Hey guys, I recently started getting into Quake 1, and decided to try out Qrack (the lighting fix is a lot nicer, so is the new look and having it automatically do +mlook for me and stuff like that). I'm having trouble though, that everytime I run Qrack (1.85) and then quit the game after, it will automatically shutdown. I'm not sure why this is. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions? If so it'd be really appreciated, thanks.

any errors? next time try developer 1 and tool around, when it "shuts down" hopefully it will present a message

Hey there; there are no errors when the computer shuts down: everything goes fine until I click 'y' to quit, then the computer just shuts down (without any pause or warning or error or anything). I gave a look around for developer 1 and was unsuccessful in finding it =( Any ideas or could you show me where to get developer 1? Thanks.

Check in the Application and System event logs for anything bad that's reported at the time of the shutdown, and have a look in C:\WINDOWS\Minidump for a Crash Dump file with a time stamp around the shutdown time.
These won't fix it, but they will help to confirm if the problem is coming from QRack or from your computer.IT LIVES! http://directq.blogspot.com/

Hey guys, I know it's been a long time since I posted. I did find the solution to this a while ago, and I just found this thread again and decided to post up what it is incase anybody else gets this problem:
If you have VLC player running in the background while you're playing GlQrack, once you close GlQrack the computer will crash. Just make sure to close VLC player BEFORE you close GlQrack and you will be fine =]
