Mac G5/ATI 9600XT - WQ3 won't load

Postby Screaming Pizza » Fri Dec 31, 2004 7:53 pm

Howdy,

I just tried loading Western Quake3 last night on a G5 w/ATI 9600XT (Mac OS X 10.3.7), and it won't load. (this used to work on my old G4)

FWIW, I tried clearing the Q3 config, reinstalling WQ from scratch, and loading from the terminal. Here is where it appears to choke:

------- sound initialization -------
Chunk size = 4096
Buffer size = 16384
## Component Manager: attempting to find symbols in a component alias of type (regR/carP/x!bt)
Hardware format:
44100.000000 mSampleRate
lpcm mFormatID
8 mBytesPerPacket
1 mFramesPerPacket
8 mBytesPerFrame
2 mChannelsPerFrame
32 mBitsPerChannel
Chunk Count = 8
------------------------------------
----- Sound Info -----
sound system is muted
1 stereo
16384 samples
16 samplebits
2048 submission_chunk
22050 speed
0x37b7000 dma buffer
No background file.
----------------------
Sound memory manager started
Loading vm file vm/ui.qvm.
../qcommon/vm_ppc_new.c:1736: failed assertion `opStackDepth < OP_STACK_MAX_DEPTH'
Abort

I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done, but in case there is I thought I'd ask. I'm missing the Call of the West...

hello!

I can't help, since i only run Windows, but this looks like it might be a general Quake 3 problem, not a specific WQ3 problem. So I suggest you ask at the quake 3 forums at http://www.forumplanet.com/planetquake/.

Hope this helps :)

well, there are some problems with wq3 and mac.
the only thing i can say is that mac users can not start a single- or multiplayer game, but it should be possible to join servers.

there are only 2 wq3 servers ATM, see
