I had the same problem with glquake1 for 3dfx
Maybe after the first time the drivers are sorta still in use by the game?
If I run a different game and run it a second time it works(glquake - not glqw)
OK so im not much help but ure not alone with the problem and neither is q3. Probably drivers/card then.

And a Merry Christmas to you too Crash

Well I finally got Gl extensions working for my v3, and yes it was downloading the latest drivers that fixed it.

QUAKE 3 IS SOOOOOO PRETTY!!!!

ere a good way to check if its overHEATING is to slap a MARSHMALLOW on it,

and if it cooks nice a juicy on the inside yet crispy and crunchy on the outside YOU'LL then know its over heating !

Crash it's not a question of what drivers. You have a TNT so if you have problems go to the TNT website, check for new drivers and download them. Also check for any mention of a similar problem to yours. The download will have an installer if it's any good at all or at the very least intructions. The drivers you get with a Video card purchase will almost always be out of date so it's always worth checking it out immediately.

marauder · 20-12-1999 3:40pm

Run GLSetup that came with Q3, its one of the options on the installer menu....

Cr^sH · 20-12-1999 6:12pm

Well Muso ure solution infact cost my problem to start out with really...It used to happen the ODD time but then i downloaded the drivers from the TNT site..and then everything sorta ****ed up the drivers Sickyboy suggested are actually excellent..they have it werking now..but it cosed a problem with QUAKE 1 when i play q1 and then when i come out everythings big and gray then i have to run quake 3 and quit again and everythings fine and Dandy!, I didnt want to run GL setup..i've heard it wouldnt fix my problem and its meanty to be HELLA buggy etc..and installing that on top of the other drivers might **** something up so..anyway the drivers Sickboy suggested does the job whoever has the same problem or similar

thanks SB..and all the others that have tried to help.

Merry Christmas!
