UT2004 not working
jerj October 30 - 10:55 PM

I have d3d8.dll and ddraw.dll and same version. Why is UT2004 still printing "The D3d8.dll file is linked to missing export ddraw.dll:ddentry12"


Solution ?
phil August 20 - 4:34 PM

The problem is probably due to differing versions of the two dlls in question....d3d8.dll and ddraw.dll Find both dlls (they should be in the windows\system directory) and right click on each file and goto /properties/version tab for each. If the version numbers are not the same..there's your problem. Get the latest Directx version from microsoft (redistribution version) and install - that should solve.


dll error (message May 18 - 6:29pm)

I get the same error message with other software, even with ddraw.dll in same folder - please help.

failing to start
bdmarsh February 12 - 4:02 PM

check for any USB/Firewire audio devices plugged in, headphones, iMic, iSight, stuff like that

the"alBuffer.c" is a clue towards this from OpenAL (audio layer or something like that)

www.xlr8yourmac.com had some info about this.


Won't Start Either
Devin Riley February 12 - 3:47 PM

I'm getting the same problem. Anybody have a fix yet?

I'm on a dual processor G5, also running 10.3.2 in case that helps


colors again
heavyboots February 12 - 1:15 PM

A quick color bug report:

My home G4/1x1250 with ATI 9600--colors broken

My G5/2x2000 with Apple 9600--colors are fine

So it's either to do with being a G4 or using ATI's drivers?

Both are running nearly identical setups--10.3.2 and both have over 768mb RAM so I don't think that's an issue.

HTH others trace this down....


Won't start
Alex Kac February 12 - 7:05 AM

Got it. Won't run.

G5 - 10.3.2 - no haxies or anything too fancy:

alBuffer.c:1101: failed assertion `0'
ERROR: Could not open SkaarjPack.u for reading!

ERROR: Could not open SkaarjPack_rc.u for reading!

ERROR: Could not open BonusPack.u for reading!

ERROR: Could not open SampleSkin.u for reading!


colours
m February 12 - 6:38 AM

hmm - colours dodgy in panther - works fine in jaguar...the opposite of 2003 :oS vehicles - great fun!


Results
TheTwig February 11 - 11:38 PM

Got it off BitTorrent in about 30 minutes. Plays a little more smoothly than UT2003 actually. (Framerate wise). Running on a dual 867 with geforce 4 ti. Thanks Ryan Gordon!


eh?
Toc February 11 - 10:27 PM

"For all of you downloading and it getting cut off, learn the power of the terminal and curl :)"

Or use Safari 1.2 :P


Download faster and resume
TheTwig February 11 - 9:21 PM

Ive seen the demo floating arount some BitTorrent networks. Thats where I'm getting mine.

For those that don't know, BitTorrent downloads from what multiple users have already downloaded allowing for sweet speeds, and can resume downloads.


The power of curl
Cameroon February 11 - 9:08 PM

For all of you downloading and it getting cut off, learn the power of the terminal and curl :)

for instance:

curl -C - -L -O http://the_url_to_the_file

In order:
-C - Tries to resume a download where it left off
-L Will try to follow any redirects
-O Uses the name of the file you're trying to d/l (like http://someplace/my_file.zip -- would download as my_file.zip)

If/when the download times out, just re-enter the command on the terminal line and it will pick up where it left off.

For those not wanting to use the terminal, find one of the many "download managers". Most of 'em support resumable downloads.


What's wrong?
ABigSmall February 11 - 8:23 PM

I've tried downloading the demo from MGF's file locations five times already, and each time the demo stops downloading at around 50 megabytes. It's very slow as well. Is this because many people are trying to download the demo all at once?


Hmm..
ABigSmall February 11 - 8:22 PM

fixed it
Narles February 11 - 7:37 PM

He He...sorry. I fixed the problem...I had a bad version (from one of the many partial downloads that I got) mounted. I just restarted and that got rid of the bad mounts and I was able to mount it right.


Nathaniel February 11 - 7:35 PM

When I try to start the game up, it gives me a startup screen, but then it quits after that. Does anyone know why?


Problem!
Narles February 11 - 7:30 PM

I've downloaded this twice (the full 200.2 MB download) and when I go to mount it from it's dmg. it gives me an error! Can anyone please help?!


anon February 11 - 5:56 PM

damn, the color bug seems to be there again even ingame. guess its a compatibility issue with certain vid cards.


Demo Playability
Evan Sattem February 11 - 5:53 PM

Its an awesome demo, but not really playable for anything below the requirements, I have a 700mhz iMac, and its barely playable. Ultra slow and laggy, and it is very choppy. I love the game, but now I can't run it.


anon February 11 - 5:46 PM

As noted by some other people I get strange-colored menus whenever I start the game (like the color bug in ut2k3 between jaguar and panther). However, selecting another resolution in the options menu and switching back to your prefered fixes it, however I've had to do this every time I launch. Just a head's up.


Thanks again
Shagz February 11 - 5:36 PM

Thanks Tuncer! I'm on my 4th attempt, and it seems to be humming along now! Good Job!


Added Another One
Tuncer (IMG) February 11 - 5:31 PM

Replaced on of the IMG Pro links with another. Please try that one.


arrrrg!
Hobeaux February 11 - 5:09 PM

the new mirror died after 30MB. Gah!

someone please post a bit torrent link!


Yee-haw!
Shagz February 11 - 5:03 PM

Downloading as I'm typing....Thanks IMG for getting links up and running! Now I just have to wait....kinda like watching water boil.....


Faster Mirror
Tuncer (IMG) February 11 - 4:47 PM

A faster mirror has been added to IMG Pro. Please use that one! Another coming up shortly after this one.


UT2k4
Narles February 11 - 4:38 PM

You're doing a great job IMG! I bet this is a busy night for all of you. Keep up the good work!


Bit Torrent?
Hobeaux February 11 - 4:30 PM

I want a bit torrent link. gimme gimme!


Links
Tuncer (IMG) February 11 - 4:27 PM

Hey guys, we're adding more mirrors as fast as we can. We got the demo about 15 minutes before it was supposed to go live :(

In any case, we'll have a few more Hot Download mirrors shortly.


Vash February 11 - 4:27 PM

Yea, I tried the MGF link twice, both times it quit around 12mb, it was going very slowly too...about 40kb/s


Exclusive
Lance Moody February 11 - 4:26 PM

An added feature is that it gets slower and slower.


Exclusive
Lance Moody February 11 - 4:21 PM

My exclusive download from IMG continues to DL some and then quit...about what I expected.

Lance


deckels February 11 - 4:15 PM

oh, and WOOT!


deckels February 11 - 4:14 PM

the hot downloads link isn't connecting for me, but the MGF one is. Maybe it was just busy.


Careful with the link.
Stan February 11 - 4:11 PM

You have to select save linked file to Download... My browser didn't how to handle the *.bz2 file extention....


Woot!
halprin February 11 - 4:11 PM

WOOT!
