I would just copy the game files from older win and that seems to work nicely.

Fine, there is my looooong time no play vid - Quake 3, 60fps, Hurt me plenty:

Tried to give them hell... Enjoy HD "quality"!
(the original file is uncomparable, yet 11G in size)

Damn. So I'm stuck with these oversized ones?

What can be done?

And is there a way to get Q3 correctly render to 1280x1024 - eg. not missing the 80 pixels or so to the right?

The dafault size of these informations on the screen (1280x1024) are absolutely horific - so huge: http://s11.postimg.org/6qfw3lt03/Quake3_too_big_leters.jpg ...what is the configuration option that bring size of these oversized letters down and disable the score information as well? ...and maybe ev...

Todays I recorded my first demo. No biggie, just on "Hurt me plenty" I learned that is is a bit tougher to play that I expected, but whatever. At the end of second level the Quake III Arena, while playing this demo, crash. I observed this on two computers already, yet before I scream "...

LOL ... yes, screen area can be changed... Good old times, lol

Oh, the r_picmip was it... Thanks! Much nicer now...

Now just how to set Quake III to render to the 1280x1024? Setting the custom width/height did not do a thing. Still part of the screen is missing... It won't scale to the 5:4 ...?

Oh, well, it was something far worser. My GFX card stoped working in AGP mode and prefer now working in PCI mode. Dunno why, but it suxx, of course. Therefore not only Q3, but CoD (1) and SoF2 - all freezed on exit. Reinstall fixed that, hooray! http://s24.postimg.org/t2h9r139x/MSI_PM8_M3_V_6800_GT_...

Since I was in dire need to test some speed and stability issues with SoF2 game, I remember, that it is based on Q3 engine and Quake III can do a "timedemo" (besides bunch of other cool console commands: http://www.joz3d.net/html/q3console.html ), so... So after years I try old good Quake ...

Interesting. ioquake did not work at all for me. And the normal Quake, v1.32c, does work, however it freeze each time on exit :( Also display the 1280x1024 resolution weird: to the right side, there is missing some part of the image, lol. PS. managed it to work, now it working quite fine for me (v1....
