ut2004 Linux ARM installer: Failed to enter Entry: Can't find file 'Entry'

[mcgavinp]

ut2004 install script appears to correctly install without errors on several Linux ARM SBCs, including a Radxa Dragon Q6A, an Orange Pi 6 Plus and an Orange Pi 5 Plus.

But ut2004 immediately fails to start on all those ARM SBCs with:

Failed to enter Entry: Can't find file 'Entry'

History: UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine

Exiting due to error

On the other hand, ut2004 installs and runs just fine on a Linux Radxa-X4, which has an Intel N100 CPU.

Help, please, Peter McGavin.

There is currently a known bug with patch Preview 9 where the Default.ini provided with the patch has an incorrectly capitalised path.

See OldUnreal/UT2004Patches#217

This will be fixed in the next version. In the meantime, you can manually correct both your Default.ini (in SystemARM64) and UT2004.ini (in ~/.ut2004/System).

Cool! Thanks! Yes, changing:

Paths=../maps/*.ut2

to:

Paths=../Maps/*.ut2

in ~/.local/share/OldUnreal/UT2004/SystemARM64/Default.ini immediately after installing and before starting for the first time worked.

I worked around this issue this way (this also works if the game has already been launched):

(from ut2004 root directory)

ln -s Maps maps

(this works because it creates a symlink, so that Maps and maps is the same)
