    Could one of you learned people out there help me please.

    Q3 aint running. I have a Voodoo 1 card and when I try to run it it says

    could not load opengl subsystem.

    This is most annoying.

    I tried takeing the gl drivers from q1 and 2 respectivly, renameing them opengl32.dll to see if this would do anything. It didn't. I downloaded the opengl2 drivers and took the opengl32 file from that. This got a little further and I could hear the card clicking in but the screen just remained black and I had to restart the PC.

    Any ideas? I would be truly grateful to anyone who can help me out.

    Pres

    yeah you have to get the new drivers
    There's actually supposed to be some problems with the Voodoo2 ones
    Anyway Quake 3 test wasn't that special, although the net code was great, it was fairly playable, even for me, but it just don't seem right.....
    it has a funny taste about it wink.gif

    I had a similar problem with my V3. Then I copied a file called 3dfxgl.dll (i think) - it was about 980k in any case - into the q3 folder and renamed it to opengl32.dll and it worked.
