How about serving a proper HTML that contains the data they want to display? Instead of an empty page that tries to load the data via JavaScript.

That’s what was missing. Thank you!

There is no space in the path.

And it is executable, if I paste the exact line from the config-dialog into a terminal the script runs as expected and creates the text-file.

With the help of this forum post and a bit of persistence I managed to get it to work and I wanted to share how with future generations and/or my future self.

First Problem: libstdc++.so.5
dnf does not have libstdc++5 but apt does.
Solution: I installed Mint on a Virtual Machine ran sudo apt install libstdc++5 and then copied the library to my real machine into the system directory of UT2004. The game now starts. I know there must be a better way to solve this.

Second Problem: Game starts in a tiny window stuck in the top left corner
Alt+Enter switches it to a real window that makes the game useable, but setting a proper resolution and trying to make it fullscreen again crashes the game.
Solution: Open /home/user/.ut2004/System/UT2004.ini, go to the [SDLDrv.SDLClient] section and set all lines with viewport to the desired resolution.

Third Problem: No sound
UT2004 uses the obsolete OSS sound system.
Solution: Run the game under a compatibility wrapper. Debian and derivatives have aoss available. Fedora and derivatives have padsp. Thus run the game with padsp "./ut2004-bin-linux-amd64" and the sound works.

If all else fails I’ll fall back to the Windows version, would make me very sad though.

That helped. Thank you very much! Crashes everytime I try to switch to fullscreen though, I’ll play around with it for a bit, hopefully I’ll figure it out.

The DVD includes SDL and OpenAL, but not libstdc++

Right. I tried that patch now, but it still wants libstdc++.so.5

To be honest I’m having way less problems than I was expecting. I would never want to switch back.

Well yeah, but how do i figure out which version I need and where do I get that version?

Well obviously the version on the DVD is ancient. I did apply the latest available patch, but that is also ancient.

I assume the steam version the Lutris script uses was updated at some point after the last retail patch.

Right, turns out reading the documentation helps. Thank you!

Didn’t even know I had integrated graphics. Will try that out!

That would be an Intel i5-3570, 8 Gigs of RAM, no SSD because I cannibalized it.

I tried Factorio with Nouveau and it couldn’t even give me a decent Framerate on an empty map. Not sure if the driver doesn’t like that card or I did something wrong.

Awesome, I’ll try that.

Nice, thanks!

That looks awesome, thanks!

Oh, and the UI even looks better than the totally overloaded official Logitech UI. Thanks!

What the fuck are you talking about? No one in here said scarcity has no effect.

But no amount of abundance will bring the price below whatever material + labour cost. But arguing with you is pointless, you seem to be intent on missing the point.
