Quake 2 problem
« on: November 21, 2002, 09:00:03 PM »
I am having some weird problem on my A1200 when playing Quake 2  online.
The fact is when i connect to an online game with Quake 2 and i put it in
the software render, everything is fine.

But if i play Quake 2 online (quake2.xs4all.nl) in the hardware render
(wich runs a lot faster and looks a lot better ofcourse) The game hangs
within 30 seconds.

I tried every option, i even disabled all my hack's and patches but the problem
remains the same.

So i hope altough the game is still very new some ppl maybe have a few good ideas.
I have the official hyperion Q2 version.

my A1200 config is: Blizzard PPC with 040/25+603e 240Mhz ppc+Bvision,
                    128 MB RAM,ariadne II,zorro IV+mediator PCI ZIV
                    No pci cards inserted and mediator ZIV is not installed ATM.
                    Amiga OS 3.9 with genesis (OS 3.9 version) with bb1+2 installed.

Hope somebody can help me

Hi cap,

I tried to run Quake 2 in a variety of resolutions i used:  320*240*16 and 640*480*16  and 800*600*16
and also 384*512*16 (a custom res i made coz it fits exactly in the 603e ppc cache)

i did not try 1024*768*16 coz it is not playable with a bvision gfx card (800*600*16 is already way to heavy for the bvision)

and a note for slim jim: Thx for the tip man! i will go and try as soon as i get home back behind my miggy's (i also have a A4000 with CSPPC and voodoo3 :)

btw Q2 runs very very very smooth on the A4K  with full options :)
