UT2004 won't start unless I launch it with sudo

[Sciamano]

Hello!

I've updated UT2004 installing the latest patch (3369).
Since then, UT won't start anymore! I can only see the splash screen for a hundredth of a second and then nothing.

If I launch it in a terminal, this is what happens:

luca@luca-desktop: ut2004
Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file

History:

Exiting due to error


But if I launch it using the command "sudo ut2004" IT WORKS! :confused:

Anyone knows how to solve this? I thought it was a problem of permissions but I chmodded the entire UT2004 directory to 777 and it still won't start.
Any suggestion appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Luca

you're missing a file/command in your .ini file in your system folder

but its odd that it would wokr wiht sudo...

try posting a readout of your ut2004 shell using

sudo gedit /usr/local/ut2004

and copy and paste
/ut2004
i won't be able to help you much (ima newb still : /)and im still trying to figure out my sound issues wiht ut2004
hopefully someone else can help you
good luck

Thanks for the hint, but I managed to solve.
It was, as I thought, a problem of permissions, but of the ./ut2004 folder under the home folder.

hmmmmmm the official site has the newest at 3355 but i did find a linux version of 3369 strange

[Rosenrot]

i guess the official site hasn't been updated lol
or icculus released them elsewhere instead of the official site

Yea if you goto another site like filefront they have the newest page listed as 3369. The loki installer is dead on.
