Can't start on Arch Linux (can't find file for Engine package)

[Vladimir]

Hello guys,
I've installed UnrealGold and 227i for my Arch linux on x86_64 and I have this error:

Processors / Cores 4
Forcing CPU affinity disabled.
Unreal engine initialized
Detected 0 joysticks
SDLClient initialized.
Bound to Render.so
20.5ms Loading: Package Render
Ne poluchilos` zagruzit` 'Engine': Ne mogu najti fajl dlya paketa 'Engine'

appError called:

Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Executing USDLClient::ShutdownAfterError


Istoriya:

Exiting due to error
appRequestExit(1)


(it says "can't find file for Engine package/Can't load Render.Render class")

What do I do wrong?
I think all the necessary 32bit packages are installed. Opengl driver is installed. I have Intel integrated graphic card (laptop).

you're probably missing a lib, try

Code: Select all

ldd *.so | grep -i "not found"

in the System directory.

[Vladimir]

Nope. Everything is in place.
Same thing on my desktop PC with Nvidia card and nouveau driver.

two things you can check:

what is the name of the folder that UnrealLinux.bin is in? this matters on this ini entry:

Code: Select all

Paths=..\System\*.u

if the name of the folder isnt "System", it will fail to find "Engine.u" and result in Engine being unable to load even if Engine.so *should* load.

you can also try to run

Code: Select all

strace ./UnrealLinux.bin

to see if there's any hints on if it's looking for some files and can't locate them that way.


there is also a shot in the dark of simply adding "-log" to your execution of UnrealLinux.bin, it expands the log to have more log information.

Thanks a lot, I checked folder name and it appeared to be incorrect (system instead of System). Corrected, but now I have another problem:

All the lib32 files are in place. ??

[Smirftsch]

yet, this looks like lib32-intel-dri is missing?

[Vladimir]

Nope. Solved it.
I had to delete libstdc++ and libgcc from /System (part of the convenience libs) , seebs they conflicted with system libs.

[Vladimir]

Wel, now seems that I have another problem with sound. Segfault

Seems there's some trouble with Pulseaudio of ALSA.

Same thing with FMOD. SwFMOD runs but says Audio initialization failed.
Funnny thing is that it started for the only time some time ago, but then I upgraded some packages and here we go again.
If I set
ProbeDevicesOnly=True
it starts without sound in windowed mode:

Seems like everything works except FMOD and tracker music. Unreal runs with Openal on ALSA, but fails to load FMOD. I checked the Wiki, there seems to be no obvious readon for that. FMOD just can't open ALSA for output. Any ideas?

[Smirftsch]

For 227j I switched to libxmp in ALAudio for music output. As far as I remember there was some issue with Pulse and FMod in some distros but I can't remember the details.
However devdsp with OSS was always working flawlessly.

[Vladimir]

And how do I do that? libxmp and alaudio

[Vladimir]

I am trying to set FMOD as default driver with devdsp (snd-pcm-oss). Now it starts, music works, but sounds have some time lag. Openal with FMOD seem not to work together.

[Smirftsch]

We are working heavily on 227j, this will contain the new audio as well. I hope to release it within the next 2 months.

[Vladimir]

Wow, looking forward to it.

[Vladimir]

I've got it working on FMOD and OSS.
