UT3 won't start at all.

[Knuckles_01]

I have 2 computers, one has windows 8pro 64bit, the other has windows 8.1pro 64bit.


-I have installed Unreal Tournament 3 on both of them.

-They both won't start the game, giving a very vague, (0xc000007b)

-I tried to install the old UT3 demo. I received the same error.

-I tried the UT 2004 demo, it works.

-I tried many more older games, they all worked.

-I have the computers fully updated

-Installed DirectX etc

-Drivers up to date

-.net stuff up to date


Bottom line, I am tired of trying to find the problem. If anyone has a solution to this, I would like that very much.

Uninstall all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages

Then reinstall.

Start with 2010, and 2008 versions.

Hopefully those will clear it up.

Well, I uninstalled and reinstalled the the C++ packages. But the game still won't start.

Try running it in Compatibility mode.

Slow clap. Sonic Generations is suffering form the same problem. Yeah, awesome.
