Unreal T (old school) freezes
My son has my old Mac and it's a G3 500 with about 290 mb Ram. He used to be able to play UT just fine, but lately it freezes anytime he starts any kind of multiplayer. I have no idea why.
I've tossed prefs... tossed the .ini files... upped the memory allocation... but it still freezes. We used to have a good time playing each other... no problemo.
No idea.
I'm running 9.1.
Anything else I can try? I've done the pram and desktop too.
What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you laugh and then beat me to a pulp?

It's been a while since I did anything with UT 99, but are you running the latest version of UT? Was 436 the last version, gang?

Re: Unreal T (old school) freezes
Does it only do it in MP? How does the single player run?
I remember with my DP500 G4 if my TCPIP prefs were corrupt the game would lock up, but so would any other network apps like IE or filesharing.

Re: Unreal T (old school) freezes
How do I know if my TCP IP stuff is corrupt? that could be it...
My Dual 867 G4 is running UT sluggishly as well... very strange. I did a clean install of UT on the old machine and we got a MP up and running last night... although it was sluggish.
When we tried to quit, it froze again.
GL quake also freezes... so I don't know if it's the games or machine or what. I did the DiskWarrior thing... nothing seems to help.
Buggy buggy stuff.

Re: Unreal T (old school) freezes
How does the machine run with the other apps?
Did you add something new to either machine?

Re: Unreal T (old school) freezes
I had that problem in OS X and I found out that all I needed to do was wait. Yes, it seems like the app just froze, but give it 3 to 5 minutes and it should come alive again.

Try installing the eavy server browser, it should fix the Mac master server issues with the game taking a pause for a few minutes.

Should also make the servers load faster, I use this on all my Macs.
