Quake 3 problem

Hi All

I have just tried Quake 3 on the Amiga for the first time!

I coppied contents of CD Quake 3 to Work:Games/Quake 3

I run the executable and it switched to a grey screen and after about a minute switched back to workbench with the folloring error message:

Parent process has tried to exit before all children have.

Process: "Quake3"

Function: "Wait_until_Child_Ends()"

Error Process: "MiniGL watch-dog <pid=208>"

I wonder is this because I dont have proper hardware support due to no 3D hardware driver for my SAM460 and Radeon HD4650 GFX card, or is it something else? Can the game be forced to run in software render mode like Quake 2? If so how do I set that?

Thanks in advance

Quake 3 doesn't have a software renderer. You can try using Wazp3D, but I doubt that it will be playable.

If you want software rendering (at decent speed) then Quake 2 is about as good as it gets.

Whats the obsession with talking about Quake on Amiga forums? Every forums I look on (and I check them all from time to time) contain some recent talk about Quake!

It's just such a popular game, even all these years later!

Theres not much games to talk about and Q3 is top modern popular game for amigas that needs more of the raw power ;-p
