Thanks, now I have another question:
there is a site with comands, variables etc
and i have some variables that i want to load or exec in the game, I'v creeated a text file and passed all the varables in there but when I try to exec the file it says: couldn't exec my config.cfg
(sorry foor my bad English)

make sure the file is saved as config.cfg and not something like config.txt.cfg
just make sure you have show hide extensions for known filetypes unchecked.

Thanks, that worked but It make my gun smaller and on the midle of the screen, any ideeas. I replaced the q3config.cfg with the original one and now its normal but i only have 24-35FPS with vsync off and refresh rate of 85HZ.
Any ideeas on how I could make the game run withat least 50FPS
Here are my curent settings:
in game rezolution 800x600@85Hz
16bit texture deph
high detail
I have a i815EP solano inyrgrated graphcs with 32MB

THANKS

Probably the only way to get more FPS is to run it more ugly.
You can also do a timedemo by dropping down the console (~).
Then type
/timedemo 1
Then type
/demo four
Demo four if your running point release 1.32

You could also give us you specs of your PC.
This is easly done using CPUZ.
You don't have to install the program, just extract it to a folder.
The click on the cpuz application icon.
It'll take a few seconds for it to load.
Once loaded, click on the about tab.
Now click on the HTML report and save it to your desktop.
Now simply upload it so we can see your system specs.
If you don't have any hosting site, I can host it for you, just send it to my hotmail account.

integrated 32mb graphics? eeesh. backup your current config, then remove all instances within the Quake III folder. then, go here and try these configs:

i got better fps than that with a pentium2 and 128MB sdram with a voodoo3. spend $30 and get yourself a geforce2 or something like that off pricewatch or froogle then fix your config and you could have 125fps on most maps.
