I'm having two problems with unreal 2004. The first being that the 3355 update is causing unreal to not work. I installed the expansion pack first then am applying the patch and it kills unreal.

The second problem is the openAL audio is not working in unreal. I'm assuming this is driver related. I tried updating the audio driver for my mobo which has an nvidia nforce3 but that only seems to conflict with my ATI drivers.

I'm running on unbuntu 64bit

Has anyone else had these problems or can anyone help me???


thanks in advance!

do you launch the program from the command line? That will give you some more information to work with. it sould be ut2004 from the terminal.

Hi spoody

that gives me a "command not found response" maybe i should reinstall one more time.

Hmmmm where is installed? Did you install it as a user or as root?

If you install it as a user the program will install in home by default. try
cd path_to_folder
./ut2004

It has been a while but I belive that is the user install.


I belive the root install is
/usr/bin/ut2004

please check and get back to me.

hi spoody

yes i installed it as user into the home folder

i tried ./ut2004 and got this message

dekm@ubuntu:~/ut2004$ ./ut2004
./ut2004-bin: error while loading shared libraries: ./libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot op en shared object file: No such file or directory

damn this was easy

all i had to do was follow these instructions and voilla it worked

You have two choices: Rename the 32-bit binaries (f.ex. add the ending "-linux-x86" and the 64-bit binaries (by deleting the "-linux-amd64" ending) or edit the script /usr/local/games/ut2004/ut2004 and change the line
exec "./ut2004-bin" $*
to
exec "./ut2004-bin-linux-amd64" $*

thanks for your help spoody_goon time to install red orchestra

Great!! Maybe we will meet in battle online one day.

This isn't in relation to any of the above problems but it is a UT2K4 issue:

The game worked perfectly upto 3 days ago, nothing critical was changed on the system but now the game is running so slow I can't even move the mouse. Anyone have any sugguestions?


System is a Slack10 on a P41.8GHz w/ 883MB of ram (soon to be 1GB as soon as I recompile my kernel)
