Hi.

On Slackware 12.0
I succeeded in installing unreal tournament 2004 demo.
I did "ln -s /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 /usr/local/games/ut2004demo/System/"

When i launch the game i see the little ut screen, then i began to see the nvidia logo... and back to the desktop.

bash-3.1$ ut2004demo
Negative delta time!

History:

Exiting due to error
bash-3.1$

Any idea ?

What's your CPU? Maybe AMD dual core?

Yup ! Are you some kinda medium ?

x64 5600+ on a Slack-12.0 with custom 2.6.x.

Just used google.

http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...1_9706,00.html - take a look at second (AMD Dual-Core Optimizer), this fixes same error on Windows XP.

Another solution would be trying to run this game using only single core.

!!

I'm searching how to force the launch of an app as single core, but found nothing yet.

Any idea ?

Get http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/ and take a look at taskset.

Happy NY!

taskset is installed by default on Slackware so i just had to :
taskset 01 ut2004demo

Happy new year too
