=====Problem with lifl.org Megapack installer on Linux=====

When running the Megapack installer from [[http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=17|lifl.org]] you get the following message:
<code>
You must install Unreal Tournament 2004 before running this installation program.
</code>
The solution is to create the missing symlink ~/.loki/installed/ut2004.xml to /installatiepadut2004/ut2004/.manifest/ut2004.xml:
<code>
mkdir -p ~/.loki/installed/
ln -s /usr/local/games/ut2004/.manifest/ut2004.xml ~/.loki/installed/ut2004.xml
</code>

After creating the symlink, the Megapack installer can be used.

Source:[[http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&order=ASC&topic_id=842&forum=41&move=next|[Alien Swarm installer] no ut2k4 installed]]

On an x86_64 system (FIXME: // add distributions and versions of Linux where this occurs //) you can get the following error when starting ut2004:
<code>
Assertion failed: sizeof(*this)==GetClass()->GetPropertiesSize() [File:UnGame.cpp] [Line: 149] 
 
 History: 
 
 Exiting due to error 
</code>

This is because the Megapack installer does not replace the ucc-bin and ut2004-bin by newer versions on an x86_64 system.

Run the Megapack installer as follows:
sh ut2004.megapack-english-2.run --target /home/username/test 

Rename ucc-bin and ut2004-bin in the ut2004 System directory and copy ucc-bin and ut2004-bin from /home/username/test/bin/Linux/x86_64 to the ut2004 System directory (/usr/local/games/ut2004/System).

=====Installation on SUSE Linux (10.0-OSS)=====

When running the linux-installer.sh script from the mounted CD, the installer asks you to mount the UT2004 play disc.

Open a terminal and su to root, mount /dev/dvdrecorder under /mnt and click on Yes in the window of the UT2004 installer.

=====/dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory=====

// Tested to work on: Zenwalk 6.0/6.2, CentOS 6.5, Slackware 14.1 (32-bit). //

After installation of UT2004 on Linux in /usr/local/games/ut2004 ut2004 runs, but without sound. \\
When you start ut2004 from the console, you see the following message:
<code>
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory
</code>
To fix this, do the following:
  * Use Netpkg (Zenwalk) / yum (CentOS, first add atrpms.net repo) / slackpkg+ (Slackware) to install OpenAL.
  * Open a terminal and, under the correct user (root?), go to /usr/local/games/ut2004/System.
  * Rename the old openal.so:
<code>
mv openal.so openal.so.old
</code>
  * Create a symbolic link openal.so to /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1.6.372 (can be a different version number on your system):
<code>
ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 openal.so
</code>

=====Running on CentOS=====

//Tested on: CentOS 6.5 //

Requires:
  * Installing compat-libstdc++-33: <code>yum install compat-libstdc++-33</code>
  * Installing OpenAL:
    * Add the [[http://atrpms.net/|ATrpms]] repo.
    * Install OpenAL: <code>yum install openal-soft</code>


=====Running on Devuan=====

// Tested on: Devuan Jessie x64. //

Install libstdc++5:
<code>
apt-get install libstdc++5:i386 libstdc++5
</code>

To prevent the following error:
<code>
./ut2004-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
</code>


=====4K resolution=====

  - Pull down the console with tilde {`/~} (left of 1/! on a US-International keyboard).
  - Enter the setres command with the desired resolution:<code>setres 3840x2160</code>
  - Adjust field of view:<code>fov 100</code> 
    - Recommended by source: 
      - 100 for 16:10
      - 106 for 16:9
