Visual C++ Runtime error on UT2004

Dracion1 · 04-11-2008, 10:50 AM

Hello,

I've had a problem with this game recently. My game was working fine one minute with firefox happily downloading in the background, and I was using no where the limit of my CPU, PF or RAM. The next minute, windows crashes to 'protect my computer' and now when I try and run the game I get a Visual C++ Runtime error. Unfortunately I do NOT have the CD to reinstall the game, it broke and I am using the official CD free patch for the game. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have left a post of epics forums, but I wanted to double check elsewhere to see if anyone else knows about this.

Many thanks, Dracion

Try to download C++ runtime, or framework 2.0 from www.microsoft.com

And how exactly would that help, and what would I do with it? Surely my system already has it if I've managed to play the game successfully before?

System files can sometimes become corrupt when new programs are installed that overwrite dependant files with the wrong versions or when Windows crashes. A reinstall of C++ Runtime and .NET Framework should fix it if that's the problem. If not, then you might have to reinstall UT2004 to replace any corrupt files.
