Playing Quake2 for the 1st time on my win98 rig and on resolutions greater than 800x600 keep getting patterns of red dots on the screen. Maybe that's as high as it can go - using a Geforce3 Ti 200 & opengl mode not 3dfx. Anyone know if the 3.20 patch fixes this or another solution?

Asus P5N-E Intel Core 2 Duo 3.33ghz. 4GB DDR2 Geforce 470 1GB SB X-Fi Titanium 650W XP SP3
Intel SE440BX P3 450 256MB 80GB SSD Radeon 7200 64mb SB 32pnp 350W 98SE
MSI x570 Gaming Pro Carbon Ryzen 3700x 32GB DDR4 Zotac RTX 3070 8GB WD Black 1TB 850W

It sounds like you've got VRAM problems. The memory being allocated for resolutions beyond 800x600 is probably going bad.

You can definitely go as high as you want.
It sounds like a hardware problem, but can you post screenshots or photos?
