Hi Stephen,
    I believe I've seen you on the doom and heretic groups. Welcome!  Sorry
to hear about your problems,  hope you get them worked out.  You might try
updating q2 from the release:
ftp://65.30.181.223/quake2/scrapple/Patches

We have a vast supply of quake2 releated files here:
ftp://65.30.181.223/quake2/

We sometimes host co-op games on the weekend.   If your interested, join in.
Game ips are posted on the group.  Or just look up co-op games using
whatever online front-end your using.
