actually, no... hmmm let me try Have you tryed yet? unreal tournament took a little longer than normal to start up, but thats probably because i havent played it in a long time why would that make a diff not playing it for a long time? because usually if i play it often, some of the loading stuff stays in memory so if i play it multiple times in the same day, it loads up also, the problem doesnt lie in the game starting up, it lies when i want to connect to the zone. Did you play online or offline?
