Hi,

I post this info so I can share it with all of ya.

After some multiples reinstallations of the game, I found it very long to redo everything each time by installing the game + the patche + various packs & finally the custom content.

There is a lot of reasons why you must reinstall the game so no need to go deeper on that.

Here come the tip ; a very simple thing you can do. You install the game & all the stuff. when your done, copy the game folder & rename the copies folder by adding a simple letters that tell you it's your backup.

With the time if a file is corrupt, just take it from your copy folder & replace the other one that seem to cause the problem.

By example, all my games are install in this folder :

D:\Games

So, for this game it's :

D:\Games\UT3

An my backup folder is :

D:\Games\UT3.ori

PS: I add .ori so that means it's the original installation + all my stuff

If you install another pack or whatever stuff in your original installation, copy the same stuff in your backup folder to have a 100% copy conform installation.

It's very practical if you must uninstall the game caused by a Windows registry corruption. In this case, uninstall the game, delete your UT3 folder, reinstall the game so the Windows registry entry are redone, install the patch only & copy your backup (UT3.ori) in the new installation so everything is back to normal.
