You are probably using the wrong renderer under video options - it should be default opengl instead of 3dxf blabla or powervr opengl or whatever else is in there. q2e chooses the right render automatically for you.

| Post subject: | Quake 2 runs SLOW in openGL mode |
hi My Quake 2 for some reason runs extremly slow and choppy in OpenGL. however, when i use quake 2 evolution, it runs flawlessly and i'm pretty sure that's openGL too. no?? ive reinstalled but it doesn't fix. ive got the latest patch too. any suggestions? |

quake2.exe (actually ref_gl.dll) has issues with newer ATi drivers and maybe NVIDIA as well. You could downgrade your drivers but that'll have a negative impact on the performance of more modern day engines (like Q2E or EGL). |

Do you have ATI? Now that you mention it, there was a thread on q2 (at raws forum) where raw had a similar problem with slowdowns. There was a console command to fix it I think. This was with vanilla q2. I don't remember it though. It might of been mjrpes that also knew it or suggested it. Paging mjrpes, paging mjrpes.

I don't think it was me, because I've never really played q2. I did have a choppiness problem with q3 after installing a new vid card (going from ATI -> nvidia), and I got that problem solved by reinstalling windows. |

hmm i've checked that. actually i keep it on 120. i don't know what it caps at in Q2, but i keep it there just cause. 
i have my FPS drawn and it ranges from 20-40. |

If you're using the original quake2.exe to play online you should be aware of a catch: the engine sends a snapshot to the server for every frame rendered. So it isn't too hard to flood your uplink. Most newer engines have fixed this, though. |

I think it's set gl_ext_pointparameters "0". The default should be 1. |
