For those who haven't used lgogdownloader with a GOG AUR package before, here's how you set it up.

Add 'gogdownloader::/usr/bin/lgogdownloader --download-file=%u -o %o' to the DLAGENTS section of /etc/makepkg.conf

For anyone getting the MissingIni error, run innoextract on the UT2004 GOG installer, then copy the ini files from the extracted __support/app/System folder to ~/.ut2004/System and the game should launch without issue (provided you've already added the CD-key, of course). The PKGBUILD should probably be adjusted so the ini's are copied automatically.

Just got CD key from GOG customer support. I've created CDkey in /opt/ut2004/System and ~/.ut2004/System. No success. The same error message as before.

@tomatopaste the CDkey file is required. Historically GOG have provided a key upon request from GOG support, but it might be integrated into the registry as part of the Windows installer as well. I believe it can be installed alternatively into ~/.ut2004/ instead of the system-level directory, but it does need to be in at least one of those places. Double check PCGamingWiki for details.

I have the exact same problem as @grabarz.

I have downloaded the required files from gog manually and moved them into the directory in which my PKGBUILD is located. I verified the checksums.

To complete installation, write your UT2004 cdkey to /opt/ut2004/System/CDkey as root.

The installation prompts to add the cdkey, but as far as I know the GOG edition does not come with one. Hence I did not create that particular file - might be related?

When I try to run the executables in the System folder, I get

$ ./ucc-bin
./ucc-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ ./ut2004-bin

The contents of the ~/.ut2004 folder after running ut2004

1 directory, 1 file

I used yay as an AUR helper, but I get the same issues with using makepkg.

This is the build log: https://pastebin.com/RNeqENL5

These are the contents of the package: https://pastebin.com/ReckDGPc

Same:

@grabarz, unfortunately I'm running out of ideas on what may be the problem on your setup. If you run this manually do you get a different result?

cd /opt/ut2004/System
./ut2004-bin-linux-amd64

This might also be the result of 3D acceleration not being set up correctly on your system. Have you tested 3D acceleration with other apps/games to make sure it's not just software rendering being used?

@grabarz well the package filelist appears to be correct. Can you verify the files are correct on disk: pacman -Qkk ut2004-gog and that your home directory is writable by yourself, specifically the ~/.ut2004 subdirectory where UT stores local user config files?

@jmsq the list of files is here: https://pastebin.com/mEYFLQWd

I will try to reinstall it after cleaning paru cache.

@grabarz unfortunately that output is useless for me as it's reusing the package you previously built:

:: ut2004-gog-3369-3 is up to date -- skipping build

I'd suggest at least cleaning the built pacman package from your paru cache and grab the output of a fresh build (you can save the gog binaries since they're passing the hash checks.)

Alternatively, share the file list of the installed package: pacman -Ql ut2004-gog
