Quick Install Checklist:
    UT2004 Patched up to version 3369
    Official UT2004 bonus pack installed
    .u, .int, .ini Files all in System Folder
    .utx Files all in Textures Folder
    .usx Files all in StaticMeshes Folder
    .uax Files all in Sounds Folder
    .ogg Files all in Music Folder
    .ut2 Files all in Maps Folder
    .ukx Files all in Animations Folder
    ServerPackages in UT2004.ini added (if playing MP)
    Reload, Special, Dual Wield, other Keys bound in Controls

Problem: My game crashes shortly after round starts.

Solution: Chances are you have not patched Unreal Tournament 2004 up to version 3369 and/or have not installed the official bonus pack. If this does not solve the problem please post your problem in the forums on details on what you did prior to it happening.

Problem: My game crashes after a couple rounds/maps in.

Solution: This is likely a hardware issue with your computer. The suspected cause of it is insufficient RAM. Try reducing the number of weapons available in Loadout/Swap until you can have more RAM installed in your computer.

Problem: Weapons do not show up in MP games, either LAN or Online.

Solution: The Host must add in the server packages to their UT2004.ini file:

First, open up your UT2004.ini file. This file is located in \UT2004\System. Find your way to the lines that read "ServerPackages=.......". Now just add the following lines below all the other ServerPackages (Add new ServerPackages lines, in other words, do not modify any of the currently existing ones!):

ServerPackages=BCoreV25
ServerPackages=BallisticV25
ServerPackages=BallisticVehiclesV25
ServerPackages=BEVehiclesV14
ServerPackages=JunkWarV25

For the additional Community Bonus packs, add these lines:

ServerPackages=BWBPRecolors3
ServerPackages=BWBPWeaponPack2

Problem: The game crashes when I use the Reloaded cheat!

Solution: Unfortunately, there is no nice fix for this. The problem is from the game engine itself forcing itself to quit thinking it has ran into an infinite loop from getting so many weapons all at once. Our best answer is to either limit the amount of weapons available in Loadout/Swapping or find some sort of mutator or otherwise to add in your weapons.

Alternate Solution: When using the normal 'Loaded' cheat, it will give you only the weapons available on the map currently, but only a few from a selection at once. Avoiding using REloaded and using the lesser Loaded version instead will give you most weapons you have listed available, though you may need to use the code more than once if you have a large selection enabled. It also may trade guns you have for others, since the normal loaded cheat is only meant to give one gun (or so) per category.

Problem: New weapons aren't showing up in game!

Solution: Make sure you configure Ballistic Loadout, Ballistic Swapping, etc. to use the new weapons from bonus packs by checking them in the Mutator Configuration menu.

You may also try deleting your BWCache.ini file found in your System Folder (don't worry, it will automatically make a new one).

Problem: I can't Reload/Use Sights/Use Special/Etc.

Solution: Go to Options and set up the new controls that Ballistic Weapons has added under Input.

Problem: When I Host MP, sometimes people can't pick up stuff or only spawn with X!

Solution: An issue with ServerPackages that the host must fix. See the 'No weapons in MP' section above. Double check spelling and that all entries are on a new line. Assume capitals count!

Oh, good find. I'll add your alternate Reloaded fix to the original post to keep it together.
