  • G400 TurboGL Problems in Q3...

    Has anyone else had a problem with a flickering white screen being the only thing visible when starting Quake 3? I've had the same problem on two seperate machines--one of which I was able to get around by trying *every* available version of powerdesk, and finally settling on 5.41. That was on a dual-Xeon 500 box (a friends). Now I'm trying to get it to work on my machine (K7-800), and I'm not getting anywhere. It's very frustrating not being able to use the TurboGL drivers...

    welcome aboard Funky T!
    those 5.41 drivers are fairly old now. with the latest 6.10 drivers being just as fast as turbo GL, why not use it & remove the turbo gl from the Q3 directory.
    if I remember correctly, if you want to use turbo gl with Q3, then a specific order must be adhered to for it to work(don't flame me if my dementia starts acting up).
    1) start the game & exit with resolution of 800x600
    2)insert turbo gl into games directory
    3)restart & exit game using 800x600 resolution

      Also, is your "friend" aware that his dual-xeon isn't doing him a lick of good under Win9x?

      I'm the least you could do, oh yeah

      I would still get screwed

        Good point, Gurm ...

        Maybe he got too much money on his hands to let one CPU idle all the time ?
