Everytime I play UT in single player mode, it freezes at the "High Speed" map in the assualt level. If I can manage to get the game to quit, my computer is still locked up, with the unreal music still playing. I end up having to kill the power and restart it. It only happens on that one map. Any one have any ideas on this? It's very annoying...

Wow, I thought I was the only one to have that problem. And yea, I think it went away after a reinstall.

Same problem, same place.

Is there a way to save the levels one has already played on a reinstall?

whoa! you are all talking about the high speed train level? i have had this freeze sooo many times with the same symptons! i contacted and was in email correspondence with their help desk but he keep on offering quite bizzare ideas and was no help at all! so a re-install is the answer? where you all able to keep your saved files or did you also trash them?

It's a known problem that's been around forever. Apparently, it has something to do with the sound. Some things to try:

1. Turn off Music
2. Turn off sound
and if all else fails
3. Switch to software mode just for this level.

What I did was that I just allocated more memory to it (if your playing in 9) because supposedly the game has memory leaks. Though mine seems to freeze after a certain time (some 2hrs) rather than a particular stage.

Hope that helps.

I'm going to do a reinstall and see if that fixes it. I actually forgot I had posted this until it did it to me again. Very freakin' annoying... Thanksa for the help.

thanks also for the advice.
strangely the re-install didn't help but the playing with the sound down did!
finally after about five months i can finish this game!
does anyone know the reason for this freeze?

There's an issue with the sound on that level. But I don't recall ever seeing it in multiplayer, just singleplayer.
