Battlezone 2 Win2K Possible fix ?

simonroockley
I've got a Geforce and have found that you get better stability if you set AGP to 1x and switch out sideband addressing and fast writes, this increases disk accessing but this can be reduced by lowering the resolution and effects.

Another Q3 Problem

TymbrWlf
I've been having a minor problem with Quake 3: After playing for about 10 minutes or so, the game will lock up and the only way to get out is to hit the reset button. I have a P-III 500, 192m Ram, 20gb WD hard drive (ATA/66), Diamond Monster II 3D (Voodoo2 chipset), ATI Xpert@play 98, using W2K 2195 Pro Final.

NFS4 Works, but.......

KrakdT
NFS4 seems to work fine on my Win2K setup. All I did was update it to the latest patch (4. 52 I think). Only problem is when I launch it I alway get a message that there is less than 1 MB disk space.

Quake 3 and framerates!!!!!

DarkWolf
Hello to all, Well I noticed on here that everyone was saying Q3 was noticably slower under W2K then it was under W98 and I too looked into this and found that I also dropped about 3-5fps myself. I did some experimentation with the GL drivers both from W2K and the latest V3 Retail drivers.

Gaming at 700MHz

EEMeltonIV
Hey, folks, I have a general question for you. . . I've been running Win2K Pro. on a 300MHz PII the last coupla weeks and, understandably, most of my games don't run as well (in terms of speed jerky frames 'n' whatnot) as they did under Win98/Win98SE.
