Quake 2 and 3 on OS4.1

Right.....

I have installed both.

I get a green screen in Q2, the main character (the hand with the gun) is fine, the rest is totally green.

What am I missing?

Do I need to install MiniGL 2.0? Or does it come with OS4.1?

Quake 3:

Green and textures all messed up. When it finally loads a game it stutters and it moves at about 1fps.

I have also tried ioquake3 but double clicking the icon does nothing.

Doom on the other hand is perfect!

@everyone

I need some help here....

Q1, Q2 and Q3 don't work....ARGH!

Q1 doesn't start.

Q2 starts, speed is brilliant but it's green.

Q3 starts but Menu graphics are messed up and game is super slow and graphics are a mess.

Help!

@TheDaddy

Not tried Q3, But Q2 works flawlessly here, you got the OS4 patch for it?

@Mikey_C

Hello,

I have Hyperion's Quake 2 CD.

When I install it I get a GR.

So I downloaded another version from os4depot, this works but it's green.

Which patch do I need for OS4.1?

Thanks

@TheDaddy

I can't recall, at the mo, I know I have one installed, dunno if its the same one as yours or not, I honestly can't remember - it was some time ago. The Hyperion website is down at the mo, so I can't check there, I'll look through my Downloads drawer this weekend and see if its in there, if it is, i'll PM you for contact details.

@TheDaddy

Welcome to our world !

It is a problem related to SamEP440, hope to see it fixed soon...

You can always say that Shrek is on your miggy

@TheDaddy

I think you need to unpack the .pak files manually, I don?t remember the details I?m shore there is a guide some where describing this.

And you need the OS4 exe file of Quake2, the upgrade can be downloaded after registering Quake2 at Hyperion, the upgrade should then be available in download area, you might need to contact H.J.F. or T.F. to get game registered.

Strange, I am sure someone said that they have all the Quakes (1,2 and 3) running perfectly on SAM440EP...

I have unpacked all the .pak files.
I have got the original Hyperion Q2 cd.
Maybe I need the upgrade too...as you say.

@TheDaddy

Have you tried setting the screenmode to 16 bit?

@TiredOfLife

Yes.

on amigaworld.net they say it's a driver issue with SAM......ARGH!

@TheDaddy

Have you tried Capehills Q2/Q3 port?

@ZeroG

Yes, it doesn't run.

Double click the icon and nothing happens.

@TheDaddy

Why?
I have got the original Hyperion Q2 cd.
I don't know what you mean? I bought a PC verson CD; downloaded the driver from Hyperion; installed and
registered it. Everythings works fine. The Q2 engine generates a lot of heat, so turn the cooler fan up to max to play.

@Daddy

Games work here on my sam, problem is the "green" and it is a driver related problem... we have to wait for an update hoping that it will be fixed

@nubechecorre

Yes,it's the same on warpview too. As soon as you turn off the 3d viewmode everything works fine. Hope they can fix it fast.

I play Urban Terror with ioquake3. I've experimented with stack size since I've had frequent freezes with it, until recently when I set the stack really large (10 MB? 30 MB?). Is this a trodden path?

I can confirm there is no problem with quake2 or quake 3 after you have installed the hyperion quick fix from there site. Quake 3 works flawlessly on my system. The "green bug" was a massive problem for a while even I had it before the "the quick fix" was out.

@Thematic Quote:
Not used any expansions with ioQuake3, but my icon only has a stack of 65536 bytes (64KB!). It appears to use a stack cookie to ensure it actually gets at least 2000000 bytes (2MB).

Perhaps expansions increase stack usage, but more than 4-8MB would seem a bit silly IMHO!


P.S. The enormous stack size may be a red-herring. It may simply need Update 1 for OS4.1.

@ChrisH

mmmm, someone above you states it works flawlessly on his sam.

Then why is Quake 3 so slow on my sam??

Cheers
