Unreal Tournament 3 on Ubuntu 9.10

Hi, I am wondering if there is any way to get Unreal Tournament 3 to work on Ubuntu 9.04.

Thanks ahead of time,
Austin

There currently isn't a native Linux client, but supposedly one will be released in the future.

Have you heard of Wine? It's an application used to run Windows applications on Linux. It's not guaranteed to work, and these test results show that UT3 isn't playable in Wine, but those results are old and Wine improves quickly.

Supposedly they are still making a Linux client but no release date has been announced. Anyway UT3 is a great game. I used to have it for xbox 360 but not a lot of people played it on that system. I'd love to see it brought to Linux.

Wine is your only option at the moment for playing it on Linux. They've been promising a native port for years but still haven't delivered.

Which is why I purchased Quake 4 and not UT3. I figure I'd spend the money on software that works natively on Linux and if UT3 goes to Linux then I'll spend the money. But not until then.

Hey if you notice the wine page it suggests that UT3 works (albeit with some bugs).

I have installed it without ANY problems. But i'm not sure how to add the two registry keys that have been suggested.

How well does the game run for you under WINE?

Like I said the installation was fine. But when I double-click the desktop icon to play. The opening splash screen (guy holding gun) shows up, but then that dissappears and nothing happens. I assume I have to sort out the reg keys but I don't know how.

Strange, I have got the game up and running under WINE pretty well except for the mouse issue.

Did you just install it and double-click to play it?
