Any idea's? im running a 9200 radeon (shit i know) and ive updated to 5.10 drivers and i tryed 5.9's but no help...

Damn a 9200? It's not supported, the 9600 is not even supported. But I'm sure it will still play.

It's probally some console command or something, but how are the fps anyway?

im running minimum spec comp and they are pritty good, had a 3 player edge match going, i was the host and it ran with only minor drops when i was running around with plasma's and rockets everywhere. its playable but not completely enjoyable!

I mentioned the site on the front page, posted a link to the Zombie thread and I also linked DooMer's guide..what do you want more from me, think I should wear a quake3world.com shirt with black socks and go dance in the the streets yelling "linkage"?

I knew it would bring some traffic in here but christ, look what I've unleashed!

Time to bring down the hammer and smash some faces, homos.

I had also linked to the thread on SA. That probably added to the visitor count.

Just watched the movie of the duel on the q2dm1 remake. Things i noticed:

- those guys both suck. :icon30:

- the footstep sounds are annoying, particularly when the player makes small moves/stops/starts running, changes direction. When he's moving forward and adds strafe, it's like an extra set of feet starts making footsteps. Imagine how it would sound when dodging or moving in small cirlces. :icon7: Hopefully it will be possible to disable them (like dmflags 32) on a server.

- the RL seems ok, perhaps the rockets are only a slight tad slower than in Q3.

- the Hyperblaster makes a LOT of noise and sounds more like a heavy machine gun. It seems to be more useful than the one in Q2 though (fast projectiles).

- i like the wireframes that indicate ammo box spawn places.

- the HUD seems reasonably unobtrusive.

- most of the weapon model get much too close to the crosshair.

At least with the fov used in the movie.

- LG ammo is no longer called lightning in a box, but 'batteries'.

the rockets are the exact same speed as quake 3

the math is the same

it's an optical illusion if they look slower to you

You dont liek?

I like the fact that it doesn't have a box around/behind it like in Q3.

Seems very bland to me.

Why Q4 rocks so hard: rockets and nades are teleportable!

And they are affected by jumppads too.
