'ello all, With Quake 4 being released today, I know I have a pretty slim chance of getting this topic noticed, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. :) I just installed Quake on Windows XP last night. It was the latest release(1.09) and came with Quake, WinQuake and glQuake. Of course, I had to update glQuake, pitch the damn opengl.dll thing, etc, but I got it to work. Being relatively new to Windows, I had a little bit of a hard time with that bullshit "command line resolution change" thing that gl makes you do(why couldn't they have let you do this in the game, like the Mac version does?)...but I got past it(found a post talking about creating a text document with the res. change screen, then saving it as ".bat"). My questions are: 1. Can glQuake achieve any higher res than 1024X768? Anytime I try *anything* higher I get something along the lines of "resolution not supported". I was playing Mac Quake at 1280X1024...I find it hard to believe that the PC version couldn't do that same... 2. The sound sampling rate...11025? You've got to be fucking kidding me. Is it possible to jack that up to, at least, 22100 or even(hopefully) 44100? If so, is this something I'd put in the same ".bat" document I had to make up to get glQuake to run in 1024X768? Just in case it's needed, I'm running Windows XP Home Ed., SP2 on a P4 3ghz with 1.2 gigs of ram, a SoundBlaster Live 24bit card and an AiW Radeon 9800. Any help would be most appreciated...I loved Quake back on the Mac, but do to this new monitor I've bought, believe it or not, it simply won't run(the screen and refresh rate change crashes it every time). Am loving Quake on the PC, would just like to jack up the options as much as possible. :) Thanks in advance, Bel
