That patch was more in line with the SGI driver. It also should turn off perspective correction and goraud shading for additive blended effects, just to save some software processing

Around the same time frame.... and also hilariously shoehorned with Nascar... Jeff Gordon XS Racing?

Not a movie but there was a futuristic racing cartoon series once that's branded NASCAR for no good reason. Which had a movie too.

....which could have the abuse potential, like say a conf with some batch script to recursively delete your system 🙁

Here's a video of it, with music, and on a PowerVR The soundtrack was in CD audio, which may go against the whole magazine pack-in idea unless it was a full version or some special demo version (which Motorhead definitely has had for some cards)

GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc is an extension, it's not a command and it can't be just switched on everything. Q3 has a cvar to use it though, which overrides r_textureBits - r_ext_texture_compresssion 1. Doing this will cause much longer loading times but should be faster for cards with limited …

What about integration with it's own renderer module instead of trying to piggyback over the existing OpenGL renderer module? Like this? should also mention r_textureMode doesn't override the filter mode of the 2d graphics, you'd have to apply more changes to get those to nearest for the software …

Writing past that mark leads to corruption of the file allocation table, and massive dataloss. If I was stuck with a drive that big in a 9x computer I would only partition up to 80gb just to be safe.

There's also the mods. Q3 has plenty of mods that introduce more tactical gameplay, Superheroes Q3/Arena is a good example, which hasn't been attempted in any game since 2002 because people get confused and witchhunt over 'no u will make marvel skins youl be sued' (after The Sims Resource incident), …

Lameduke is very beta code in case you haven't noticed, it's full of stability issues. Try fixed cycles and svga_s3.

again, 1996 games on 1996 computers can't expect 60fps smooth SVGA software-rendered games. It wasn't until 3dfx accelerators and later Pentium II that 60fps 640x480 became commonplace

You could probably use some version with physfs, and mount a zip.... from a slow USB stick. There's also the option of playing it in PCem if you want a more 'authentic doom playing' speed since that has lots of options for cache, CPUs, BIOS, even video bus speed... it can nail down authentic speed …

I've had a lot of stability issues with my Savage4 on Pentium II also (with similar optimism about DOS but being able to run all APIs natively supported in UnrealEngine1 alongside Voodoo2 and PCX2), I attributed the problems to AGP voltage and removed the card. Is it actually something else?

I think the 'pro' divide is a whole another issue. Quake was popular online in 1996 when most still played it with the keyboard, and "ez rocket jumping alias's!!!" was more reserved for the cliques (despite what that Call of Quake video tells you how 'back in the day' was). Quake3 also had a popular …

It's Games Explorer enumerating it so it can add it to the games list, count the startups it had, and "checks" for "updates" as well as content control (i.e. restricting M, T and E10 games from CHILDRENS' LOGINS!!!). It most definitely is a Windows 7 "feature". You can rename your game exe to get …
