I recently switched to Nobara and I’m currently trying to get everything to work. I’ll be a bit spammy here looking for help, I hope that’s ok.

Today I would like to install my retail version of Unreal Tournament 2004 that came on a DVD. I got the installer for the native Linux version to run and copied over the latest patch. But when I try to run the game i get ./ut2004-bin-linux-amd64: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to install libstdc++ through dnf and got

Package "libstdc++-15.1.1-2.fc42.x86_64" is already installed.
Package "libstdc++-15.1.1-2.fc42.i686" is already installed.

In /root/lib I habe a libstdc++.so.6

Does “.so.5” mean I need version 5. How do I get the version Unreal Tournament 2004 wants?

Or would it be easier to use the Windows version through Wine?

Looking in the aur libstdc++5-bin package it’s getting it from Debian pre-compiled: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libstdc++5

I don’t know about Nobara, but if isn’t available there you can get the library from the same source and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load that library.

That helped. Thank you very much! Crashes everytime I try to switch to fullscreen though, I’ll play around with it for a bit, hopefully I’ll figure it out.
