====== UDK on Linux ======

As you might have noted, UDK is not officially supported for Linux. However, the guys from [[http://www.winehq.org/ | Wine]] did a great job and with the latest version I managed to get UDK January 2012 Beta (not any earlier version!!) working. As of now I am able to run UDK server and succesfully connect to it with a bot, fully on Linux. Running the game itself does not work well and if it runs, it is very unstable.

===== Installation =====

It is not that hard a can be done in about 15 minutes (unless you need to compile Wine from sources, which lasts a little longer)

  * Get [[http://www.winehq.org/|Wine]] version 1.4 or later 
  * Get the latest development branch of [[http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/ |Winetricks]]. 
  * Create a fresh Wineprefix.
  * Use Winetricks to install .NET 4.0:  ''./winetricks dotnet40''
    * Some useful info might be found at [[http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17886|Wine App database]] 
    * You might be asked to download file called gacutils.zip
    * Note that (as written in the winetricks output) the installer fails, but that is not a problem
  * Use Winetricks to install DirectX 9: ''./winetricks directx9''
  * Run the UDK installer using Wine

Use only Binaries/Win32/UDK.com to run UDK! (otherwise you will not get any console output that could help you debug)

===== Usage for experiments =====

Class UCCWrapper in the PogamutUDK project was modified so that it can run UDK on Linux with above mentioned setup.
