UDK crash

I know, this should go to the Unreal forums, but I might as well try you guys..

The Unreal UDK (editor) just crashes on startup. I tried a complete redownload and reinstall, to no avail. I'm on x64 Win7 - anyone here having the same issue ?

    Probably not. Check your log - the most recently modified file in UDK\UDKGame\Logs.

    The actually version of UDK have some errors and bugs, one of this is:

    When you test out one of the :maps and play alone, you can fly/drive around in our vehicles smoothly and they behave physically as expected. However, when I add bots (especially when I add a lot of bots like, let's say 30) vehicle movement becomes VERY choppy... It just feels plain bad.

    I tried the same thing with a clean UDK install and an empty map. Same thing... so it's not like we screw up with something, but seems to be a problem built into UDK itself. It becomes best visible with flying vehicles, like the Cicada. Simply spawn it in an empty map, add a lot of bots and try to fly around with it. It simply doesn't work, i.e. doesn't feel right at all. :ugeek: :idea:

    Test, run as admin.

    Not sure which of the two cleared it, but after installing the Xing sandbox (which is a UDK game), uninstalling the UDK and rerunning the installer with run-as admin it starts, thanks for the suggestions.

    Actually it has ALOT of errors.

    1. Can't import video .bik files in content browser.
    2. Dynamic shadows bug.
    3. Can add materials in Static mesh editor.

    Hope a fix comes out soon. :(
