thx for sharing Seb....just an info , the two last nvidia drivers (310.xx) contain a new physx version, which seem to fix a bug with UT3.... be sure to have one of the last driver because because older ones seems to cause UT3 to fail @ launch
here are the details:
"Additional Details

and lol....quite happy to learn that i m not the last to see my UT3 crashing that often...+.+...everyone will tell that they had time to fix UT3 related bugs....except if they game still "casting" new bugs for each new GFX driver....finally it s a nice tool to test your PC stability....muhahaha ....
since i installed my FX cpu i just cant cook any map.....immediate crash of the ed
I might have found something that might work. It seems your C++ is outdated / corrupted.
From the Epic forums. You might try this out:
New computer running Windows 7 64-bit. Installed UT3 + patch 5 and the Titans pack. Getting the Visual C++ runtime errors and game would not even start.
Tried a few things. Here is what DOES work (for me)...
Remember this is for Windows 7 64-bit OS with Catalyst 9.12
5. Reinstalled UT3 to default location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Unreal Tournament 3\" (don't know if the location matters but it's what I tried and it works for me)
6. Run game (no compatibility mode needed) and enter DVD serial (it used to crash when I could get to this point)
7. Game worked fine so now installed patch 5 (v2.1)
8. Run game again to check.
9. Working fine so installed Titan Pack.
10. Run game again. Still fine and running great 3 days later
