I dunno, but these guys do. I just wanna know... were you banned because you were putting some serious fr...

Because of QL, alot of the servers on Q3A have started to die down. There are less and less servers everyday.

Also QL doesnt work on IE8.

Excessive Plus :olo:

no mods , or custom maps ..nothing except
the quake3 original files and PR 1.32.
This happens in a regular nonmodded DM server with about 4 players. Nothing custom everything original.

Re: Why does my FPS go down all of a sudden to ~25? and up again

Head and CPU is slowing down? Like I said, this doesnt happen in other games which require alot more power and are also FPS.

My drivers are updated

Again no background applications are running

Yup, Im on Quake 3 1.32

I havent changed anything; Like I said just started to happen one day.

Who thinks Quake Live sucks?

Hey

I played Quake Live yesterday and it has nothing to do with the Quake 3 Arena. It feels similar, it sounds fimilar, it looks similar but nothing to do with Quake 3 Arena. They should have just released it as a 1.33 patch for Quake 3 Arena. What do you think?

How do I improve maps download/upload speed?

Hey

Quake 3 was made back in the 56K world and most connections were not boardband. Whenever I connect to a server and I have to download a map, the max it gets downloaded at is about 15kb. How can I improve this?
