Default [ut] Spikes / Lag.

I got a nasty problem on a certain server. I play CTF insta on quicknet located in the netherlands, but with some (default) maps UT shocks like a geek..Like it's doing something on the background anti related I don't know.

Specs:

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ @ 2.4GHz, (no powersave feature on, always at 2.4GHz)
2048MB ram
9800Pro 128MB with standard cooler (saving for a core 2 duo rig + x1950xt)
2x160GB sata & 1x 200GB IDE.

Latest drivers, Host OS: Windows XP SP2.

1280x1024x32/16x aniso & 4x aa > 100+ FPS.

Every other game does not have this. With closing UT, it takes like 30 seconds before the music litteraly stops when i'm in windows back. UT version is 348 (GOTY).

Any known problems?

Seen that on an old comp I had. I changed from D3D to OpenGL and it was all ok.

Yeah i know what u mean. It's with UT for years like this, however i manually always kill the process ..

Is updating the 451 an option? And where is the public DL link for that update?

it's so weird... it just 'stops' for a short second, and continues.. i almost want to say it's my vidcard overheating but i think thats a myth.. got new cooling-paste, got decent casefans (front / side intake and 2xrear outtake)...

I'm using the Direct3D8 renderer version 1.2 with UT 4.36 and it works fine. UT is starting and closing very fast.

I would like to give this thread a kick again...

I'm having trouble playin on this FullVersion server, any other just works fine and my Clanmates say they are having 0 problems with it. I connect, download the files the server is offering and i get visual / and i can play.. like almost 3 seconds later it boots me back to windows, leaving me no trace of what happend.

Opening logs (local) does'nt get me any far.. no trace of an error:
