Odd uDemo Error

[*POTS*]

This is the oddest UT error I've ever seen so far.
I simply launched DM-Hyperblast off-line, I tried to open up the System Console and UT crashed with the following error:

Code: Select all

Critical: appError called:

FYI I'm not using the stock udemo.dll file, since I installed DemoManager V33 BETA some time ago, and I have a feeling that could be the reason for such an error... Might consider reinstall an older version and see what happens.

See the 'native' part of that error? That's bad. Native code is all the hidden stuff coders can't get at so most likely the error is unfixable because we can't see why it occurs.

Ask Herm about his wood fragments.

Yes that error is related to the udemo.dll file, which is required to run Demo Manager (all versions), but since it seems to happen only on DM-Hyperblast and only if I try to directly (by double clicking on the file) open the map I suppose I'll have to live with this bug.

I really can't understand the link between that specific map and the demo driver though.

It might not be the map, rather something that occured while taking the demo that cannot be reproduced, like a catastrophic error that the game recovered from. It happens sometimes, UT is buggy like that. Same map three times in a row can play solid twice then hard crash to desktop the third.
