Heya Just brought home the new pc. I want to install q3 and RA3 on it, but I can't remember how (the old rig is now almost 5) As far as I recall, there was a specific sequence for install; Q3, the Pointrelease 1.32, then Ra 1.76 or something like that. Any memory jogs for me? Wewt!!!

No need for a re-install, just copy the old Quake III Arena folder to the new machine and put a shortcut to the exe someplace. Put it on a second drive or partition, and you won't have it getting fooked up when you reinstall your OS. I load all my 'portable' apps and games onto D:\ for just this reason. If you need to do a fresh install, load from the CD, then get 1.32 PR, then get pbsetup.exe. (for servers running punkbuster) http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php If you have to use punkbuster, this will make it a lot less painful to get the latest version. Create an autoexec.exe and put all your favorite settings and binds in it. Some examples here: http://quakefour.net/misc_quakestuff/configs/

Hey Got it installed. How are ya Geribaldi the crazy biker man from King's Cross if I recall? Had that ftp address for years in my bookmarks! Happy fragging! (or not. Very few people still playing it.) I uninstalled Q4, only a few Q3 servers left where I ping half decent. Gonna eventually have to move on, but for me its been a long fun ride. muktheknife®

Out on my bike tomorrow and Sunday trying for 230mph on a disused runway. Should be possible with my 400hp if the engine (and the rider) holds-together :D I only play 3wave ctfs nowadays. Play most nights on xs4all of Jolt Uk servers. XS4all is usually full!
