Anyone know how to fix the white screen issue in proquake 3.50?

Aka this:

I've recently, aside from contacting isp, and aside from traceroute, and resetting router etc.

I decided to try, old proquake 3.50 and try connecting to quake.shmack.net/speaknow etc.

An guess what my ping is low and back to normal with 3.50, even works with darkplaces, just proquake 4.00 and 4.51 versions are giving me high ping, and lagouts on every quake server.

I don't know why, as it never did b4.

I checked firewall settings etc.

No clue.

So anyone know how to fix that issue with proquake 3.50? so i can fucking ctf again?

I absolutely love proquake.

However, i cannot believe the original proquake 3.50, gives me my normal ping whereas 4.xx and up gives me 300++ ping, and then lags me off servers...

Darkplaces does work... i just hate configuring it, but i may have to switch to darkplaces, since proquake 3.50 is all white, an i donno how to "Fix" that issue.

sighs.

But least DP is like proquake 3.50 with giving me my proper ping on servers...

Later on i suppose i can do a directory wipe an re-extract the newer proquake's and see if they work, but currently the proquake 4.00 and 4.51 versions that "DID" and "ALWAYS" have worked for me in past... now give me 300-500 ping and lag me out and no simulated ping is not enabled.

... meh -_-

Try -no8bit and -nomtex

Should resolve your issue.

Hey Lerster ,

Maybe your fps is set to high in the proquake version 4.xx .
PLay around with your maxfps settings.
3.50 proquake use 72 default I think.

I want my Quake to look like that, how do I do it?

r_lightmap 1 should give a similar appearance in the Proquakes that support that feature.

^^ Seems likely. ProQuake 3.50 doesn't save maxfps settings to config, versus the later versions that do.

thanks baker that did fix it... now i can use proquake again woohoo!

^_^

I suspect i did something to the directory when hammered b4 or something that is causing your updated proquake clients to behave weird...

As it literarly icon's me out on every server, but 3.50 gives me normal ping.

So i'll use that for now. Sweet
