jlc Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I forget, installed it yesterday and it was around 5.5. I installed it to my /opt, and my /tmp is only 2GB so if it did use tmp, it must be flushing it out as i swap disc or something? Played tell 3am this morning and came to work at 6am Pretty cool! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kungfooya Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 (edited) ok, i'm back again with some good news. I decided to try installing the game again last night and popped the cd into the cd drive, not the dvd. started the install and it went through, no problems at all. I guess UT doesn't like my dvd drive. Its cool I got the game working, but it is noticably slower than on windows 2000. Do any of you have any tweaks I can make to improve performance? Here are my machine specs. Athlon 2200 512 mb RAM geforce T1 4600, 128mb latest linux drivers mandrake 9.2 Thanks again for all the help.

jlc Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Remove Windows 2000, that should do it. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowFoxLSU Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Do any of you have anytweaks I can make to improve performance? Here are my machine specs. Tweaks to make it run fast, eh? Typically you have a coice between framerate and visual appeal. Anyway, drop the resolution of UT2004 down to 800x600, and disable the lighting effects (most notable on ONS levels... if you even notice it). Anyway, what you are seeing is the differnece between OpenGL and DirectX (both have there ups and downs). Personally, I dont see any framerate differnces between 800x600 and 1024x768 on my computer, but i do notice a little bit of slow down everyonce and a while. Oh, if you think it is a memory problem, try running a low overhead GUI, like fluxbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I'm back, and having problems with the retail version as well. I run the sh fileand then it starts the install upto a point ands just exits. I get this message, Copying to a temporary location... Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing Unreal Tournament 2004 for GNU/Linux 3186...................................................................... UZ2: Failed to fully write [/usr/local/games/ut2004/Textures/cf1.utx]! ./setup.sh: line 262: 2722 Aborted "$setup" "$@" [root@localhost jason]# Any ideas? Thanks! athlon 2200 512mb ram gforce t14600 mandrake 9.2[/code] Are you installing as root? Because your problem seems to be one of two things: - You do not have permission to the install directory. -or- - You are out of hard drive space. I have seen this problem before with someone running Gentoo where it wasn't those problems, but check them out anyway. You need around 5.5 gig available for the installation and you must install as root (or to a directory you have permission for). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Sorry, just noticed that you are installing as root... check hard drive space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Well after a pain in the arse install, ut2004 is great! Had to disable supermount and use icewm instead of kde to install. Anyway my framerate seems good 1152 X 864 all effects turned on with mdk9.2 1800xp 1024mb ram and gf4 ti4200 128mb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Just to share with you ... I got the 6 games' CDs and installed normally, without any sort of problem, but have no sound... I'm using alsa driver with an external USB extigy sound blaster that works quite well with tux and xmms. When I had ET installed the sound was not here at all either, should I start a new thread in the hardware section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfooya Posted June 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Just another quick question. Where dows UT2004 save game progress data to? My machine is acting flaky again and I'd like to make a backup of my progress but don't know what to save. Thanks for any info.

HJ Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 User saved data is most likely saved in ~/.ut2004 so just backup that dir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thanks, but I am pretty sure that it isn't a hardware problem... I got those all worked out running the demo, but ... 2.6 @ 3.2 P4 w/ 800 fsb + HT ASUS P4P800 MB 512 mb PC2700 OCSystems Ram GeForce FX 5200 ULTRA 128 w/VIVO I'm assuming it is ok to answer this question, since the original poster's problem seems solved. The demo ran fine for me on a NVidia GeForce4, but the retail game gave me similar errors to yours. The solution I found was to install the very latest nvidia driver from NVidia.

phunni Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 (edited) OK - I'm splitting this thread as there are 3 people with UT2004 problems, but they seem to me to be 3 different problems. It's going to a lot cleaner and easier to help peopl if these are seperate threads IMHO If you are looking for missing posts then check here It appears I accidentally deleted one of the new threads - for which I apologise. I will pm the "original" author and get him/her to create a new thread. Edited June 8, 2004 by phunni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
