quake 3 in my ibook g4

[bkaron]

I know what the problem is, I think.

Reinstall Quake 3, but select the Max install. I think quake is coppy because it's reading off the cd, not your HD. When you perform the max install, you will be putting the whole baseq3 directory onto your HD. So you wont need to play quake with the cd in the drive.

Then search for the newest point release, I don't remember what it is. Just go to version tracker and search for quake 3.

If this is not the problem, than it has something to do with your internet connection, or you could be connecting to slow servers.

Your computer is ok for quake, trust me. I still play quake 3 on my old iMac running OS 9.2

Good luck

When I start posting short, concise posts, then you know something is amiss. Usually I ramble on and on once started on a topic...
