The only issue was with the Brother print driver, for which I had to install the i32 compat libraries. I also found that UT2004 isn't really working properly any more, but I am not sure whether that is a 32 vs 64bit issue, or because of old/outdated libraries. I think I will probably end out just running it under wine if I decide I really want to play it!
