.33ghz Tbird
Gf4 ti4200
Win XP Pro

(nb this has been mentioned in another thread but i started this new one to label the problem more clearly)

What's coming up in the details of the gpf's? The only time I get those is playing Raven Shield demo (Which I am 99% sure is running the unreal engine). For some reason, mine were sound related...have to check when it happens tonight. I'll copy it and compare if you got yours.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

It varys, i'll try again tomorrow (its gone 11pm here) and post em up here

General protection fault!

History: FD3DInternalState::Commit::Textures <- FD3DInternalState::Commit <- FD3DRenderInterface:rawPrimitive <- FStaticMeshBatchList::Render <- RenderLevel <- FLevelSceneNode::Render <- FPlayerSceneNode::Render <- UGameEngine:raw <- UWindowsViewport::Repaint <- UWindowsClient::Tick <- ClientTick <- UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop

Thats the general gist of it :(

try setting your video settings to Lowest

that just meant it had trouble Compiling the Scenario

i just tried it last nite

and it worked Awesomely smoooth with Alllll the Eye Candies enabled at 1024x748x32 everything set to ON and MAX :D :D

it was not simply Smooth, but simply Super Way Too Fast

i touch my keyboard, and the guy is running like crazy already, instead of just walking

LOL :r

i had to switch to an even Larger screen for it to work at normal speed

but at 1024x748 is better for those Battles sceraios when there are too many moving objects on screen :)

[AllGamer]

BTW any idea how to enable the FPS view?

[Bigjakkstaffa]

(tab) sat fps

[AllGamer]

good, this way i can post some reference FPS in my system

so have you tried using low end video settings yet?

[Bigjakkstaffa]

To much important stuff going on ATM to risk crashing the machine

I had the same problem the other night while I was getting my box ready for a lan party. You are going to feel dumb like I did...

After reinstalling the drivers for everything...disabling my RAID controller (KT7A-RAID 1.3), and all the other nonsense that goes with the territory...an idea dawned on my...VIA chipsets are **** and a lot of the time you needs to install 4-in-1 to get things working correctly...I installed the via 4-in1 and all is well...

BTW...I've noticed as of late that ppl tend to post stupid A@@ comments rather than helping an individual with his/her problem. Instead of being a sacastic TWIT...why not offer help...or...STFU...

MY 2 cents...

ABIT KT7A-RAID 1.3
1.2 Athlon
512 PC133 Corsair
Yamaha DX Chipset Sound Card
MSI Ti4200
etc...

[germanNiklas]

true true
think it works now by me
so if u get error with audio or soemthing (in my other post u can see which error i had...unreal2), go options then AUDIO and then turn EAF or EAX or whatever its called off
then it worked by me
man i cant get enuff of this game :D
gonna play
im not on the planet/astroid called HELL

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Which version of the 4 in 1's Immoral?

Im running the same mobo and im running the 4.43 version and im still gtting the error.. btw is it the general protection error your referring to?

Cheers

[germanNiklas]

i didnt install that patch
caus i got the error where u had to turn off the eaf/eax or so
i just played and look what it said in windows

YOUR SYSTEM IS LOW ON VIRTUAL MEMORY. WINDOWS IS INCREASING THE SIZE OF YOUR VIRTUAL MEMORY PAGING FILE. DURING THIS PROCESS, MEMORY REQUESTS FOR SOME APPLICATIONS MAY BE DENIED.

what does it mean
i dont have enuf ram?
unreal 2 didnt crash or so it just said that, and i went back in the game

i have
athlon xp 2100+
gf 4 ti4200
512 ddr ram

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Its not RAM, its Vram. In system properties>advanced>performance>advanced (on XP) you'll see it

[germanNiklas]

thanks jakk

[Bigjakkstaffa]

I got it fixed, when i dl the 4 in 1 drivers i forgot to get the beta test service ones, that fix many of the longstanding errors associated with via, got them and all is well again :)

[Immoral_2]

4in1440v(a)p3 is the version I'm using currently. The general protections faults were numerous as they applied to me. I ran the patch and everything worked fine.

I didn't mean to flame the post with that comment. I just wanted to state that there are too many negative comments towards people trying to troubleshoot. I hope I was of some help...
