Quake II question

[click_here]

I have a ATI Radeon 64mb 8500LE in my son's box and I just bought QII,and is there some kind of patch or utility that I need to make it work good?because the only way I could get it to play was on "software",it would'nt play on "default GL" or " 3dfx GL".
his box has
WIN2k(sp3),XP1900,256mb pc2700 Corsair,MSI KT7266.

TIA... :)


or is there some other setting in the game that I did'nt see?

Do you have Q2 patched up? I want to say make sure you have the latest video drivers...but man, Q2 is so old, I don't see that being the case. Probably a good idea to do that anyways.

I remember I used to play Q2 on the Voodoo's, had a Voodoo1, and a pair of Voodoo2's in SLI mode. Then I got nVidia's first TNT...and tried Q2 in full OpenGL mode...and WOW....was it sweet. So good looking. Stills runs great on a GeForce on the kids computer upstairs.

I have to assume ATI drivers support full OpenGL....Brent should be able to confirm that.
