Unreal Gold does not start at all on Devuan Chimaera
It does not start, period. It does't segfault either, it doesn't notice errors which I know for sure exist because I already had it running once. If I run UnrealXLinux.bin, it may report missing libraries, but as soon as I paste libraries from the convenience folder, it just doesn't start. I use Conty (https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty) to provide for WINE and 32bit support, but I do not think that is the issue as it runs both WINE and other 32bit executables normally (and it even ran Unreal Gold the first two times I installed it).
It doesn't matter which renderer I put or which Audio (doesn't matter if I start it with -nosound either) I put or which resolution I put (in the .ini file), as I said it doesn't report any errors. The log file is empty for both UnrealLinux.bin.log and UnrealXLinux.bin.log. When I run it, i get a standard 'Running Conty' line, then, for about a second another blank line and it just stops. I know I installed it properly as, again, I ran it before already. What could cause this behaviour? I can't find any cached files in either .config or .cache (or even .local/share) that could cause this. I tried removing libSDL files, I tried deleting the .ini file, tried running it from within the .wine folder, and in ~/Downloads, nothing seems to help.

check for missing dependencies in System folder,
ldd *.so | grep -i "not found"
ldd *.so | grep -i "not found"

Re: Unreal Gold does not start at all on Devuan Chimaera
If its missing libraries, wouldn't it report that such and such library is missing? Nothing is reported when i execute the .bin file[]KAOS[]Casey wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 9:17 am check for missing dependencies in System folder,

Re: Unreal Gold does not start at all on Devuan Chimaera
you can try ./UnrealLinux.bin or ./UnrealLinux.bin with the -log parameter and it might output more log info. you can also try strace to see if its failing early

I reinstalled it after a while and now it runs normally. Odd[]KAOS[]Casey wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 8:29 pm you can try ./UnrealLinux.bin or ./UnrealLinux.bin with the -log parameter and it might output more log info. you can also try strace to see if its failing early
