Still no one wrote anything about Glide or explained when and how to use the more advanced settings in the config file. I updated the page (finally) with the basics of the Glide options and specification of 3Dfx cards. A lot of the wording is weird, as Dege didn't write the tool-tips for Glide very …

Lock yourself in a room with the computer until you figure it out on your own. I'm serious. This is how I learned. There's no magic formula here that only the people on VOGONS know. If you don't get the experience you need you'll keep coming back here with basic questions and never get anywhere. …

How did you mess up the installation? You have to be more specific and in-depth with what you did, don't just reply with three words lol.

I managed to get the game to run in a window with graphics and all (even the music too!). Is the music working for anyone else? It has never not worked for me so far.

I have the MIDI music working in Aladdin somehow. I don't know how.... I have no clue on how to fix the graphics, I even tried using dgVoodoo2. I also ran the game on Windows 98 SE and it worked flawlessly (despite color limitations and resolution issues). Make sure that the default/preferred MIDI …

VMWare running Windows XP runs decently on my computer (GTX 1050 Ti, Intel i7 2600). It actually runs at the same speed (similar) as a Pentium 4 machine with a NVIDIA FX 5500 GPU. I haven't done extensive testing, but it works alright. VMWare doesn't support Windows XP offically (anymore at least). …

Haven't replaced anything in those folders. The 2 copies I own give the same error.

I'm suspecting it's a video codec that might be causing this, since …

Have you modified any system files in SysWOW64 or System32? If you haven't, then get a new copy of the game somehow. Also run a System File Check and see if it comes up with any components missing, if it does then that is your answer.

For the stuttering, try rename ef2.exe to quake3.exe if you haven't done so. I know that's weird but it seems work. Does naming it something else other than quake3.exe have the same effect? There may be registry entrie(s) being loaded or .dll's either not being loaded or loaded when the game is …

Create a shortcut for the main .exe I think (there is probably a separate launcher exe file). Open file location the shortcut if you don't know where the game is. Once you have created the new shortcut (for the game, not the launcher), view the properties of the shortcut and add -rez NOLF.rez -rez …

The right version of the qasf.dll is required to be located with the game executable so that the .dll from SysWOW64 is not loaded by the game. On Windows 10 (and 8.x), the DLLs loaded through COM (via CoCreateInstance API) are always loaded from system directory by default unless you modify the …

The stuttering is coming from the qasf.dll being loaded by the game. DirectShow has support for ASF files, the qasf.dll is used with that file format. The problem comes from that the newer versions of the QASF.dll tries to intercept calls with DirectShow; DMO wrapper or something (I think, I am not …
