For some reason, every time I try and run unreal (v226f) it shows the unreal splash then crashes with an error message saying

"Failed to load player class

History: ULevel::SpawnPlayActor <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine"

Safe mode starts fine and so I've tried turning off all directx in advanced options (I usually use d3d to run unreal), I've tried using a different sound driver but it still crashes. Can any of you come up with any ideas? Log file is as follows:-
