[FIX] UT3.exe – kernel32.dll – Unreal Tournament 3
If you are getting the following error message when you open Unreal Tournament 3 do the following steps which should stop the problem happening.
If you do get this error, the first thing to do is to download and install the latest graphics drivers for your graphics card. I am assuming that you have checked the minimum specification of the game and your computer to make sure your PC can handle it.
To find out what graphics card you have, press Start > Run. Type in dxdiag.
Click Yes on the message that appears.
On the Display tab, make note of the name at the top left.
There are 3 likely manufactures that you will be using. Nvidia, ATi (now called AMD) or Intel.
The first 2 are the most likely.
Go to the website of your graphics card manufacture and download the lastest drivers for your series of graphics card and operating system.
Once downloaded. Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. Remove your old graphics card drivers, and only your graphics card drivers. If you have an Nvidia graphics card and an nForce motherboard, only remove the display drivers.
Once the uninstallation has completed, restart. Once restarted, install the drivers that you just downloaded beforehand.
Once the installation has finished, restart. Set up your screen resolution again if it isn’t detected properly.
Now try to run Unreal Tournament 3. If it still doesn’t work, you can try reinstalling the game. If that doesn’t work, head over to the Epic forums.
Note: There are 2 patches out for Unreal Tournament 3. 1.1 and 1.2. I don’t think you need 1.1 installed to install 1.2.
Download 1.2 (Latest)

Hi I had this same issue but I found a different fix for it
I’m running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP1
Graphics card is a Radeon 4850
the game ran fine then started to crash everytime it loaded but other games ran fine. The last thing I noticed was that Windows and Ati CCC seemed to think I had 2 monitors even though I only had one so I removed both monitors from device manager and also removed the graphics adapter from device manager and rebooted a couple of times after it had installed the drivers again.
This has solved my problem and I can recreate the problem and solve it in the same way I hope this helps someone…
Help! I have Intel(R)82195G/GV/910GL Express chipset family, and I don’t understand what to do!

Make sure DirectX is up to date. Contact Epic if it continues.
