i used a very old riva128 before and winquake works fine on it(although there is only 60 fps on 400*300 and 85 on 320*240), now i have finally got a tnt2pro, but winquake(and the whole windows) crashes whenever it starts, the screen goes black and windows stops responding, nothing else happens even if i pressing ctrl+alt+del. i swear hat the display drivers are installed correctly because quake2, glquake, half-life and other games are all running fine, also i m using win98. can someone help?

Try winquake -dibonly.
Fr3nPosted - 4 December 2001 20:47 PST
or winquake +vid_mode 0

i have win 98, tnt2 and winquake goes ok. if all else fails reinstall :)
btw i have only had one set of dodgy video drivers (but they were leaked drivers :) )
like in quake 2 all the colours were totally stuffed with lots of purples and crap like that

I have similar problems with my TNT2 (if this is the real reason) - but only if I run WinQuake in fullscreen mode a resolution different from the one I'm using in Windows. After some time (9-15 seconds) it continues loading WinQuake as usual here btw, and when I use vid_mode 12 (1024*768) or run it windowed (vid_mode 0-3 I guess) I don't have any problems at all.

Quake is a bitchy game.

If I exit DosQuake on vid mode 11 (640x400), most times it crashes. So I have to exit by minimizing it (alt+tab), right clicking on the windiw, and hitting close. Oh, and I have to set vide mode 0 before I do that, or it can screw up too.

WinQuake gives me no problems at all here.

I hate to say it, but this was about a WinQuake problem, not DosQuake.

For f*ck sakes Ingmar, SO WHAT? Can't I just give my opinion on the matter? or add another comment? If they bother you, don't read them, but don't give me your usual shit.. I don't think I deserve that.

Well ok you are right, this was pointless. Sorry.

Rolle: I had the same problem.. until I tried something sick. allocated 300 meg ram for winquake and it worked, didnt crash.. then 200.. then 100.. then 60.. and I had normal winmem again and quake still worked as it should.. :P (Mine stopped working when I got a GeForce too).. blah.. this isn't logical in any way but it works. for me.

Rolle, I had this problem too. Using
winquake -dibonly fixed it for me. It
renumbers the videomodes though, 320x200
becomes vid_mode 12 I think.
