Yo everyone who knows about this if you can help... I have "re-enlivened" my interest in playing Q2 when I ran into the original disc in a box last night, and installed it and then stalled the 3.20 update using the zip file. I use a full install so as not to use the CDROM drive and the game will start it's own "pseudo-play" in software mode, I hit enter or esc to gain the menu for setup, go into video settings set it to 'default opengl' and select a screen rez, sync every frame yes, and tap enter. Then the GUI goes through some motions and the game shuts down while the music continues to play, and the game does not accept any of the settings, very odd, as I have played Q2 on this x800xl card (made by ATI) and on this install of XP home, sp2. These are the openGL drivers that are available in the system 32 folder, I know the trick that one must be in the Q2 root directory but not one of them will make the game work: atioglx1.dll v: 6.14.10.1091 atioglx2.dll v: 6.14.10.6479 atioglxx.dll v: 6.14.10.6479 >>From driver: 7-6_xp_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_48640.exe If I emember correctly the xx one is the one that allowed the game to work last I played. The installation did not include a .CFG file, I no idea why. Can anyone please help out? I would sincerely much appreciate it, -- Giant_Alex not my site: http://www.e-sword.net/
