hey all,
im going insane, Quake 3 Arena [Q3A] wont work. it seems to be a video problem. Installation goes fine... openglsetup goes fine.... startup of game goes fine... but around 5 secs in moving around, it locks up, and gives me one frame/previous frame, and repeats like that for ages until i restart. im using a Nividia TNT2 m64.
I tried uninstalling opengl drivers because some buddys said they never installed them, and they play Q3A fine... no problems, after i uninstalled the drivers i tried playing it gave me this message in that blue screen....
