    I had the same problem with glquake1 for 3dfx
    Maybe after the first time the drivers are sorta still in use by the game?
    If I run a different game and run it a second time it works(glquake - not glqw)
    OK so im not much help but ure not alone with the problem and neither is q3. Probably drivers/card then.


    And a Merry Christmas to you too Crash smile.gif

    ere a good way to check if its overHEATING is to slap a MARSHMALLOW on it,

    and if it cooks nice a juicy on the inside yet crispy and crunchy on the outside YOU'LL then know its over heating !

    Crash it's not a question of what drivers. You have a TNT so if you have problems go to the TNT website, check for new drivers and download them. Also check for any mention of a similar problem to yours. The download will have an installer if it's any good at all or at the very least intructions. The drivers you get with a Video card purchase will almost always be out of date so it's always worth checking it out immediately.
