Hi,

I was able to download Quake2 evolved. It's now available here;
ftp://65.30.181.223/quake2/Kazoo/q2e_v0[1].26.zip


The link to the weapon pickup doesn't work. Can you upload or
otherwise send it?

Best,
Tom

I have the exact same problem on my computer with winxp pro.  With the
standard 3.20 version of quake2 just like you.  I haven't figured out how to
cure it yet.  I do notice that as long as I don't exit the game, the saves
seem to work.. But once I exit and then try to load a save game I get that
same error ;o(

it works fine on all of my other computers and os's

You have indeed. Thank you.

I will look at that but I have a sneaking feeling it is identical to the
patch EXE on the CDROM which is the full patch of 3.20 including CTF. A text
file explains that it is necessary to run the patch if either of the mission
packs are installed after 3.20. I did try applying that in the vain hope it
would make a difference but no.

> We have a vast supply of quake2 releated files here:

I will have a look.

I have been poking around, reasearching the problem.  It seems that the
"function pointers have moved" has multiple causes:

(i)   One is if you install the mission packs. But that is cured by using
the patches to update (or rebase).
(ii)  The other seems to be growing evidence that this problem occurs on XP.
I have seen quite a few people say that even if they use XP's compatibility
mode, it still does not work.
I am going to systematically check this out. XP can emulate 95 and 98 and NT
4.0.

That would be fun. At the moment life is a little unstable as I am looking
to move. When the dust settles, I will have a new place with all mod-cons
regarding PC's and I am sure I will be active :-)

That is right. That is my experience.
I am going to experiment tonight with XP's compatibility modes to see if I
can get it to work.
I know people have said that not even XP's compatibility modes fix the
problem but I would still like to try all combinations.

I would also like to run some tests on the attributes of gamex86.dll to see
if there are any that can be set to alter how XP loads it.

Yup.

> it works fine on all of my other computers and os's

Interesting. I did have a Win 2000 PC but the hard disk went to disk heaven
:-(, it would have been interesting to see if Win 2000 would run it.

I still have some laptops running older versions of  Windows, I will have to
try it on these.

Cheers

I have had some feedback from a gut called Andrew on PlanetQuake.
This is to do with base addresses of DLLs under Windows XP

Apparently he reports that some people have reported that they _do_ have the
Quake2 problem if they have not fully applied all the patches from Microsoft
for XP. I have not done this at home (because I am offline).

So you need to start IE, Click on Tools, Windows Update, Scan for Updates,
let it do its work and apply all critical updates.

Mine is fully updated, and always is.  Thanks for the update though.

And you still have the problem?

(I am trying to work out if there are other reasons other than what has been
reported as to why this problem comes up. I shall be back online at home
(but not until I have applied the RPC patches so I don't pick up Blaster and
Sasser) and do all updates). So I shall be in a position to see if it works
or not). If not, then I shall be fishing around for other reasons...

I was fully patched before I every tried to play.  And I keep it updated and
the problem still occurs
