Never had a problem with Doom 3 of any kind. I actually changed to EGL and it works great. Sorry, I meant "interesting posts on the widescreen forum site". My old overclocked ATI 9800XT would have lots of white and red dots with doom3 cos it overheated and was rubbish. It sounds like u have issues with ur GPU if ur getting artifacts like that. Widescreen? no i posted on win7 failing at Q2 binaries. Any other weapons you picked up were gone. It works well enough and has improved sound, but I notice that no matter where you save it always puts you back at the start of whatever level you were on with only the blaster pistol. I changed every possible setting but gave up on it (a shame, it made Q2 nice and shiny). I tried KMQuake yesterday, but all the blood and explosions looked like red, white, and yellow squares. Interesting post on the widescreen issue. net port (its ♥♥♥♥) it works under software mode I had to go into the cfg files though to modify it: Steam\SteamApps\common\quake 2\baseq2\config.cfg and modify the line: set gl_driver "opengl" to set gl_driver "software"ĮDIT3: That link solves all ur Win7 Issues. Quake 2 isnt running in windows 7(I just upgraded a week ago). vmwares player has opengl extensions and new processors should be able to run it full speed, and reports of it working in software mode in virt pc xp mode.ītw I used to run hotwires ctf back in the day.

When I tried to run it in software rendering, it always crashes. I have gotten it to run, but I dont use OpenGL I just use the software mode. It ran just fine under Vista, but it crashes with Win 7. IIRC there might be a /etc/nf to configure a few settings, but that may be redundant in modern clients (I've not touched q2 under linux for 10 years).ĭon't forget to update your install to the latest version (for both Windows and Linux) if you plan to play online.Īnyone has any luck running the old-school Quake 2 with OpenGL on Win 7? To install, you just copy the same files you've copied to install your Windows install, and add the linux binaries. You should be able to find a whole load of updated quake2 clients that work better on modern linux installs than the old binaries from id. There are native linux binaries (and source) for Quake 2, so you don't need to run it through wine. Running Quake II under Windows 7 2/12 1:01am So if there is anyone out there who has done this, I sure would appreciate any help that you can give.
