Prob w/Unreal Tournament & Quake 3 Arena

[Metalhead01]

After much difficulty and waiting the the FilePlanet server (God I hate that), I managed to get moth Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena installed and running on my system. They both run perfectly, save for an occasional flicker here and there.

There's just one little problem I can't get over yet: Whenever I try to exit either game, the system locks up. Has anyone had these problems?

My specs are:

1GHz AND Athlon chip
Red Hat Linux 7.3
3dfx VooDoo3 1000 video card (Don't have enough money for a decent 3D card)
128 MB RAM
Unreal Tournament v436
Quake 3 Arena version 1.31

well there is an amd problem that can cause lockups. the quick workaround is to put append mem=nopentium in your lilo config and rerun lilo then reboot. this is concidering you are running lilo. if you are using grub you'll have to look up how to add append lines.

The exit is a different problem then the AMD one. You can get more info on that here (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=102376926732464&w=2)
you might have to try starting the game from a command line and try to pipe the output to a file
$ ut > /tmp/ut.log

I don't know if that will work...let me try

Hey cool! It worked for UT :D

With any luck you'll be able to capture the crash to a file

Hope you can make some sense from it.

Yepper-doodles I can :D

Here's the problem...
Game ended at 692.519775
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CALC END STATS
Try turning off the ngStats or updating your Java components. I had this problem once when I first started using Linux and it turned out to be reight after I messed up the Java on the system, and turning the stats off stopped it from crashing.
I'll look at it some more and see if anything else stands out at me...

Did this crash on game exit or between maps? It was always between maps for me, that's when it does the ngStat update.
Oh, are there any mods or mutators added to this or is it straight 436 patched?

KungFuHamster ;)
Have I seen that name in internet games before?


I'm thinking about this more, I'm not sure if that is the error I remember from the stats logging, or if it is a normal exit code...I'll look into this more tonight when I can try some things with mine at home...
