UT2004 AMD64 Patch; Epic News

April 1st, 2004 by Crusader

Ryan “icculus” Gordon updated his.planfile concerning an updated Linux AMD64 UT2004 build:

Linux/amd64 retail people should use this build for now:
http://icculus.org/~icculus/tmp/ut2004-linux-amd64-03222004.tar.bz2

This fixes the following things over retail:

  • Network compatibility is fixed.
  • Using WebAdmin doesn’t crash your server.
  • Dynamic lighting works.
  • VoIP crash fixed.
  • Probably other things.

This is ONLY for 64-bit Linux. If you don’t have an Opteron/Athlon64 witha 64-bit version of Linux, you can’t use this! If you aren’t sure: youcan’t!

Linux (amd64 or x86) clients are seeing the KIntersect crash. I’m stilllooking into it. The above binary doesn’t fix it.

Also, Epic’s DrSiNannouncedthe release of UTSecure2K4 1.10, their official security mutator for servers:

This version should close all known uscript holes in the game. If anyone outthere finds a way to bypass it feel free to email me how. I have alsopublished an update to the master server that should accept UTSecure andAnti-TCC as part of the default packages.

DrSiN also notes stats tracking will be down until they determine what’scausing load spikes on the master server. However, they have re-enabled thescript which generates the free dedicated server-only cdkey:

    There is more than just one damnit!

    Alpha platform has always been 64bit! Please press the magic button that makes it cross-compile to a 21164 ev5.

    Hey, you said 64bit Linux, right? This game doesn’t deserve the title of “64bit Linux” if it doesn’t run on the first 64bit Linux platform, that of the Alpha, perhaps even on 21064 if you wanna brag about it.

    Ya, I must be an asshole adventurist…but being a pessimist didn’t get Linux on your toaster-oven!

    Somebody get this man some medication. I’m glad I don’t own a alpha. Hell, even server’s don’t run it anymore.

    Phased out man- just like life- painful painful life.. seeping away.. dripping.. seeping.. wilting.. then WHAM! And pretty soon a toaster oven, as a previous poster said, is all it’s going to be used for.

    PS- Therapy is your friend.
