Message

I emerge ut2004 everything seemed fine untill I ran it:

$ ut2004
<start up screen comes up and crashes>
(something like...) Error... this may be caused by a bad install or overheated hardware

So I am like ok bad install, I re-emerge (I was intoxicated the first time anyway) only to get the same error...

I decide before I bug report I will check that the ut2004's Disc linux_installer does work... again everthing's fine until I run, same thing different error message

Code: Select all

$ ut2004
ObjectProperty XEffects.xPawnGibGroup.PrecacheContent.Level: Serial size mismatch: Got 32, Expected 15

History: 

Exiting due to error

I patched to 3236, changes from ...Got 48... to ....Got 32...
I get the same thing runnning as root.

The log has:

And as the grand smack in the face I emerge the ut2004-demo, it works flawlessly!

This is a pretty new install:
2.6.8-rc4 (4kb stacks)
nvidia-kernel-1.0.6111
nvidia-glx-1.0.6111
alsa sound
udev
sata drive

Any advice would be helpful I have searched high and low, anything even what code to read to understand this problem would be great.

Something is most likely wrong with your cds.

Thank you for your reply.
I took my time and 'play tested' the game in windows extensively without error (the whole single player game). Well I did have EAX problems but that was fixed by updating a driver.

I thus find it _unlikely_ that it is the media, being that it will install successfully in both OS's and play in one fine. I think it is my setup, but I have no idea what it could be.

I would appericate it if you could help determine what the error means (or where to find out), telling me how to test the media, or any other advice that may be helpful.

1. don't use the ebuild ... just cp the linux installer from cd 1 and run that

2. report your success or failure here

tried the cd installer, doesn't work gives above error messages on running ut2004

I could try re-installing ut2004 (again) if you think it may help. I installed ut to /opt/ut2004 and a sys-link to /usr/games/bin

... I will check that the ut2004's Disc linux_installer does work... again everthing's fine until I run, same thing different error message

Try copying the Linux installer file from CD1 to your home directory and run it from there. Worked for me

ps I had problems running it from the CD.
