I jsut installed UT99 again a few days ago. Then today i started noticing a problem. I'll be in the middle of a match and the game jsut suddenly stops....the music continues normally, but everything else just stops. If I try to ctrl-alt-delet nothing happens, but the music starts repeating a certain spot.

I tried re-installing the game, and at first it seemed to be working. This was befoere I installed the patch (v436?) I played like 4 or 5 matches, no prob. Then I installed hte patch...it seemed ot be working, and on my third consecutibe mathc...it did it again.

I dont know if the patch is responsible or not, and I never noticed this problem before...EVER.

It varies as to when it does it. Sometimes it'll be on the first match...sometimes the second...etc. There is no warning.

I am running on Win98
1000mhz amd
3d prophet II Ultra

I just reformatted last sunday and did run a thorough scandisk on all drives immediatly after doing so.

I didnt seem to be having this problem prior to today...so I have no clue as to whats causing it. Any advice would be apreciated, thanks!

Its doing this on the 2k3 demo as well...

Have you tried different drivers for your videocard?

updating the drivers seems to have helped...but no garuntee...I played about 4-5 consecutive matches, but I'll have to test a bit more to be sure. Thansk for the advice
