UT2003 and Wine

badp · Post by **badp** » Sat Apr 05, 2008 3:53 am

UT2003 installation ran fine. UT2003 successfully checks my cd for originality, then Nothing Happens.

When the correct disk is inserted, this is all that happens:

Code: Select all

badp@bPortatile:~/.wine/drive_c/UT2003/System$ wine UT2003.exe

badp@bPortatile:~/.wine/drive_c/UT2003/System$

No window appears at all. The application just closes.

Wine AppDB rates the program as Platinum using version 0.9.13; I'm instead using wine-0.9.58 on Ubuntu 7.10.

[s]http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiw ... WTO+UT2003 claims I should find a Linux installer on CD3, but the files the HowTo points at are not there.

[/s] EDIT: I was looking in the wrong place. Trying that way...

Any guess?

You don't need Wine to run UT2003, there's a native Linux version. Use that
instead.

He said he tried but couldn't find the files.

Op, I do think that you have found a legitimate bug in wine which is
likely worth looking into and fixing. However for purposes of your
being able to play the game the linux version likely is your best bet.

Unfortunately thought if you're having trouble with the actual
installation of the linux version I cannot be of service as I don't
have much extra knowledge in this area. Might I suggest you check
with your distro (Ubuntu)? I'm inclined to think that Ubuntu likely
has a package already for UT which will simply ask for you to put the
CDs in and it'll do everything else.

The Linux installer worked. Sort of.

The cdkey saving script was broken (it asked me to type the cdkey twice, and when it checked the keys for a match, it gave Syntax Error), so you need to type the following to save it:

Code: Select all

sudo echo "$CDKEY" | tr a-z A-Z > $InstallPath/System/cdkey

...where you want to replace CDKEY and InstallPath with the actual values.
Also, I had to chown ~/.ut2003 and its contents as the game couldn't find settings files.

Having done that launching the game gets me a splashscreen, display flashes black and...

Code: Select all

badp@bPortatile:/media/cdrom0$ ut2003
fcntl: Operation not permitted
fcntl: Operation not permitted
OpenGL renderer relies on DXTC/S3TC support.

History: 

Exiting due to error

Oh well.

Oh, and there is no package for UT2003 that I could find in the Ubuntu repositories.

Anyway, thanks for your time.

Although I've never seen this error before it does look like something
fishy with your graphics drivers. Does `glxgears` work? How about
glxinfo | grep direct (Should tell you Yes or No; we want Yes).

Oh well. [Rolling Eyes]

Code: Select all

badp@bPortatile:/media/cdrom0$ glxgears
4227 frames in 5.0 seconds = 845.364 FPS
badp@bPortatile:/media/cdrom0$ glxinfo | grep direct

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong here.

EDIT: Yes, the window with rotating gears does appear.

What sort of video card do you have? 800 is small even for the full software rendering (CPU only)!

It's an "Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family". Yeah, on Windows it runs most games at half the speed, but it's ok enough to run compiz with acceptable framerate (doesn't drop below 20).

I also have a load average of 3.42 3.61 3.05 (Boinc + Firefox + Python running an heavy script) so that may affect too the result.

Then forget using this stuff with any 3D program under Wine. It has horrible drivers (even worse then ATi) and does not provide enough functionality for most Wine needs.
Get yourself nVidia card. You'll get much better results with it.

On a two years old laptop? Oh well, I think I'll just drop the issue.

get the s3tc library and install driconf and enable s3tc in driconf.

Should help (though the i915 may be suspect in being able to perform with that game).

I have a laptop and a computer at work with a VIA S3 Unichrome Pro IGP
integrated video card, and it works better and with D3D/OpenGL
acceleration under windows than in Linux (it runs WoW and UT2004). In
fact, I never had a chance to make it work, even with the OpenChrome
drivers I couldn't run Compiz or anything 3D decently

so I had to
stay with Windows.

Same can be said for Intel, but Roderick's tip might help a bit. To
me, if it runs Windows games at half the speed then it's almost
identical to my case, then it's a driver issue.

I see. As far as I know, they were only included on the versions that have
the Tux logo on the back of the package and disc case. You might be able to
find them on unreatournament2003.com, or at least contact support that way.
Another possibility is they ended up on another disc...
