Hi STB,

I'm not sure what you mean by "it shutters gooby". Do you mean that Quake's rendering is very "juddery"? A little like a slideshow or a very bad 1940's Czech cartoon ?

If so then you might need to give the folks here a bit more information before they will be able to help you. The following might help:

What version of proquake are you using?
When does this problem occur? On one map/server or all of them?
What is r_novis set to?
What is r_wateralpha set to?
What command line are you starting quake with?
What hardware, particularly graphics, is it running on?
Is there any other information you can provide that might help them isolate and identify the problem?

If you help them to help you then I'm sure someone will be kind enough to reply.

Kind regards

Monty

I feel stupid for not putting this in the original post, I'm running it off a flash drive :p

i have run quake off of a flash drive (usb 2.0) and have never had any lag.

My flash drive is usb 2.0 I think these ports are 1.0 though :/ school computers

yeah i cant remember the transfer rate of 1.0, but thats probably whats causing the lag. btw have u tried mindz's suggestion yet?
