I need some help here

[Caged Anger]

i just bought Q3A, and now I'm gettin the same problem i've gotten with other games. I play once, close it, then try to play again and it crashes, complete, utter, freeze/crash. The only way i can play again is if i restart the computer. I know i shouldn't have to do that and My Radeon 9000 was just bought last august. I'm pretty sure i'm usin the latest drivers for the card too so, what's goin on? :bandhead: :WTF:

(note:i haven't been able to DL the 1.32 patch yet as it takes 2 hrs, 25 minutes :wacko: to get it.)

I'm thinking it might be an open GL problem because it only happens in games that start by having a box with start up info pop up. Like in Q3A. if anyone can help, i'd be most gracious and try to make it up to them. (I could make a really good sig.)

That use to happen to me with some games too. I put more memory in my computer which fixed the problem. I would assume you probably have ample memory, so that's kind of odd. :WTF:

Update your sound drivers as well. Also try different versions of video drivers. Might want to update directX as well even though Q3 uses openGL.

ok, i got the latest version and found out that the problem was it constantly tried to dial up a connection which made it freeze. Now I'm having trouble jus playing multiplayer. It won't let me join any servers. Asks me for my CD key then says I need to get updated Punkbuster drivers. That and for some odd reason, the check for updates feature won't connect.

Hey Caged have a look at this LINK (http://www.gamemecca.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=15144), get that file and let Punkbusters update and we'll take it from there if you are still having problems

he have PR 1.31, so no punk buster needed

[Caged Anger]

the punk thing updated, had to find a .exe. Now if i can just figure out how to get PR .31 installed, i&#39;ll be all set, but from what multi I&#39;ve played so far, i lag down something awful. I thought it would be better than sam, but maybe not.
