Hi.
Is there any chance for Linux version of UT2k4?
On official details page is only written:
Compatible with : Windows® Vista & Windows® XP
This question / problem has been solved by stormaimage

Most likely no.
4. All games are Vista and XP compatible.
Thanks to our handsome programming team, the classics are now Windows Vista and Windows XP compatible. Now you can use your lightning-fast PC to unleash the full potential of those games you just couldn’t play properly on that busted old 386.

Actually, as far as I know, UT2004 is Linux-compatible, so I don't see why the GOG version can't be. You probably just have to get the Linux installer files for them. Here's the links for them:

I highly doubt the installers will be compatible... or maybe they will, as I think the directory structure of the DVD is identical to the installed game.
Not sure about 100% compatibility.

Linux installer from liflg: ut2004_3369-english.midway.dvd-3.run
gog version info: "This game has been patched to the latest official version: 3369"
If the images are compatible, this could work... I hope so :)

Another way of saying this is: If officially sanctioned native ports of GOG games exist for Linux or other platforms, they should/could be offered at GOG as well as the windows versions (perhaps with "unsupported" status, as is common). Not necessarily as standalone games, but as part of the supplementary material. With the exception of fully "Linux-only" games such as the (good) old Loki games, most Linux ports required players to purchase the original Windows CD/DVD to get the game assets, then provided a free Linux client and instructions on how to copy the game content off of the disk.

I second the "let's get the linux version" motion.
When it comes out, I'll buy it and try installing in linux and report back here if it works. I already have unreal tournament 2004 that I bought years ago, but this one has no DRM so I wanna contribute! :)
P.S. I think it probably works with wine.

I also would like to play the game in Linux.
The game has the binaries to run it in Linux, all that is required is the data files. Unfortunately these data files are going to be stored in the installer package.
I see one of two options:
1. Install the game in Windows and copy over the data file to Linux to be used with the Linux binaries.
2. Run the installer in Wine and if successful, move the data files to be used with the Linux binaries.
I plan to buy this once released so I will experiment with this and report back with my results.
Perhaps GOG will be kind enough to offer a download of just the data files for the Linux users.

I hope the game will run under linux, Xorlium i am awaiting your record.
I want to use Linux, but without any Games it's a bit boring, and one of the many god things of UT is, that it runs under Linux, so i probably will by it somewhere else, if the gog-Version ist Linux incompatible.

I've got it running under linux. :) The steps I took are..

1. Installed using Playonlinux or wine, whatever you fancy.
2. Grab the linux patch from here:

http://www.fileplanet.com/141074/140000/fileinfo/Unreal-Tournament-2004-Patch-v3369-[Linux]-

3. extract the patch then cp -r UT2004-Patch/* /path/to/GOG.com/Unreal Tournament 2004/

4. cp libSDL-1.2.so.0 to the System dir within GOG.com/Unreal Tournament 2004/
5. cp libopenalpp.so.1.0.0 to System/openal.so

6. from wine open up regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Unreal Technology -> Installed Apps -> UT2004. There you will find a CDKey. cp that value to System/CDkey

7. Finally all you have to do is run ut2004-bin from the system dir.

Hi,
I can confirm that the method storma posted works. I also needed to copy libstdc++.so.5 (I had to install it previously).
I'm also using kubuntu 8.10, and it works really, really well. Max resolution, max detail in everything.
What are your specs, Czubek?
Mine: Laptop, nvidia 9800M, Intel Duo 2.4Ghz, 4Gb RAM
Sorry for not posting I had a lot of work until today.
Posted November 29, 2008
As Xorlium said, specs would help.
Just a couple things off the top of my head, check your renderer settings, make sure it's opengl.
Do you have an Ati card? I had to roll back the driver to 8.10. 8.11 had graphical glitches all over the place and performance just wasn't there. With 8.10, everythings maxed out and performance is sweet.
If you start it from the command line, any error messages indicating what might be happening?

Hey! I got this working (ish) with CrossOver Games. I've only had two problems so far. The first is that if Xorg is set to any other screen resolution than UT is already set for, it 'tards out and won't start. (You can fix this by changing your Xorg screen settings to 800x600, opening the game, changing the in-game settings, restarting Xorg by logging out because it'll go nuts, change your resolution to what you set in the game, and start the game again.)
I also have been experiencing the odd mouse movement problem that seems to also afflict the CrossOver games Mac version. I sort of made this problem a bit less severe by upping the sensitivity of the mouse in-game.
Other than that, it seems to work great!
