Help! my ut99 is very sick :(
Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2020 2:00 am
so i had some time for ut today and downloaded / installed this 20ac mappack.
i was going to post my opinions regarding the new maps but after a while my ut99 became competely trashed. it is now broken.
starting with opengl, something (i think it was healing pyramid) just crashed the map selector popup. switched to d3d9 and things worked for a while.
I looked at some of the maps in the ued2, but they will not run. the map loads and then from spawn pov the map is just spinning like time tunnel, there is no way to stop it except
escape and bail out. Now, in fact, when i load ut99 (the app, not the editor) and after escaping the loading screen the mouse is stuck to the left of the screen (at the pull down menu) and is not responsive.
I can only use alt-keys to navigate can close the exe.
Going back into the editor, and loading other maps (not 20ac map-pack maps) same thing. spinning runtime.
Never saw this before - I suspect something in that map-pack has somehow messed up my ut installation.
obviously, i tried reboots, and copied all the system exes from another install to no avail. the problem is still there.
anyone else have issues? any ideas?
i'm dead in the water as far as ut99 is concerned, which is too bad. I have a map here needs finishing and will now
likely not get done...
Any suggestions are welcome.
