I did a fresh install of Q3 after un installing it and removing hopefully all the files. I did the last patch downloaded from id's website. When I click on multi-player and get a list, I join a game. After 40-59 seconds, Q3 just freezes up. I have to his crtl-alt-del and use the taskmgr to end Q3 This happens everytime. I have a legal cd, store bought and the key ect. If I play single player, it freezes again in the same way. If I unplug the internet cat 5, I can play all day in single play mode but not the internet because the cable is in plugged. If I plug the internet cable back in, in single player or multiplayer in about 60 seconds the game freezes up again. I have no idea whats going on. Does anyone have the answer? Thank you |

I forgot to ad when I first installed Q3 for the first time, I had no problem. When I do a backup, I don't just backup, I clone the drive with acronis. I don't know if quake installed files to a set place on the hard drive and if Q3 looks for the same place? My other Q3 server on another computer works fine if I play from that computer. I do not have both computers on the same cable modem, I have two seprate cable modems with there own ip's Any ideas why Q3 locks up please. Thank you |

Have you tried fixing the problem (which also involves posting in the right forum section)? Sounds like either a driver/hardware issue, not related to Q3's configuration. |

I turned off punk buster, same problem. I also a message that I was useing the demo version of Q 3 and I keep getting a warning message before Q3 crashes that says pbags.dll can't be found. I have uninstalled Q3, removed the directory's and reinstalled it with the same problem. |

try -update your video card drivers -delete your q3config.cfg in your baseq3 directory then restart quake3 if no go -update all drivers for motherboard, cpu etc |

Thank you!!! I delete your q3config.cfg and I am able to stay online. The only thing left is a error message saying punkbuster server error loading arean\pb\pbags.dll The server I set up on another modem has punk buster turned off and I have it turned off on my computer. At least I'm back on line, Thank you |

After I exited the game to post it worked, I went back online and it started locking up again after 30 seconds. The file q3config.cfg is no longer in the base directory. I saved a copy to the desk top. I am going to put in another drive and reinstall fresh tomorrow. Anyu other ideas are welcomed. TY |

Hopefully this will be my last question. I am running a dedicated server and I can't figure out to have the maps change when the game ends. Would you please send me the config file and where it needs to go. Thanks |

People come here for help then the name calling starts. Why have a help tech page if name calling is the answer. |

I guess I was frustrated, I can't find anyone who has a config file that will rotate the maps in my dedicated server. I am stuck with one level at a time. I had a brain injury so I forgot a lot and it's just so dam frustrsating. ID software could give a rats ass even though I bought two legal copy's one for the server on a seprate modem and one for this computer with this modem. The people I us to know have moved on. Thank you. |

it's in the link obsidian posted earlier; Quote: The last few lines of this example set up a simple map rotation:
set d1 "map q3dm1 ; set nextmap vstr d2" set d2 "map q3dm2 ; set nextmap vstr d3" set d3 "map q3dm3 ; set nextmap vstr d1" vstr d1 |
