Hi All,
I re-intstalled Quake 3 and now I have this crazy lag playing WesternQuake
Quake 3 plays just fine, so does Quake 4 and other games but WQ3 will (at worst) lag every few seconds. When it does the sound will actually repeat like the needle is stuck (errr, theres my age). Then after a few seconds it comes back to life, but repeats again and again. It sort of seems like when I had a really slow computer and would try to play an advanced graphics type of game, but my computer is new, and I play Quake4 on the highest settings with outstanding results. I have tried to play with different compatibility modes and none matter (same result). Also tried adjusting the graphics settings, not that it should matter, but of course that didn't work either.
I also reinstalled WQ3, I even made sure that I deleted all the files and STILL its freaking out. Man, if anyone has any thoughts, let me know. I'm a die hard WQ3 fan and don't want to quit on it but I'm about out of ideas on why it's not working right when everything else is.
Also, I ran it in window mode so I could spy my memory and cpu and it doesn't go above 50% for the cpu and much less for memory
so I can't see what is making the lag/stutter/freeze junk
