Quake 3 retail - black screen with TurboGL and G400MAX?

[davea]

I am unable to run the UK retail version of Quake 3 when the TurboGL DLL is intalled.

The game displays a black screen - the same problem that has been reported by other users here.

I have installed the latest G400 drivers version 5.41 and downloaded the latest TurboGL.

My system is a PIII 500 with 128Mb RAM.

Quake 3 runs OK without the TurboGL, I get about 30fps at 1024x768 with 16-bit colours & textures and full texture detail.

I have tried many of the suggestions given here in this forum, but nothing seems to work. I even played around with the AGP aperture but it doesn't help.

Dave,

You have tried uninstalling the TurboGL, setting the resolution to 800x600x32bpp, and then reinstalling the TurboGL, right?

Listen up, you primitive screwheads! See this? This is my BOOMSTICK! Etc. etc.

I got it working by going back to the 5.3 Video driver, together with
opengl32.dll version 5.41.006.001.

1024x768, 16bit, bilinear textures up from 31 to 45 fps!
