Weird error

[Chamberly]

When I started my UT, I try to bring up the menu up or console and my game crash and I get this message right away:



Don't think something is working right. Any idea? Even a default user.ini & ut.ini.

I did fresh install of UT and it still does the same (after I try to update recording directory for the Demo Manager). ?!

Another:

Do a save ini and try this ones . It ave xconsole in; so we can see if it is a windows or UT error http://unrealtournament.99.free.fr/u...=WarConfig.rar

So how would I use this?

In my current system (along the crash) were XConsolev3.4.8, DemoManagerv3.3, XBrowser and D3D9.

& I had about almost 10 GB of demos in and it was about nearly 2,000 demo files. So I currently moving them to another hard drive.

I could be wrong but could you check the following entries in your ut.ini

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=SoftDrv.SoftwareRenderDevice
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=IpDrv.TcpNetDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
Console=UTMenu.UTConsole
Language=int
GameEngine=Engine.GameEngine
EditorEngine=Editor.EditorEngine
WindowedRenderDevice=SoftDrv.SoftwareRenderDevice
RenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
DefaultGame=Botpack.DeathMatchPlus
DefaultServerGame=Botpack.DeathMatchPlus
ViewportManager=WinDrv.WindowsClient
Render=Render.Render
Input=Engine.Input
Canvas=Engine.Canvas
CdPath=1541
.
.
.

^ see the Bold Red Text.. I am assuming that yours is something like this;

Console=XConsole.XConsole

Try changing it to ;

Console=UTMenu.UTConsole

I have a feeling that .. it is related to perhaps a corrupt copy of Xconsole..

hopefully *Fingers / eyes & legs - Crossed* could do the Trick.

I think I got something figured out. What I've tested so far:
Fresh Install of UT
With XCon
Test... seem ok.
Take out XCon, put in DemoManager...
Then error comes out on DemoManger... (when you try to set in the path, then used a different 1)
So, I moved all my demos to another place. Leaving open space again for DemoManager to record and put files in. (set the path back)
Tried again... seem ok.
Put XCon back in
Test.... Seem good.

Maybe about 10 GB / 2000 files of Demos wasn't so good. If this has been simple enough for me I would've saved myself a lot of time redoing my UT and set everything back up !

& Someone told me that there were a problem between xconsole and demomanger... well I had these 2 together for over a year and didn't have a problem, but I guess they probably came across something like this before. Can't be sure.

Thanks for all trying to help. Hopefully this will save someone else's time as well.
