Quake3World

was suppose to be 6-21-05. Every store in the area (2-Best Buy's, 3-Circuit City's and all Walmarts) claim they had delivery delays and they won't have the game until tomorrow. I bought the pre-order box yesterday and was told the game would be in today. Seems kind of strange that no stores in the area had it.

Yes, almost.


I was wondering if anyone here was able to pick up the retail version today.

all the dates i've been seeing are Jun 23rd..

and i'm not picking it up, not even warezing it

It's in Best Buy here. I've installed it, but it's being an absolute fucking cunt about antipiracy.

It won't load up to play because I have some kind of emulator it doesn't like. I already uninstalled daemon tools, next goes nero. If that doesn't work I'll be making a very angry phone call to cunt central (EA Cunts... err.. Games).

cnd release date is tomorrow, but the shipment showed up in my store today. (street dated ofcourse)

They have it out in some places. Best buy was one of them in late afternoon

Hmmm... I have no problems with it, got 2 alcohol vdrivers running, got dameon tools too, but don't have a vdrive loaded with it.

Game installed fine, then I made an image and loaded it into the alcohol vdrive, so I don't have to have that damn cd in the drive (could of also gone with a crack I suppose, but meh).

Is this a worldwide release date type thing or what?

Just thought of something, when you installed dtools did you change the name of the driver it asks you... instead of defaultscsi or whatever it is, change it to something else like cbscsci. Bastards blacklist the detaulft names... bf2 does this as well.

Appears to not like Nero Image Drive (or sommat).

I'm going to reinstall Daemon tools and see what happens.

Well I picked up my retail copy and I'm installing now.

Well, this sucks. I picked up the full version, switched back to the nVidia drivers that come with the game and updated my audio drivers. The friggin' game still locks up. I can play a little longer now, but it will still lock.
I have no idea what's causing this, so if anyone else has any ideas, let me know.

My specs:
Athlon XP2500+, 1Gb PC2700, 6800GT. My mobo is an ASUS A7V8X-X.

Didn't you have this problem with BF:V also NS...?

Heh.. i blame the asus..

oh.. are you using onboard sound?

Audigy Gamer. And I've wondered about the mobo.

Ryoki, yeah, I think I did have this problem with BF:V, but the bigger problem with that was the random disconnects.

Yank that sound card out and try the onboard..

Someone on the PBF forums just told me to switch the "audio settings" to software instead of hardware. He said he was having the exact same problem and that fixed it.
WTF does it mean exactly to do this? Is the soundcard not being fully utilized in this mode? I ran DXDiag and all the H/W and S/W buffer tests ran fine.

remember the old UT, how you could change it from DirectX to Software Rendering.. same deal with the audio..

Try it..

Never played it, but I'll give this a shot when I get home tonight.

still waiting for my copy to arrive in the mail.
