If You are interested in running UT2003 today, You may have issues on a multi-processor fast machine. Try starting the game from a CMD or Terminal session to see errors. You will likely have to set affinity to a single core.

In Windows, edit the properties for UT2003, in DETAILS use SET AFFINITY to lock it to 1 processor.

In Linux use something like this to launch it: taskset -c 0 /home/user/ut2003/ut2003

If it runs too fast in linux, help the timing by adding a speed switch like this: -CPUSPEED=3200

For a server, in Linux, You can use the ucc binary, but launch it using a script like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
while :
do

taskset -c 1 ./ucc-bin server [name of map.ut2]?mutator=mutatorname.mutatorname,anothermutator.mutatorname?GameStats=False?MinPlayers=8 -timelimit=10 --ini=Default.ini -nohomedir -log=dedicated.log Multihome=[box ip address on Your network] port=7777

done

ofc, leave out the "mutator=mutatorname.mutatorname,anothermutato r.mu tatorname?" if You are not running any mutators! The ucc-bin lives in the /System folder after you install everything using the installer .sh on the last disk of the UT2003 package.

You WILL need nVidia graphics drivers to run UT2003 as a client, but not as a server.

You will also need to make sure ports are forwarded by Your router to the box the server is on, and open these ports on the firewall of the host box. They will be 7777-7788 (or whatever You chose to use +1 for Ping), 27900, 5080, 28902 and 42292 i think - i forget why, but google up ports for UT2003 server and read why - in fact, it's all out there if You search for it. I bet half of those ports are for GAMESPY and Atari and are not needed.. BUT, your serverport +1 and openspy's 28902 port will be needed for sure.

I found the 'server only' packages for UT2003 here: https://gentoo.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/UT2003/ Please use the links below if this server dies..

Windows & Linux servers are also here: http://mrspring.info/unreal/servers/

You should install all the Linux patches for any version of the Linux server or Client pre-2225: http://mrspring.info/unreal/linux-patches/

When setting up a server in linux, if when you open files on your linux machine in something like VIM or MCEDIT You see a load of "^M" bullshit in the files, you need to install a package called "dos2unix" - then in a terminal, issue: "dos2unix *.*" in each folder in turn to clean out all these pesky ^M

This is especially annoying if You are trying to edit Your .ini fiels and they were previously opened on a windows system

Watch the output as You do this, as You may see "skipped as it is a binary file" for something that is clearly NOT a binary file, like an .ini - You will have to edit these by hand, and remove the garbage characters..

Update, March 2023 - all the links above are now moved to http://mrspring.info/unreal - NO LONGER at mrspring.net - so, try there for anything You want..

[09/23] Just had the dreaded SEGMENTATION FAULT on my Native Linux install, and there does not seem to be a cure under the latest conditions, aside from making a VM of XP or whatever.

So, VM it is, to a Windows 10 container (1909), and the install is perfect.

You need to install the Game, then the EPIC BONUS PACK, then the latest Patch. Then, delete the User.ini and UT2003.ini from then System folder of the install, and run the game. Should be fine.

If You get errors like NO VIDEO or whatever, install the patch again. Try to use an .exe version of the patch (it is windows after all)..

Remember to change the section in your .ini to enable Gamespy!! (see above)
