= game crash=
build: any builds , 4339
date: may/june/july/august 2022
map: MH-ProxyMoon_V2.unr
bug/glitch relevance (low/middle/ high): very high
description: when the last sector is enabled (volcano/crater), UnrealTournament.exe crash each 60-90 seconds.
I have UTv469b version. No matter if player or spectator. After crash player rarely suffer score penalty.
suggestion: maybe new Unreal Tournament v469c will solve a problem ?

I encountered this also with v469c. Usually I start v436 for the last level of this map.
Maybe the v469c RC3 works ok - I'll report then.

Sadly 469c RC3 crashes also. But RC4 is out...

Looks like "Cluster 3D" audio driver is crashing when playing Music 'Complian_b.umx'. See also bug report on Github.

How to select new audio driver:
Options / Preferences / Audio
Audio Driver / Change / Change Audio Driver / Yes

Startup.General.Audio
Select either “OpenAL 3D Audio Support “ or “GALAXY 3D Audio Support “
Next / Run !

MH-ProxyMoon_V2, build: 4339,
online game 08.10.2022, last level (volcano/crater) after selecting new sound driver:

“OpenAL 3D Audio Support “ playing for 10 minutes and no crash.

“GALAXY 3D Audio Support “ playing for 8 minutes and no crash.


Case closed?
 
 
Update 09th. October 2022:

Solutions for UT v469:
[*] I'll patch out that music from maps that run on BarbiesWorld UT server:

I admitted, after patching *.umx file, you can use CLUSTER audio driver, too.
After selecting CLUSTER audio driver I played last stage for 35 minutes and no crash at all..

Case closed?

I guess yes, because

Looks like "Cluster 3D" audio driver is crashing when playing Music 'Complian_b.umx'. See also bug report on Github.

That music is activated when a player passes the stairway to the last, outside level.
