Quake3 v1.30 Final Is Out

You can get the new version 1.3 at FilePlanet or your regular pusher. Mirrors would be good as the hour+ wait will only get worse."

  3. (OT) Something I've always had a problem with... by DarkEdgeX · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I use an ATI Rage Fury Pro 32MB ViVo AGP card, and while playing Q3A (retail) the textures will ocassionally become corrupted and look "funky" (honestly, for lack of a better term-- I'll explain "funky" at the bottom in more detail), but everything will continue as normal (eg: poly's still moving and I can still make out SHAPES of objects). I actually have this problem with more than just Q3A, but other titles (like Emperor: Battle for Dune) appear to handle it more gracefully or atleast update their textures often enough that this corruption lasts only briefly.

    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, was there a solution or work-around to keep it from happening?

    (Definition of "Funky" -- Textures will sometimes keep SOME of their original image, but will have dots or hatches in them (lines dotted through the texture), while other times the colors will become corrupted but everything else remains the same. Usually though, it's a combination of both of these, colors AND texture become corrupted and it never reverts back unless I quit (again, this is only in Q3A that I've noticed so far, Emperor: B4D appears to update cached textures (I assume this is the problem) frequently, so if a texture does become corrupted it's usually updated again within a few seconds.).)

    (Other system specs-- Windows 2000 Server, 1.25GB PC133 SDRAM, Tyan Tiger 133 (S1834D) motherboard, Intel Pro/100S Ethernet adapter, Dual Pentium III 800 MHz processors, SB Live! Value (OEM), various (more than 4) hard drives, and a Promise Ultra100 IDE controller (used in conjunction with the onboard Via ATA/66 controller).)

    Have you people tried Unreal Tournament yet?
    I used to find FPS pointless, but UT realy got me into this gamegenre. The countless mods that come with it make it somewhat more interesting than Q3A. And it's cheaper than Q3A, just buy the Windoze Versoin and get the Linux installer. And the Hardware specs are lower too. Allthough that Tin Box actually IS quite cool... :-)

    Anyone who has quake3 needs to try the Urban Terror TC mod. This thing rocks better then the
    real game, if you ask me. See you in the streets.
