Yesterday I had my first few games of Quakeworld (and I'm CRAP). I
honestly don't know what people are complaining about when it comes to
speed. I find a ping of 200 is fine!

Anyway, I noticed Quakeworld's graphics, sound and input run a lot
smoother than standard Quake, due to the DirectX support. Is there any
kind of patch to make Quake support DirectX? What does Display Doctor
A/F do?

I've got a Matrox Mystique (non-220) with 4mb, and a (gasp) Cyrix 166+
(I know I know I know...).

Thanks,


BrucieMoose
