a changelog is part of the readme included in the patch.
check your help subdir in your ut2004 dir. |

are you sure? I am talking bout patch "3236"
As far as what I have been able to find out is that every single Linux server user is having alot of probs (official forum) and all linux posters are having probs. But by teh looks of it most UT2k4 are win users so we are being ignored.
The bugger is that you can unistall it in linux - didnt make a backup of files replace so I need to do a emerge ut2004 again
what I would like to see (EBUILD WRITERS) is the next ut2004 ebuild for 3236 (or next patch) dependant on present ebuild so only install patch NOT upissue ebuild to use new patch and install everything. BUT also take a snapshot of the files being replaced so patches can be unistalled very easily.
say maby the potential for going back 2 patch versions. That way if you install a new patch and it is a bugger you can just un-emerge that patch |

ha I know they are not ignoring us - jocking. I was just saying linux UT2004 is a very small persentage thus a very small persentage of all ppl that post at teh official forum are linux users and a post abt a fault with teh patch might be overlooked |

The bugger is that you can unistall it in linux - didnt make a backup of files replace so I need to do a emerge ut2004 again
what I would like to see (EBUILD WRITERS) is the next ut2004 ebuild for 3236 (or next patch) dependant on present ebuild so only install patch NOT upissue ebuild to use new patch and install everything. BUT also take a snapshot of the files being replaced so patches can be unistalled very easily.

ofcourse i am sure. and yes, i am using the second patch.
i did not use the ebuild for it.
i do not see removing the patch as an option, since i noticed
some incompatibility between servers without the first patch
and clients with the first patch - it would not surprise me there
are incompatibility problems between unpatched clients and
servers with the second patch as well. |

I know what you mean but all we do wht the patch is overwrite some files. and all the ebuild does is copy expanded files into a location |

it should do the same as you unpacking the patch manually.
ofcourse i have no say over problems unrelated to the ebuild. |

please do not use all-caps - it is the text-version of shouting.
as for a difference between paches - there are only two
patches and both work, though the newer patch has some
more fixes and such. |

| I have installed my ut2004 without the ebuild, and I have the problem with the long loading times too. So the ebuild is not the problem. I use a 2.6.4 kernel and a reiserfs partition. Maybe it is relatet to that?! And I have installed the 2. patch over a clean dvd installation. I installed no other patch before. |

Chill man I didn't notics the capslock was on and by the time i checked I had written 1/2 teh post so I left it.
On the grand scale of thing it is the least of the problems. So far you are the only one that has patch 3236 working with none of teh problems (excessive online map loading times, locking up at loading)
I would like this patch to work and am interested in your setup to see what is different in yours and ours?
I ran
# ut2004 >> ~/UTerr.txt
and this is the output
| Code: |
Resolved ut2004master2.epicgames.com -> 207.135.145.7

Hi there again,
I've deleted my ~/.ut2004 directory and started the game again... I've played now two times (with restarting) the game without any problems.
Maybe it's an issue with the config files ??

good idea. I tried that but still same problem. I did however get the "new" look online game filter so there must be a major change in config files.
I have gone for the big step and did an
emerge -c ut2004
deleted the /opt/ut2004 dir
just remerging now and will put new patch in straight away to see if ti is fixed |

next time you should use the -C option instead of -c 
the new patch works here, but i'm also on a AMD64.
the games is not crashing anymore, but i only tested in 5 minutes.
