Unreal Tournament 2004 on Leap 15.1?

[PattiMichelle]

Has anyone succeeded in getting this aged but cool game installed and updated for online play?
I'm able to install it (it installs the 64-bit version)

...but when trying to install the "latest" patches, it seems to get confused between 32bit and 64bit, and I've so far been unable to trouble-shoot that. In digging through my memory on this, I seem to recall a command line command which forced linux to act as if it were a 32-bit distro (and it would hence install the 32-bit version of ut2k4). Something like run32 or lin32 - which may be depricated now. (I did install LEAP 15.1 with the option to install the 32-bit runtimes.)

So, something like: ~> run32 sh linux-installer.sh might cause the linux installer to install the 32 bit versions of everything, thus avoiding the version mismatch which occurs when I install the latest patches to the game (which I believe are only 32 bit).

Thanks In Advance,
PattiM

EDIT: Ah - it's called "linux32" (geeze my memory is getting bad!)

Thanks for keeping old threads alive and well on this forum!!

 setarch - change reported architecture in new program environment and set personality flags Synopsis

 setarch arch [options] [program [arguments]]
arch [options] [program [arguments]] Description

   setarch This utility currently only affects the output of uname -m. For example, on an AMD64 system, running 'setarch i386 program' will cause 'program' to see i686 (or other relevant arch) instead of x86_64 as machine type. It also allows to set various personality options. The default program is /bin/sh.

EDIT2: However, ultimately the fix was exceedingly simple. After installing default (64-bit) then applying the patch megapack, the ut2004 launcher referenced the 32-bit binary. I renamed the 32-bit binary (ut2004-bin) in the System directory to ut2004-bin-32bit and linked the 64-bit binary (ut2004-bin-linux-amd64) to ut2004-bin, still in the system directory. Fixed.
