Crashing...

Post by **rhogue islander** » Sat Nov 12, 2005 4:28 am

Gosh, I play some fairly lengthy bouts of Quake3 with my fall '03 Dual 2.0 G5 and rarely if ever crash out of it. I have an ATI 9800 Pro.

The only bug that bothers me is when the server loads a new map and everything is whiteout. I type vid_restart in the console and everything is fine.

Hi NCG_Mike,

How do I uninstall the altivec version of the game ? Do I simply drag all the Q3 folders to the trash, or is there a proper uninstall sequence that I need to go through ?

Cheers,

You should contact Axel Wefers to see if he'll do it.

Just drag the application to the trash and use the non-altivec version instead.

Your system is the same as mine, I guess, except I've only got 64MB of video RAM.

The altivec version used to blow up on my old G4 iMac too. Just try to fire the plasma gun and "poof".

Who is Axel Wefers?

I'd like for to Graeme Devine to tackle it, as he was the one doing it before he left id software....I guess my expectations are a bit high.

I haven't ever sent in a crash report (Q3 or otherwise).

Axel Wefers is the guy who did Quake, QuakeWorld and Quake 2 when they were open sourced. AKA... "Fruits of Dojo".

No need to trash the altivec version - just name it Quake3 G4 or such and then have the standard one in the Quake3 folder as well - I've had it like that since 1.32 came out and switch between them.
