Unreal Tournament 2004 DVD

I just installed FC3 on my computer and installed the latest NVidia dirvers along with all of the necessary updates to the OS (running 2.6.9). I have a Plextor DVD burner that I'm using to try and install my game on. I am able to mount the drive and cd into the directory. I am able to run the installer GUI and enter in my cd key, it then starts the install of the game and stops and asks for the "play" disc to be inserted and gives me an option to click yes or no to whether or not I have insterted the disc. I click yes since the disc is in the drive and then in the console window I see that it says that there is no disc to be mounted and then asks me to insert the "play" disc again.

Any suggestions???

try a create a sym link called cdrom and dvdrom:
ln -s /dev/hdx /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/hdx /dev/dvdrom
/dev/hdx is where the cdrom (dvd or whatever) attached. such as /dev/hdc

btw: i dont know about games much. if u try to install that game using wine, u may need to check config file of wine.

good luck.

Im not using Wine im just using the linux-install.sh

The last thing that I tried was I disabled the automount function and mounted it @ /media/cdrecorder

The links are as follows:
/dev/hdc --> /media/cdrecorder (which is the DVD drive that im using to install the game)
/dev/hdd --> /media/cdrom - This goes to a regular 52x cdrom drive

So try and create another link from /dev/hdc to /dev/cdrecorder?

Oh btw, the disc does work because I installed it on my XP box. There are two different installers on it, one is the setup.exe and the other is linux-install.sh which is the one that Im using. I have tried it with both root and sudo on my username.
Thanks!

some applications try to use /dev/cdrom to reach the cdrom driver (like /dev/hdc). maybe your game tries same thing.
/media/cdrom is the mount point directory, it is not a symbolic link.

dont try to create link /dev/hdc --> /media/cdrom.
u dont need to disable automount either.
just run following commands, they will create symbolic links. (do that with root rights)
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvdrom
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom
put the play disc into cdrom drive, and try. i hope it will work.
if it doesnt work, u may want to change the mount moints.
u can try /mnt/cdrom instead of /media/cdrom

good luck.

Another shot building on maxut's suggestion. If that doesn't work try linking it to /dev/dvd. This is the case for some as dvdrom is the case for others.

And to mirroring his wishes as well, good luck.

Thanks for the responses but I got it fixed. The command the I had to use was
export SETUP_CDROM=/media/cdrecorder

After that it started to install and now I'm onto another problem

RNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
Either GL_EXT_bgra or glDrawRangeElements not supported- bailing out.

History:

Exiting due to error

Which has something to do with the Xi Graphics and I cant figure it out.

What video card do you have??

NVidia 5200FX running the latest drivers. I just installed them a few days ago.

Ninjaz...

I have the same problem right now. Eactly the same as you. I have FC3 installed with the lates kernel and nVidia 5900XT with nVidia drivers.

When I run the installer from the DVD, I get the license agreement, then the install path, then it asks me for the cdkey. After the CDkey I continue and I get the "Please mount the Play Disk" Yes to continue and No to cancel.

Where did you give that command to fix the problem?

Was this a terminal command or did you edit any files to get this work? I am so ready to spash my machine trying to resolve this. Please let me know.

just type
export SETUP_CDROM=/media/cdrecorder
before you type in the command to get the setup running

if youre hacving the xig problem make sure that you did everything to install the nvidia drivers to install. if you did then run ldconfig as root and that should fix it.

Ninjaz;
Did you use the rpms or the installer from Nvidia?

UPDATE: I see that this has been fixed, Ninjaz, sorry to bother.

I got it fixed too thanks to this thread!

has anyone figured out how to install the mods off of the ECE DVD?
