Unreal Tournament III - Campaign Mode

[asingh]

Hi,

Does one need to be online to play the Single Campaign mode for UT3. Each time I start campaign mode...it hangs on the first cut-seen...?

Am not patched to 1.3 yet. Rest of the game is working normal...?

You don't need to be online to play the campaign mode. If you have applied the first patch , it will even save your progress in campaign.

Does the game crash even if you try to skip movies?

As soon as the movie startes..first 3 seconds...the whole system hangs. Just applied 1.3 patch. Will let you know in the morning what happens. But as of now....it hangs...within 3 seconds. The others modes, Instant Action, CTF, Duel, War..are all running normal. Am using the new ForceWare drivers.

Well...it is also not working after the 1.3 patch. I even rolled back to my normal drivers....169.21...removed the Physx Pack drivers. Still it is getting stuck on Campaign mode. 3 Seconds after the movie starts...! I tried it at the lowest resolution possible, with all effects..set to lowest. Others modes are running fine..all on HIGH...whats the issue.HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP..!

Now the 169.21 drivers are not letting me get the 1440 resolution. So I again went back to the Physics Pack drivers. Now resolution is fine...but Campaign mode is still not functional.

Okay..solved it..

Went to this location:
Went to the config folder at:
C:\Documents and Settings\userlogin\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config

And in the UTENGINE.ini changed:
PumpWindowMessagesWhenRenderThreadStalled=True
