Connection problems on LDG assault/race - mint 17- Gil-galad

[Youpie]

Hello!

For my second endeavour with unreal 2004 on linux (mint 17 x64 cinnamon) : I've

- installed the windows version via playOnLinux (I think it's a recent feature) and patched it via the same method
- copied the folder to /home,
- deployed the linux version of the patch, each file in its directory,

And placed in the .../system folder the missing libraries. To anyone interrested, I copied the missing files that ut bitches about not finding directly into ~/.ut2004/System directory:

copied from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu :

- libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.4 and rename it to libSDL-1.2.so.0
- libstdc++.so.5.0.7 (remember: 5 not 6) and rename it to libstdc++.so.5
- libopenal.so.1.14.0 and rename it to openal.so

Put into ~/system.

The game runs much better than the last time, I can connect to servers like rembo's sever and others, but each time I try to connect to ldg, it crashes and exit. As I launch through the terminal, I have an output :

When I try by clicking :

What's this "ReadFile beyond EOF 0+4/0" message?
Any ideas on why this is happening, or better, on how to solve it if that' the issue? I'd really like to join the fun...

I'm not sure installing ut2004 on linux is even worth it. It lacks some graphical effects and even the vanilla version is crash happy, let alone with all the mods like bw et cetera.

I get get your point, but i'm on a linux war path right now. That being said, I'd really like to play unreal tournament 2004 anyhow. This game is forever :p

So, besides Windows, nothing?

I googled your error and found a few things:

http://www.gravity-world.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4161 : They say that one file is corrupt and you will have to find which. In this case, it was otpUIfix.u and he deleted it and it worked. I don't understand all the rest and I don't know if it really applies to you, but you can read and try.

another guy who solved his problem: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... -a-305246/

You can also try to follow these instructions: https://forums.epicgames.com/threads/55 ... staller-sh

And apparently the patch can also cause trouble. You might want to try to delete the patch / reinstall the game without the patch and see if it runs.

Good luck
