Oldunreal 227 Linux FAQ

On which distributions is Unreal 227 running on?

For the moment I have reports that it is running on:

SuSE 11.0

Slackware 12.1 (but maybe artsd needs to be killed or Unreal needs to be started up without sound with the -nosound option)

Unreal segfaults at startup

Currently the following reasons are known:

A messed up ini:
remove or rename UnrealLinux.ini and let Unreal create new one

A sound daemon is blocking dsp:
Try to start Unreal with -nosound option to confirm. If starting up then check if maybe a daemon like artsd is blocking the output

Maybe the sounddriver does not work correctly with OpenAL or FMOD:
Try first to change the sound output to OpenAL (or if you set it up first to OpenAL then try FMOD). Default is FMOD.
in Section [Engine.Engine]
;AudioDevice=FMODAudioDrv.FMODAudioDevice
AudioDevice=ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem

How do I access Advanced Options?

its not available for Linux users. You need to edit the UnrealLinux.ini instead. But all options possible options are already added and commented with a semicolon (;) you just need to change the commented lines.

I want to use the Unreal Gold/Unreal Tournament menu interface instead of this old one!

Open your UnrealLinux.ini and change the following lines in section [Engine.Engine]:

Console=UBrowser.UBrowserConsole

;Console=UMenu.UnrealConsole

into

;Console=UBrowser.UBrowserConsole

Console=UMenu.UnrealConsole
