Quake 4

[Terje Lloyd Andersen]

Hi. Just got my new PC ( Intel Dual Core, 2 GB RAM, nVIDIA GeForce 8600GT
and VISTA 32-bit ).
Anyone out there who knows how to make Quake 4 work on this PC?
Thanks in advance.

What problems are you having installing Q4? We have tested it and it
runs/installs fine

Hi again
The problem WAS that Vista told me there are known compatibility problems
with Quake4.
When I asked for help from "the system", it told me nothing. THEN - somebody
told me I needed LATEST version of Macromedis Flash to play Quake4. Since
this is a brand new PC, I had not been thinking of this issue - I downloaded
the last version, and BINGO: Quake4 runs as before - VERY NICE.

There are a few games that will throw up that message "known compatibility
problems". I've found that it works just fine.

Sorry to say, you are slightly wrong. I tried Quake 4 on Vista 64, and the
game wouldn't run at all. I got so disgusted with a pretty good portion of my
games not working on Vista 64, I removed it from my system, and went back to
WindowsXP for the time being.

Works fine for me. I'm also running Vista64. When did you last try, eight
years ago? Early on, Vista video drivers weren't handling OpenGL very
well, if at all. Most recent drivers are a lot better.

The *only* problem I have with Games and Vista64 is BF2... Vista tends to
bluescreen on my while while loading the next map. I seem to be in the
minority there, too, as most people claim it works fine for them with
Vista.
