I have an Amdk6-2 400mhz computer with 160mb of RAM and virtual memory locked at 150 in Win98 and the Quake 2 version 3.20 freezes my computer after about 5 minutes of playing. I have a Rage Pro Turbo video card with 8mb of video memory. I have the latest drivers for it. Can anyone help, i love this game but can't play it because of this.

I have the exact same video card and it sucks *** for playing quake and any other high graphics game! Try reinstalling the game and see if that helps. See if there are any conflicting devices in the device manager. Did the game freeze up before you upgraded to version 3.20? does this happen when playing any other games?

This video card is on the board as far as I know and it only happens when I play this game. This has happen without the 3.20 upgrade, amd upgrades, using the cd or even using the complete install of 400mb. I have even tryed lowering the resolution but didn't help. I have yet to use just the software mode but it looks very sucky.

havent had a problem???Make sure you have the latest drivers. They make a huge difference. I run UNREAL at 800/600 and never have to use Software Renderer...Looks like **** with using that!!Game plays great???Try the drivers...
