I can't get the GL version to run at all, my machine either locks up or runs at about 1/4 frame per second. I've tried both the Windows opengl32.dll in the Quake folder and in the Windows/System folder, each one separately,both, and neither. I picked up a reference to a specific-to-RivaTNT .dll file that would allow proper operation, but I can't find it anywhere. Tech support from STB is closed for a few days, I'll try them and post the results if they work. BTW, I've tried the latest drivers from STB AND Nvidia plus the latest BIOS from STB as well as the latest bios for my motherboard that was supposed to correct a problem with the motherboard and the Riva chip. None of this has helped either. Also, my AMD system with a 350MHz chip, 64megs 100 SDRAM, and a state of the art 100Mhz bus motherboard will only run 17FPS in regular Quake II and everybody on the net claims 40 or 50 with similar setups. I don't know if the GL setup for Quake II is correct or not, I'm really trying to solve the Quake/GL Quake problem first. Any advice (please make explanations complete) appreciated > -- Thanks, Gary Bucklew Carburetor Injection Specialty Largo, Fl. 33771 -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
