    Quake3 on Win2k? Gurm?

    Hey Gurm

    I think you said that you were able to run Quake3 on Win2k and your G400. Any special settings? Anyone else with Win2k, g400 and SB Live and a working Quake3?

    When I run it, I get a hard lock during the id logo movie.

    Apart from this, my Win2k system is super stable, runs RC5 all night without dropping a heartbeat...

    Does this mean no one is running Quake3 on a Win2000 G400 system?

    "No way dudes!"

      The no replies means that there have been so many posts to the gaming forum that I didn't even SEE your post the first time, how's that for busy?

      Anyway, I didn't do anything special. However, I only tried to run in 800x600, and I may have even been anal and SWITCHED to 800x600x16bpp before starting the game, and then quit and switched to 800x600x32 before running it in 32bit mode. In fact, I think I _WAS_ that anal.

      If only life were as easy as you
      I would still get screwed

        P.S. You're not using the SB Live! "workaround" for Live!Ware 3.0, are you? That would be a problem, since it kills DirectSound compatibility.

            Awright I got it running. The key was r_smp 1, without r_smp 1, q3arena crashed.

            Performance is nothing great, 23.1 fps at 640x480x16 default settings.

            Gurm, what sort of performance do you get?
