Quake 2 problems

Just been trying to play quake 2 and the AI players are moving at about 100miles an hour

Does anyone know how to fix this ??
Plus is there anyway to get this game to run at widescreen res ??

(Am using window 7 64bit)

there was a quake 2 final patch
Try running on a different windows version ie right clicking on the exe file, click properties then compatibility

unrelated but check out the quake 2 done quick video

Am using the quake2 steam version..

Make a shortcut on your desktop. Right click, properties, compatibility, tick the box and choose Win XP SP3.

I just loaded it again and it working fine this time :confused:

Maybe it was the Vertical sync that was not working till i quit & reloaded the game

Yes...

Seeing/playing Quake 2 and the first tomb raider game on a 3DFX one card was what got me started into PC gaming
(That was back in about 1996 or 97...... :eek:

Ah, I remember downloading the quake2 demo at school, and copying it onto 3 floppy disks...

That must have been the quake 1 demo

As the quake 2 demo was about 37mb

I defo put it on floppies... but maybe it was more than 3

Was Quake2 for sure; I remember the first level and the grunts that would duck behind cover.. it really freaked me out back then!

There was an unofficial version of the Quake 2 demo doing the rounds that was used for MP only that fit on 2 or 3 floppy discs - I wouldn't reccomend it tho heh, all the sounds were re-encoded at v. low bitrate, several things ripped out entirely and only one map.
