I installed urbanterror, which pulled in quake3-bin and quake3-bin-teamarena. When I tried to run urbanterror, it fails silently. So I went to run quake3-bin and quake3-bin-teamarena separately, just to see what's up. Turns out they refuse to run in the first place. I get the same failure when attempting to run either quake3-bin binary. Here's the output: $ quake3-bin-teamarena Q3 1.32c linux-i386 May 8 2006 ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /home/myuser/.q3a/missionpack /opt/quake3/missionpack ./quake3.x86/missionpack /home/myuser/.q3a/baseq3 /opt/quake3/baseq3 ./quake3.x86/baseq3 ---------------------- 0 files in pk3 files Running in restricted demo mode. ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /home/myuser/.q3a/demota /opt/quake3/demota ./quake3.x86/demota ---------------------- 0 files in pk3 files ----- CL_Shutdown ----- ----------------------- ----- CL_Shutdown ----- ----------------------- Sys_Error: Couldn't load default.cfg This is on a fresh install of the game. I'm already in the games group; all other (non-quake-based) games installed work just fine. Not really sure what to make of this.
