Q3A video problems...

Post by KaotiK009 »

I don't know what it is but having problems with Q3A. When I load it.. I get a bunch of little green dots everywhere on the screen and alot of random parts of the game jump around. A bunch of triangle or arrow like things move around all over the screen and it's hard to see what I'm doing. Any suggestions? I'll post a snapshot or a demo if needed.

Sounds like a video card problem. Check your card to make sure it's not overheating or anything. Try updating drivers. You may also want to post your PC specs.

Windows XP SP2...
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
1.84 GHZ
1GB of RAM

GeForce FX 5900XT 128mb
ForceWare version, 175.19

DirectX9.0

It used to do this awhile ago but only after I played along time and as if it started to over heat... so I had to restart the computer and everything was fine... but it's been about 4 months since I've played q3a and I've deleted q3a and a bunch of nvidia stuff.... Maybe theres some drivers or some setup I need to fix?
