Unreal Gold: Page Fault on WIn7 & Win10
Been playing this game for years on Win7 with no problem. Today I decided to run the exact setup on Win10 (dual boot with shared drive, so it's the same installation that was working on Win7). It works for a while, but eventually blue screens with "Page Fault in Nonpaged Area". I have 227i, HD textures & skins, Unreal Gold FIx, Unreal Evolution, and DX11 renderer installed.

The crashes occur at a different point in the game each time I run. That is, they're not easily reproducible, but (so far) they always occur eventually.

To experiment I started from scratch on Win10 with GOG's Unreal Gold, adding the same mods as before. I got further in the game, but again ended with a page fault BSOD.

Even more frustrating, when I return to Win7 and run the previously working game installation, it now page faults too.

(Also FWIW I run hundreds of games on both systems and Unreal is the only one with this problem.)

Crash analyzers (BlueScreenView and WhoCrashed) show ntoskrnl.exe at the top of the stack.

To me, all this evidence suggests a hardware problem, but why only with this game? I recently ran MemTest86 overnight and it found no problems. Where else might I look? Any ideas?

FWIW I managed to get past the page faults (probably by sheer luck) only to encounter a repeatable crash during a later map transition. I reinstalled from scratch and was able to get past that point, so I suspect my original installation was somehow corrupt.

I'd wager Unreal Evolution is causing a problem. Did you apply the supposed crash fix?
