Hey Quakers. (how come I get image of you all with big black hats and wooden computers?) I took a look at the Evolution Mod that everyone is raving about. Looks GREAT on website! Prob is, I can't get the darn thing to run! d-loaded the 0.26 vers from fileplanet (twice!). I put everything in the right place, sure of that. When I click on the q2e.exe though.. I get a memory addressing error. something about read didn't work and one address pointing to another. I'm running WinXP Pro, pentium3 1GHz, 512MB RAM, GForce 4 MX440 everything way over spec I think. Anyone have an idea? I tried searching the forums for answers. Hard to search for 'xp' though, too short. Havn't found anything yet, so thought I'd ask you good people. Thanks for any help. -DreadDave

Hi DD,
I ran a qe2 (v.26c 04/26/2004) dedicated server for 6 hours last Friday
with no problems, other than an unrelated broadband issue (since fixed).
I'm running XP Home. Do you have the latest version of q2e?
G.

I'm running a GeForce 2 card and don't get the problem. G.
