UT just freezes up

[Game0rz]

hey all, this happens all the time, when im playing UT my mouse will just stop working but every other thing is going fine. i have a MS intellieye mouse (w/ no ball)
anyone know why this is happening?

At what time does this happen in the game? Are you searching for net games? My pc will freeze if I leave my firewall on when I search for net games.

[Game0rz]

no, its during the game at pretty much random times.

Is this a complete system lock-up? Can you ctrl-alt-del out of it? I can tell you its not a mouse prob since i use the same one. It really sounds like a heat related issue or some kind of conflict of devices in your PC.

[Game0rz]

well, its just UT that freezes, i hit alt-tab to escape then have to exit the game. I kind of fixed it in the unrealtounrnament.ini I went and changed the memory that goes to UT from 4 to like 180 and it only happens from time to time so UT is playable now.

what are your system specs? for instance, are you overclocking?

this way we can help in your process of eliminating variables.

My UT freezes frequesntly as well. espescially when searching for net games...It happens with my adsl. If I open it in a window and it freezes at least I can ctrl-alt-delete and keep shutting down processes until it unlocks. A big pain. I have a USB modem and I am switching to Ethernet...maybe that will help.

yeah, your like the same as me, i have 256mb ram though so i just changed the about of ram that UT uses from 4 to like 200 and it fixes most of my problems

i also have a usb thing but as you going to a NIC

Make sure you have the newest ver. makes a BIG differance.
Are you getting the error for running out of virtual memory? I had to go into windows and set my own VM size, I also put the swap file at the front of my hard drive. dont do this if you are not an advaced user!
