And so it is in Gen as well.
Tek: What's even stranger is when I got blown up by a Strogg rocket as a spectator back in .99d. I put a statement in the damage call function to completely ignore spectators, so in theory that should not ever happen again.
Last night playing Q2 was rather fun. I railed a guy out of the air and I got called a hacker, despite the fact that I was not in the lead. I also got called a "noob" repeatedly for going for the powerups on Q2DM3. Funny, but I thought they were there for a reason. It's not my fault nobody else seemed to want them at the time!

The usual problem with running Quake 2 under WinXP is getting it to install. XP doesn't like to autorun the installer, so you have to explore the contents of the CD and manually start it up. Not a major problem.  Just be careful that you don't accidentally disable DirectX in the window that pops up when it tries to autorun... I think I witnessed the lava-discharge-survive thing, Pho. I know I saw something like that, and though it was incredibly odd...  |

since the one in your quake 1 is outdated GK: No the reason is that the opengl32.dll in the quake directory is for 3dfx cards. just delete or rename opengl32.dll in your quake folder..no need to copy the opengl32.dll from your windows directory since it will be used anyways. And i have no problems running quake 2 on my windows XP puter. but i am using the latest q2 patrch |

For Quake 1 I'd recommend using Q2K4. It interpolates models. So does MHQuake. http://www.planetquake.com/retroquake/mhglqr6.htmAnd it doesn't have that clipping bug on E3M3, either.  |

Quake 2 Evolved and Quake 2 Max are both excellent source ports for Quake 2, but I recommend that you make sure you have the lastest patch installed for Q2 and the mission packs. It can lead to odd save game behavior otherwise.

I got around to playing classic QW DM, and I've got to say: You die MUCH faster than in Gen or Slippy-only DM. Even faster than when quadwhoring dualgat-spammers are on the server!  I got around to playing Q2DM and RA2, as well. Why do the weapons feel so unresponsive? |

Today in abandoned base, Pho and I were fighting in the water... I went to shaft discharge, and according to the console somehow I died from my own shaft, and from pho's BFG simultanously! Also I think it said Pho was killed by my shaft, but I don't think he actually died. Wierd.
Also I was fighting someone else, they ran out of ammo and started using the blaster, and I went in and did a point blank rocket blast. Somehow, the other guy died from my rocket, then I died from my own rocket, then I died from the blaster. It was wierd cause I remember blowing myself up, seeing the "Gnam got bored with life" message, and simultanously hearing "HUMILIATION" then seeing the blaster message.
Maybe it's blip-outs in my conn causing replication errors. I was getting lots of split second ping spikes.
