Heads up on Nostromo Loadout issue
« on: September 27, 2002, 04:20:58 PM »
Guys,
 Just finally found a solution to a problem I have been facing.

 I was facing problems with my UT not working right after I uninstalled DirectX8.1b and reinstalled it.  I tried everything to fix it, but the system kept saying that unrealtournament.exe was open and couldn't replace it.  I even tried uninstalling UT, but it couldn't complete that for the same reason.

 Finally I went out to Sysinternals.Com and found a util called Process Explorer and I searched in the handles lists for unrealtournament.exe.  Guess what!  The loadout manager was holding the app open!  I forced the app closed with Process Explorer, and fixed my problem.

Just a note to be aware of the fact that the Loadout manager will hold open the exe for your default loadout if you set it, and have it in automatic mode.  Makes updates and the such a bit tiresome.

P.S. Sysinternals has MANY other utils that you may like!
