    UT 2004 from Windows version

    Hello.

    I bought a DVD with pack of Unreal games, and there's Unreal Tournament 2004 too. But all games are Windows-version (there are archives with games on DVD and a windows installer). I want to play this game on my linux machine. Can I install the game (using wine) and then make a linux version work on top of it (copying files, etc.)? I heard that on standard version of UT2004 there's a linux installer on the disk...

    It's not necessary to do all that. Just insert the DVD in the linux pc, go to the linux binary in the DVD, and execute it. It'll run the installation program for linux. Another probably better thing would be to download a newer linux binary of ut2k4, with the latest patch.

      Yeah, sadly you got unreal anthology right? Same here, which means you have to do a lot of work to get it going.

      Heres a little guide.

      Installing UT2004 from the Unreal Anthology by Midway (thanks to type98 and coffeeadikt for their posts) NOTE: This How to takes notes from this guide. NOTE: This installation was undertaken on a 32 bit machine running Ubuntu Edgy Eft, but might be applicable for other versions. NOTE: Unshield might not work properly on your installation, especially if running the 64bit version. This might help. (See caveat) NOTE: This worked for me but might not for you, if you have helpful additions

        Thanks a lot! I didn't find .cab files (but some .bin, maybe same? But unshield didn't work...), but I copied files from windows installed version and it works great ;]
