Hosting crash

[Illarox]

Hello!

I port mapped all the required ports for hosting a server to play with my friends but after a while when hosting a 'Listen' server, my game crashes with the following message:

"Build UT2004_Build_[2004-11-11_10.48]

OS: Windows NT 6.1 (Build: 7601)
CPU: GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 1867 MHz with 2029MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT (142)

General protection fault!

History: SkeletalMeshGet <- USpriteEmitter::UpdateParticles <- AEmitter::Tick <- TickAllActors <- ULevel::Tick <- (NetMode=2) <- TickLevel <- UGameEngine::Tick <- Level KF-MountainPass_Day <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Realloc <- 4C576C61 0 FArray <- FArray::Realloc <- 0*2 <- FMallocWindows::Free"

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

how often does this happen?

 

[Illarox]

At first this happened once in about three games, but now it seems like it happens every game at around waves 3-5.

 

[Illarox]

It's been a while since you answered so I figured to bump this.
I know other people have been having this problem as well.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

 

[ro_sauce]

yeah lots of ppl seem to get this error...
there might be an emitter that was coded wrong, because spriteemitters shouldnt be trying to spawn skeletalmeshes (meshemitters)

and it seems most common with mounntainpass, so its probably in the map itself.

 

[Illarox]

It happens to me in all maps I play in (Icebreaker, IceCave, Farm, Aparture, and a few more...)

 

[ro_sauce]

have you tried more ram?

 

[Illarox]

I don't have any more ram, but even this is more than the minimum requirements. Can this really be a problem?

 

[ro_sauce]

you only have 2gb?

when i had 2gb in my laptop, it crashed a lot, i put in 1gb more (3gb total) and everything works fine now.

 

[Illarox]

I played a while on my brother's PC (With 16 GB RAM) and same thing happens.

At first it happened very rarely but as time went by it happened more and more... It still happens less than on my PC for now though...

 

[Illarox]

Still happening, a lot.
Any ideas?

 

[tehmadcap]

What's the common factor between your PC and your brother's PC?

Are you using any mutators?

 

[Illarox]

I am not using any mutators and I am only using the maps that came with the game. No other maps.

The only thing I can think of that is the same is the internet provider... but since I am not the only one that this is happening to (Some other have been already complaining on the forums) this might be a different issue.

At any rate, any idea is good.

What about anti virus?

 

[Illarox]

We do share the same anti-virus but I have tried disabling the anti-virus completely and turning the firewall as well and this is still happening so I don't think it's the issue.

Which program is it? Disabling might not be completely 'disabling' it if it uses rootkit

 

[Illarox]

Microsoft Security Essentials.

Just tried on another PC with AVG Free and Windows XP instead of 7 and happens as well.
