Will GLQuake work with shareware Quake? + +No, the full registered version of Quake is required. + + + +2. Do I need any other drivers to run GLQuake on Voodoo Graphics? + +Just make sure that the FXMEMMAP.VXD file is in your Windows\SYSTEM +directory and that DirectX 2.0, DirectX 3.0 or DirectX 3.0a are +installed as GLQuake uses DirectSound. The latest version of DirectX +can be obtained from: + http://www.microsoft.com/mediadev/download/isdk.htm + + + +3. I installed GLQuake and try to run the GLQUAKE.EXE file but I get a +"no RGB fullscreen modes available" How do I get GLQuake to run? + +Make sure that your 2D video card is set to 16bit color (65K colors, +not 16 colors). In addition, do not start GLQuake from a full screen +MS-DOS prompt. + + + +4. GLQuake comes up for a little while then drops me back to the +Windows 95 desktop, what's wrong? + +Your Virtual Memory settings on your system should be increased. Open +Control Panel, System - click on the Performance tab and then click on +Virtual Memory. Adjust the settings so that the minimum swap file size +is 80MB. You may also want to delete all the mesh files - do this by +deleting the quake\ID1\glquake directory. + + + +5. Why does GLQuake try to connect to my Internet connection whenever +it starts? + +GLQuake uses Windows networking. Auto-Dial is likely enabled in your +Internet Control Panel or in Internet Explorer Options. Single +Player users: To disable Network use in GLQuake and prevent the +network connection screen from coming up, add "-nolan" to the +GLQUAKE.EXE command line, example: + GLQUAKE.EXE -nolan + + + + +6. I have a three button mouse, but I can't use or set the middle +button in GLQuake, what's wrong? + +To use a three button mouse with GLQuake, your Windows mouse driver +must support three buttons. Use the Logitech PS/2, Serial or Bus +driver instead of the Microsoft or Standard PS/2, Serial or Bus driver. +Also, make certain that your Mouse control panel sets the middle button +to "middle" and not "double click". + + + +7. Mouse input seems jumpy, how do I fix that? + +From the console (hit the ~ tilde key), enter m_filter 1 +This option can be added to the AUTOEXEC.CFG file (in the \ID1 +directory). You may also add this option to the GLQUAKE.EXE command +line, example: + GLQUAKE.EXE +m_filter 1 + + + +8. While playing GLQuake the sound stutters, how do I fix it? + +If your sound card does not support DirectSound, you may encounter +stuttering sound during game play. Try adding the following value to +the CONFIG.CFG file (in the quake\ID1 directory): + _snd_mixahead ".14" + + + +9. When I hit ALT-TAB or the Windows start button to switch to another +application why do I return to a 640x480 display? + +GLQuake by default needs to keep the 2D display at 640x480 while it is +running. To return the display to your normal setting you must exit +GLQuake. To prevent this, add the following to the GLQUAKE.EXE command +line options "+_windowed_mouse 1" and "-window" example: + GLQUAKE.EXE +_windowed_mouse 1 -window + + + +10. GLQuake multiplayer can't find other games or won't connect. + +GLQuake uses Windows 95 Networking. Verify that the correct networking +components are installed and that you can connect to the other machine +using File and print sharing or TCP/IP ping. If you are using IPX also +make certain that the frame type is the same on all the systems. + + + +11. GLQuake multiplayer slows down alot, how do I fix it? + +Add gl_playermip 2 to the AUTOEXEC.CFG file (in the \ID1 directory) +You may however add "+gl_playermip 2" to the GLQUAKE.EXE command line, +example: + GLQUAKE.EXE +gl_playermip 2 + + + +12. Does the Activision(r) Scourge of Armagon add-on (Mission Pack 1) +work with GLQuake? + +Yes, start GLQUAKE.EXE with a "-hipnotic" switch. Example: + GLQUAKE.EXE -hipnotic + + + +13. Do other 3rd party quake levels work with GLQuake? + +Not all 3rd party levels have been tested, some may not work properly +or optimally. + + + +14. Will GLQuake use a Voodoo Graphics accelerator under Windows NT? + +The 3Dfx GLQuake drivers currently only work under Windows 95. + + + +15. After installing GLQuake the OpenGL screen savers in Windows 95 +(OEMSR2) don't work. What's wrong? + +The OpenGL Windows 95 screen savers in OEMSR2 will fail if you copied +the OPENGL32.DLL file that comes with GLQuake to your Windows\SYSTEM +directory. The 3Dfx OPENGL32.DLL file only works with Quake. It will +not run with other OpenGL applications. If you copied the 3Dfx +OPENGL32.DLL to your Windows\SYSTEM directory and need to restore the +Microsoft provided OPENGL32.DLL, follow these steps: + + OEMSR2 Users + ------------ + 1) Insert your Windows 95 CD into your CD-ROM drive + 2) Open a MS-DOS prompt, (Click Start, Programs, MS-DOS Prompt) + 3) Switch to the Windows\SYSTEM directory, ie: + C: + CD\Windows\system + 4) At the command prompt, enter: + EXTRACT /A E:\WIN95 opengl32.dll + (Substitute E:\ for your CD-ROM drive letter) + + Standard Windows 95 Users + ------------------------- + 1) Download and reinstall OpenGL for Windows 95 from the source + you previously used. + + + +16. How do I get support for GLQuake + +GLQuake is currently unsupported. You may however find answers to +questions on various Quake dedicated websites. 3Dfx provides a GLQuake +newsgroup on news.3dfx.com (Newsgroup name is 3dfx.games.glquake ) to +discuss GLQuake with other users. 3Dfx also provides a regularly +updated GLQuake FAQ at: http://www.3dfx.com/game_dev/quake_faq.html + + + +16. How do I send a bug report? + +If your problem is not resolved in this document or our updated FAQ +(please see #15) and your bug is related to visual quality, performance +or stability send an email to quake_bugs@3dfx.com - Describe your +system configuration (CPU Type, CPU Speed, 2D Video Card type, Amount +of Memory, Virtual Memory Size..etc.) and how to recreate the bug. + + +Voodoo Graphics is a trademark of 3Dfx Interactive, Inc.
