Helpdesk / Re: How do I access the MIA server? New UT2004 installation on a new PC

I just noticed "Error moving file?"  Is your ut2004 directory write protected? It sounds like it's trying to write into ut2004/cache and failing

That's odd. Please can you send me your system/UT2004.log file?

If it has anything like Roger noted in his post here https://miasma.rocks/index.php/topic,2028.0.html , you could try that same solution.

I reinstalled Unreal Tournament 2004 from my original CD on a new PC, but I can't remember what change I need to make to access the MIA servers. I did it years ago on my old PC, but I don't remember. I hope someone can help me.

Also if you go into ut > join game > right click on background of ut screen then left click on "add to favourites" then cut/paste or type in the addresses from the server page. ie: 80.4.151.145:5777
Will save your mia freon server.

You may want to install the gamespy or something mod to see other servers on the internet as the UT2004 server monitors died the other year. There is a post on this forum about it I think.


Thanks for the info. I've already entered the address you provided in my favorites and my internet connection. I activated it, and it started downloading sounds, but suddenly it aborted: "Downloading package 'Player Sounds 2' failed: Error moving file."  I can't get into any map either.

Thanks for your reply.
Which UT program file should I copy this information to?

I would be interested to see any changed .u files you have, to do a diff on the content. There may be changes that were intended to fix bugs - and I'm always interested in fiixing bugs...particularly if I can do it in a way that helps more people by doing it server-side serveractor or in a mutator that can be pushed to all clents that connect to the server.

That worked, thanks Piglet!

Ill do some checksums from my backup disk later - Pretty sure I have not touched those folders in years. Kinda spooky.

Cheers!

Hi Roger,

It's not that linux clients can't connect, it's that modified clients cannot connect.

If you get the symptoms you describe it means that you are not using retail copies of .u files in your setup. i.e. they have been changed in some way and are not the ones published by Epic. You're trying to run modified versions of the files.

To fix this, and at your own risk, you could try the following:

1. Backup your ut2004 install. If anything goes wrong you need to be able to revert to this
2. Replace the .u files in your install's system directory with retail v3369 versions. I have uploaded these here: https://miasma.rocks/downloads/3369_u_files.zip

Once your copy of the game is running with original v3369 .u files you should be able to connect with no issues.

Dear community -

This is your beloved adversary ROGER! I have not played from some months and would like to play again!

Both i386 and amd64 clients will not connect successfully to the VTCF server and a few other miasma - I can play on omni and few others I tried

my i386 client spews a bunch of 'Received invalid actor class' like -
Received invalid actor class 'HitLocation'
Received invalid actor class 'M'
Received invalid actor class 'Hash'
Received invalid actor class 'MM'
Received invalid actor class 'NewNet_FlakAltFire'
.....
and then segfaults or will hang connecting and I have to kill -9 it

the amd64 client gets
connection failed - Downloading 'SkaarjPack_rc' not allowed

On 1 or 2 of the other miasma servers it will download SkaarjPack_rc, then try again to download, but download very slow. And it still will not work on the VCTF server instance.

deleting Cache did not work

The System/skaarjpack.frt|det|est - I am pretty sure they are the same as the 3369 patch - same bytes and mtime

Want more info?  Any pointers? Do i have to get unlazy and figure it out?

Cheers,
ROGER
