Take Care.

Waiting for it to turn up on myabandonware, I did buy unreal and UT on gog the day before it was taken off for ~ £1.50 total for both.

I have a had a copy for 20 years on a drive. I have moved it from drive to drive so many times. Its in a folder with all my maps I make and some files I like to hold on to.
How ever I did purchase a bundle on steam. Haven't even install all of them yet. Hope the license stays good 🙂

Its owned by epic it will never be abandonware. I have GOG Games Installers for UT99 GOTY and UT2004 also have ISOs if Linux folks ever need it. Mac people you don't deserve to play UT sorry.

Can someone plz upload the UT99 Goty Linux version?
I got an error from Ace when I play on Linux Mint with wine...

    The same original UT99 Goty discs were still used to install the Linux version but there was a Linux installer that you could use to install them. Some years back when I did this, it required some old libraries to get the Linux installer to run.

    You definitely want to run v469 for native Linux though it was a vast improvement even at v469a. So just follow the instructions from the patches link that Ooper posted to do native Linux if you want to go that route. It basically has you copy the files you need from the install disc(s) to your installation directory where you have extracted the v469 patch files.

    If you just want to get the wine install working with ACE you just have to make sure you are using a wine version that is compatible. I can't say all versions of wine that ACE allows but I can tell you that I successfully used wine v4.17 (staging). My guess is any wine version 4 would work and was probably the latest version of wine when ACE v1.2 was released. If you get kicked because of kernel32.dll and/or msvcrt.dll it is most likely an incompatible wine version.

    There are a few players using wine successfully on the London combo server if they see this post it would be nice if they could post their wine versions. Typing wine --version at a command prompt will print the version number 🙂

      Thank you guys very much! I follow first Oopers link to oldunreal and see whats happen. Thank you again 🙂

      I have the Linux patch unpacked into a Windows install folder. Can someone tell me how to start UT game now?

        I remember I ran the Linux version of UT on the original xbox ... it lags but it works (by the way, the Linux version differs from the Windows version by one file, if my memory serves me right)

        Haven't used that method myself to install but if all went well you should be able to go into the install folder and then the System folder within that directory and find the ut-bin file. Double clicking that ut-bin file should start the game or run it in a terminal if it doesn't work so you can see an error message. You might need to make ut-bin executable if it isn't already.

          That don't sound native to me.
