Quake3World

I don't understand why it's doing this but sometimes I click to join a server or I ctrl + v an ip in the console and it'll go straight to the awaiting connection box and then I'm in. But other times it goes through a whole process of going to the awaiting connection screen, then the screen goes momentarily black, then a Q3 type script box, (the one in my screenshot) pops up, then it goes back into the green loading game/initialising menu screen and then finally it goes back into the awaiting connection box and connects me.

I just loaded the game and every server I tried went straight to awaiting connection screen and then connected me. Then I quit the game and reloaded it and every server I tried did this other thing. I've even reinstalled the game, having saved all my relevant configs and files, and it did this even before transferring my configs over. Before reinstalling, it was sometimes worse. It would do: awaiting connection, script box, loading screen, script box, loading screen, awaiting connection, finally, I'm in! Wtf?

yep, happends to me a few times too, especally when connecting to the q4w server.

Ah, not just me then. I did a process of elimination. It doesn't appear to be a pb thing either as I tested it on pb and non pb servers. It's not the no DVD patch either, because it does the same with the DVD's original exe. It's not my autoexec.cfg because removing that made no difference, and it's not my tweaked quake4.cfg as it still did it with the default config. Maybe just a bug?

i think its the game switching modes, like it used to do in q3 when you loaded a mod...

thats all i took it as, and the fisrt time it freaked me out a little too

this only happens to me when i have seta demo_enforceFS "0" set to "1" .. i started messing with it to try to fix that one demo that gets the black test textures, but it had this side effect....oh, and it didn't fix that demo, lol.

Ah well, unfortunately mine is set to 0. Was hoping it was set to 1 and I could change it.
On a side note, I just got my first 'rampage'. 3 consecutive rails :icon31:
