Has any mac user been able to run wq3 yet?

Everybody with that error had OS 10.2.4. Is it possible that it's working on a different OS?

this error seems to occour when you try to play in singelplayer or when you try to creat a server. joining a server seems to work. but till now i was not able to play because all the servers are empty!

i'm no q3 expert, but along with installing punkbuster (comes with the 1.32 patch, punkbuster.pkg is put inside the q3 folder and you need to open that) you need to type /pb_cl_enable in the console when you start quake 3 to actually turn punkbuster on. at least that's what i found when i was googling around last night, and it's worked for me.

i'm running in os 10.1.5 and i think i've got all my problems sorted out (except for a few hard lockups, but i get those anyway - only in os x, depressingly - because my computer is old and creaky. might be a ram issue.)

this could be a problem with auto update. there was a new pb release yesterday and i heard about a lot of problems with auto update. go to http://www.evenbalance.com and update manually.

Nope, updated PB and made double sure it was enabled, still can't start a server.

I can now join a server although the players don't always show up on the stats screen.

Anybody got it running on anything besides 10.1.5 yet?

I got the same error:

powerbook G4 867
512 Mo RAM
ATI Radeon 9000 32 VRAM
OS X.2.4
Quake III ver 1.3.2

I have try the demo four. It load begin to play for few seconde and crash and give the same error can't load hitfile.

The demo is in a normal quake III map? maybe it can help to solve the bug.

I noticed the demo crash also on WindowsXP. It's definately a vanilla Q3 map that loads...then it crashes. That demo is not included with WesternQ3. I think it's part of the 1.32 point release, but it shows up in WQ3 for some reason. Just ignore/don't play the demo.

same error here:

iMac G4 1 GHz

Nvidia GF 4MX 64 VRAM
OS X.2.4

would be nice to practice a little before hitting the servers :-) Can't hardly wait to try to be a real gunslinger...
