ut2003 - 2199 serious problem

[saturn-vk]

i get rather anoying with these ut threads, dont i :)

anyways, i've patched ut2003 (which ran fine, if rather slow till now). now the splash screen loads, and then segfaults with this error.

Backtrace:
[ 1] ./Core.so [0x40a0769a]
[ 2] /lib/libpthread.so.0 [0x40dbfdfd]
[ 3] /lib/libc.so.6 [0x40bbbb48]

Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
Aborting.

can anyone tell me what's up with that? (that's all the info it gives me)

Is your CD key valid?

I was getting segfaults in that file too, but that was because I had typed in "asdf" for my CD key when installing the game, because I didn't have my manual with me. Changing the /usr/local/games/ut2003/System/cdkey file to contain the proper CD key fixed it.

yeah, I could even play online before. i checked the cdkey file and it matches the one on the cover of my case.

have you patched your game yet, with the 2199 patch?

I'm running whatever's the latest, I believe it's 2199, yes.

Umm.... I had a different segfault problem (in another function I think, though maybe not) when I first installed it, due to the fact that the game installed one version of the libSDL library, and my system used another version. The compiler version used was causing issues; at least that's my guess. Replacing the libSDL-1.2.so.0 file in the System directory with a symlink to (or copy of) your /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so file should help that, if that's the problem.

I'm using the 2199 version and never had any errors, the only problem I have is it takes forever to load a map, a good 2 minutes sometimes if it's a large one.

I'll guess that might be because I have about 100 added maps it has to dig through and about a 200MB cache... :)

weird, i can run it as root, but not as a user.
here's the log file for the user, it contains errors which are not present for the root

i've found the problem. somehow the file ServerIcons.utx had only 400 permission, but in order a user to run it, it had to have 444 at least. i should look into logs more carefully next time :)
