95339 2002-11-02 01:49:00 Is this really a single player demo? I refers to teammates and apponents tickets and asks me to select an area for re-spawning???
I then freezes my pc.

P.S Your spellchecker below deletes everthing.

95340 2002-11-02 02:06:00 Teammates are your AI controlled fellows - Opponents are the AI enemy. My demo works fine, so it may be a system issue you have - suggest you read the readme text for known problems etc Greg S (201)
95341 2002-11-02 03:07:00 I'm having a similar issue with the game, so I trashed it and tried the Sum of All Fears demo instead. It plays really slow, and when I try to play online -like it says I'm allowed to - access is denied because it can't detect the game?
So I have more fun with the UT2003. It doesn't freeze, falter or fry the computer in any way. Runs really fast too. Pity, cause now I'm gonna have to go out and buy the real version.:) B-)

95342 2002-11-02 07:40:00 Thanks Greg, I now know that it is single player but what does it mean when it tells me to pick a re-spawning site? I have checked out read-me file and only problem is my sound card won't play intro music...no problem. Marcus (2414)
95343 2002-11-02 12:58:00 Re-spawning site is where you pop back into the game when you start or after you've been bumped off and re-appear as one of your team-mates. Greg S (201)
95344 2002-11-02 20:11:00 Hi Marcus
Got the same problem - running Win 98, Pent 4 1600, Geforce2 mx400, resolution 800 x 600, 32 bit
The game just freezes and a buzzing noise from my speakers - all other games I have play ok.

95345 2002-11-02 21:09:00 Some sound related problems are fixed by unticking the setting in the sound controls for the game that says "Use EAX".

Video driver versions appear to be critical too. NVidia version 30.82 (WHQL certified) seem to be the best for the NVidia based cards.

95346 2002-11-03 06:50:00 hi Laurie. I've got the same graphics card as you and after I installed driver version 30.82 (as suggested by John Grieve,see this page) the game started ok. Looks like a good game. Marcus (2414)
95347 2002-11-03 09:37:00 Marcus my Mate
I to have just installed these drivers -but still can't figure out what to do with this "respawning thing" When it comes up on the screen at the beginning of the game - I press a few keys and all locks up. Uninstalled the game & reinstalled to no avail (no go). What am I doin wrong. Have left all OPTIONS as normal.

95348 2002-11-03 11:00:00 with the respawning ....click on the map where you want to respawn.

mind you i think the demo sucks. feels really werid to move around, have had slowdowns even on my system (gf3 1.4 t'bird) and the odd crash.

game play is ........interesting but at the moment it will stay uninstalled.
