Re: UT error, how to solve it?
Do you happen to remember what you were doing just before the error message appeared? Was Nexgen open? Do you always encounter that error on that map?
The Nexgen replace function has a potentially scary while loop (no limiter condition), but my best attempts to trip it up with edge-case input have failed. It would be good if we could find a scenario where the error occurred every time, so that the arguments to the function could be logged.

Re: UT error, how to solve it?
You did not mention some circumstances:
* Were you playing locally or on line? Because Nexgen is often used in servers, I think the latter.
* If it was on line: are you the server maintainer?
* And, as ShaiHulud already asked: what did you do before this error occurred and is it reproducibly?
Aside from that I detected a bug in Nexgen112.NexgenUtil.uc that may have caused this error:Because the InStr() function returns 0 if the search string is empty, the above replace() function will loop forever, if "oldStr" is empty.
<EDIT>
Example for map crashing UT added: one trigger logs the result of instr() with empty search text, the other trigger nearby the Pylon executes »log(Replace("Hello World", "", "none empty string"))« and will crash UT with this. </EDIT>

* $PARAM source The original string, which is to be filtered.

* $PARAM newStr Replacement for the substring to be replaced.
* $RETURN The specified string where all occurrences of oldStr are replaced with newStr.

static function string replace(coerce string source, coerce string oldStr, coerce string newStr) {
local bool bDone;
local int subStrIndex;
local string result;

// Replace each occurrence of oldStr with newStr.
while (!bDone) {
// Find index of oldStr in the part not examined yet.
subStrIndex = instr(strLeft, oldStr);
// Update examined and unexamined parts.
if (subStrIndex < 0) {
bDone = true;
result = result $ strLeft;
} else {
result = result $ left(strLeft, subStrIndex) $ newStr;
strLeft = mid(strLeft, subStrIndex + len(oldStr));
}

Re: UT error, how to solve it?
Thank you guys for your rapid answers.
Well, you are right, I have missed some information:
1) I was playing online
2) I am not a server
3) this error happen when I was shotting
4) This error (looping) happen often look at here and here and here

Re: UT error, how to solve it?
Okay, I see 2 crash logs are Nexgen related due to language conflict?
The other 2 have crash related to inventory/maps (not just some maps but a lot of these maps will have these, no escape lol but you could use XC_Engine to avoid the crash or keep the crash)

Re: UT error, how to solve it?
Thank you, but let me know how to use "XC_Engine".
Thanks
PS.
I have found this link. Is it this that I have to install and modify? In my C:\UnrealTournament\System I have seen two files "XC_Spec_r6.u" and "XC_Spec_r9.u" what have I to do with these two files?
Thanks

Re: UT error, how to solve it?
The installation instruction are there, but later in that thread I posted a web link with a simplified installation instruction.
Those 2 files, just keep it there. Maps and some servers with siege mod use it.

Re: UT error, how to solve it?
That latter image is identical to the one sent to me - and included in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=12054
...perhaps try the same solutions posted there and see if that helps.
Out of interest, was NexgenStatsViewer running on that server? It looks something like this when you join:
