Quake Multiplayer and Microsoft Vista

[Slacker]

Hi Everyone - I've played shmack.net almost exclusively for the past couple of years and ran winquake on windows xp with a linksys router. I never had a problem before although I was only proficient enough to basically enable the DMZ on my linksys router and open the appropriate port. Port Forwarding for whatever reason never seemed to work, altho I was probably doing it wrong.

To the point: finally upgraded to a new pc which runs Vista. The game will play, I go back and enable the DMZ, the firewall is off, but while I can connect to a server, the map never loads. It just says "connection accepted" and sits.

Any ideas?????

Thanks.

My boyfriend has been having issues getting glquake to run on Vista

It might help you to upgrade to the latest version of Proquake. I seem to recall the ever helpful Baker mentioning that he had put in some resolutions for that very problem.

@Ravva: You might also try renaming the opengl32.dll file to something else.


Hope this helps

Kind regards
