I just bought some games that came out of a SBLive Platinum Package. My ? is will the version of UT that comes with these only work with SBlive cards? I have a Creative Labs 16pnp and the demo version runs fine. I have an Aureal SQ2500 coming in a couple of days but want to know if anyone else has had this problem. It installs fine but when I go to run it it shows the splash screen and then just sits there. I have to ctrl-alt-del and end clokspl to get it to go away. Know anything about this. It is version 428 on Win98se. I am downloading the 436 patch now as the one I already got wont patch this version. Any help?

The version that comes with the SB Live! cards won't patch with the normal patches. You need the "nodelta" patch (i.e. UTPatch436nodelta.exe). If that's what you're downloading, then good.

As to why it won't work, I'm not sure. I've got the same version (out of an SBLive!) installed here (at 436, granted I've never tried it at 428) on Win98SE with a Soundwave 128 PCI sound card, and it never did that. Might be a graphics card problem..... It works on Voodoo cards in Glide mode very well and on anything (AFAIK) else in D3D mode. OpenGL mode looks bad and is slower. What video card do you have, and which API are you using?

I am downloading the "nodelta" patch right now. I am using a Voodoo 3 3000 using glide so I don't the vid is the problem. Oh well I'll see if the patch does it

No, it's not the video. I ran it on a Voodoo3 3000 with Glide for a while, and it ran fine. With 436, that is.

Try the patch, I guess....
