NothingMuchHereToSay Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) I recently got Quake, installed QuakeWorld, it doesn't work properly and it crashes on exit. Computer specs are in my second post. Edited August 20, 2011 by NothingMuchHereToSay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Are you running QuakeWorld?I was surprised to learn that there are still servers up for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothingMuchHereToSay Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 I figured out the problem, I DID need Quakeworld, but now there's a new problem, Quakeworld crashes either on start of a game OR when you attempt to exit, it hangs with nothing happening, even Control+Alt+Delete doesn't work. :/Using Windows 98 w/KernelEx disabled, DirectX8.1 (downgraded from 9.0c), Nvidia Geforce4 Ti 4600, SoundBlaster Live CT4780.

Tripredacus Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 You can try to "get out" of the window by using ALT+ENTER which I "believe" will change Quake into Windowed mode. You can try ALT+F4. As far as your specs (and even QuakeWorld) I don't have any experience in that. I had only used GL WinQuake with the 3dfx patch. I haven't played it since those good old days, except for running it on a Notebook to test a specific Open GL version on Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothingMuchHereToSay Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Apparently I discovered that Quakeworld isn't compatible with Windows 98, only with Win95 and NT4. KernelEx doesn't help either.Thanks for responding anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ah, well there are (were) a bunch of different ways to run Quake in Win98. Besides WinQuake, GLQuake, (or the DOS version) and I'm thinking there was a Quake98 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
