Thanks for the help guys. I went ahead and took back that cheap optical mouse I bought from Walmart and am going to order the Logitech MX518 online. I'm currently using my old roller ball mouse right now and when I am playing my weapon switches on me when I'm not even wanting to change it!!! I have ...

Before you invest though, are you using your mouse on the USB or PS2 port? If PS2, try swapping to USB if possible.

Yeah. It's a PS2. I noticed the Logitech's use USB.

Black, textured surfaces give the best reponse on a red-beam optical mouse. Second to that, a veneer wood desk surface works admirably too. If updating your drivers doesn't help matters (there should have been drivers/software on a CD that came with your mouse) then you may simply be limited by the...

i dont know. I like the simplistic, easy-to-use, reliable logitech mouses Do you have MX518 work well? I ask that because it seems to be popuar? And how do people play on a black textured surface? I turned my mousepad upside down because it's black texture and I can barely even move the mouse!! How...

also make sure you have the correct drivers installed. but yea, get a non-shit mouse. I don't think I have ever updated my drivers. Ever. This can't be the case though because before I got the optical, it was running just fine. But I am tempted to update drivers just because it COULD improve my opt...

The quality of your mouse probably has something to do with it. Here are some things you can try. What type of surface are you using the mouse on? If you are using it on a lighter color surface that could cause some problems also a reflective surface is bad too. Try a dark colored non-reflective su...

I bought an optical mouse, it's a Micro Innovations (yeah, it's cheap) and when I play q3a and am shooting at my opponent, my mouse, will just out of nowhere, spaz out and be pointing straight up for no reason at all. I know it's not the server I play in (because it's always near flawless) or my rat...

had you already tried running the game straight after installing it?

Ah, ok.

I can't even load the game, and it gave me the same error message before I installed 1.32 patch.

if you uninstalled then it should've deleted the files, folders and registry entries for you. it'll leave behind a config (because the file was created after the installation) but everything else should be pretty much gone. when you say you've got 1.32, did you install the full 1.32 and then a litt...

I think my game is messed up. I did install q3demo few days ago because I was craving for some Quake 3 and couldn't find my q3 cd until today. I think maybe somewhere, somehow the the full version is getting mixed up with the q3demo. I uninstalled the demo, deleted the folder and its registry files...

looks like you're trying to connect to a server with an older point release. try a server running 1.32 I have 1.32 installed What he means is that the server you are trying to join is probably not running 1.32. No I am not trying to connect to any server. I'm trying to load the game is what I'mt ry...

Anyone?? =(

What does "User Interface is version 4, expected 3" mean? This means your quake.exe isn't compatible with the currently installed Point Release. The only solution is to remove all pak*.pk3 files, except for pak0.pk3, and then reinstall the latest Point Release. I think my game is messed u...

I have 1.32 installed

When I double click the Quake III Arena icon I get the following error message. http://www.hostmypiconline.com/images/q3error.jpg I have point release 1.32 installed incase pic doesn't show up for whatever reason: http://www.hostmypiconline.com/images/q3error.jpg My vcard is XFX PVT43GND Geforce 660...

How frickin' weird! Changing my rate from 35000 (default) to 25000 has fixed my ping! Holy shit lol. Thanks for helping.

These are considered "standard" settings for broadband users: seta rate "25000" seta snaps "40" seta cl_maxPackets "125" seta cl_packetdup "1" seta cl_timeNudge "-12" seta cl_allowDownload "0" seta cg_smoothClients "0" ...

I usuaully average at 50-90 (the highest) ping. It's not like I'm in a New Zealand server or anything like that. I'm in a server where I know I always ping atleast decent 50-60ish. I don't have timenudge on or any cmds that will rise my ping. I have uninstalled the game twice now. I have no current ...

I don't understand why my ping is so high now. It goes from 150 to 280 to 390!!! It's never done that before, it might if I'm dling something or have something running but I don't play if I have other programs running. This is just strange, i'm in a server where I play all the time and I've always p...

I uninstalled Quake III Arena to reinstall for fresh start. And now my ping is sky high! 200's-300's ping. It can't be my internet because everything else is working fast like normal. And unfortuantly I don't have any other games to test to see if it just might be a connection problem but like i sai...

fat's config is old... prolly has an illegal pov or something. check the console log and it'll say what the illegal cvar is. Yeah figured so. Thanks. Can you have more than 1 .cfg file in your baseq3 folder? Do they all have to be named q3config.cfg? can you name each .cfg differently as long as yo...

I get kicked out because I violated a PunkBuster rule when I use fatality's .cfg

It's kinda weird some places want you to put the .cfg file in your baseq3 folder and some of them in your main quake III arena folder.

and yes my baseq3 folder is in my main quake III arena folder.

how come I don't get any crosshair to go with this cfg?

http://www.planetquake3.net/tweak/tweaked_configs.html

It's the very first config.

I tried ;cg_crosshairsize and it say's it's on and at 24.

Whats notepad format? as long as they end in .cfg it doesnt matter. Note pad just opens all .cfg files from now on. It doesn't effect anything. If you wanted to open the file with another program, just right click the file then click "open with". I did but the file is an unknown file. I a...
