Unreal Tournament GOTY Demo troubles
 

I installed the Linux UT demo, then here's what happened when I tried to run it:

[user@%username% System]$ ./UnrealTournament
cp: cannot stat `/home/user/.utconf': No such file or directory
Can't find file for package 'GlideDrv'
Aborted

I'm new to Linux, could someone let me know what to do?

ps. I replaced my username with "user".

The above hightlighted file (unreal tournament configuration file) seems to be missing. Check any documentation that came with the demo to see if there is any action you need to take to remedy the error.

Here's what I found in the readme file:

V. Configuration Files

When the Linux UT client starts it will try and find a file called ~/.utconf If it cannot locate this file it will use the current User.ini located in the System directory. If it can find the file, it will be copied over the User.ini in the System directory. When the game exits, it will copy the contents of User.ini into ~/.utconf, creating it if necessary. In this way, each user can have their own input configuration and saved games.

Doesn't this mean that it shouldn't be a problem if that file isn't there?

Copy the User.ini to your /home/<username> folder and rename it to .utconf and see if that makes a difference. You might also want to check the User.ini for references to GlideDrv.

Cool, I tried the .utconf thing, and that worked, now it just says

[user@%username% System]$ ./UnrealTournament
Can't find file for package 'GlideDrv'
Aborted

I'll try that other thing a bit later after dinner.

"GlideDrv" isn't anywhere in the User.ini file. I tried using "find" and searched manually, but didn't see it.

Are you able to start the demo in safe mode? If so you can choose the display driver to use.

How do you start in safe mode?

Also, I don't know if this will be any help, but I noticed in the System directory, there are files named "GlideDrv.so" and "GlideDrv.int". Here's what it said in the .int file:

[Public]

Object=(Name=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice,Class=Class,MetaClass=Engine.RenderDevice,Autodetect=Glide2X .dll)

Preferences=(Caption="Rendering",Parent="Advanced Options")

Preferences=(Caption="3dfx Glide support",Parent="Rendering",Class=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice,Immediate=True)



[GlideRenderDevice]

ClassCaption="3dfx Glide for Windows"

AskInstalled=Do you have a 3dfx card installed?

AskUse=Do you want Unreal to use your 3dfx card?


The .so file, when viewed as text, is gibberish. Lots of #'s and random letters.

Have a look in the UnrealTournament system directory for a file named UnrealTournament.ini and post the contents here.

Save a backup of your UnrealTournament.ini. Make the above change, save the file and see if the game will run.

Have you installed the wine package? And setup your fake Winblow$ environment?

I don't believe so

I would install wine, setup a fake winblow$ environment (and possibly re-install the demo) and try to run the game again. I don't know if you can install it wine via your package manager, if not it is available here: http://www.winehq.org/site/download
