Is it crashing before you get to the menu or when you run your level?

If its crashing before you have a problem with a setting or maybe your menu code is messed up.

If its crashing after you and you just stuck weapons in you have a problem with something you did with the weapons. Check the Realityfactory.log in the Realityfactory root folder and see if it says a file is missing, or what errors it might say and post the error here.

Another case of the missing log file. Are you running the level from the level editor or with realityfactory.exe?
Also what was the last change you made before it started crashing? Please try and take a little time to answer our questions as full as you can it will help us resolve your problems a whole lot faster.
