[GAME] Quake3 screen flashes w/white lines (Forums : Tech Support : [GAME] Quake3 screen flashes w/white lines) Locked

Ive got windows Xp, Geforce 2.
I dunno why it is but if Ive been playing any other Game in the day like Glquake, when I start Quake 3 the screen flashes with a load of white lines, as in i cant see anything, just these white lines. This usually doest happen if Q3 is the first game i go on in a day but i think its caused by winxp. Does anyone else have this problem or know why it is? Could anyone with Xp and Glquake play Glquake then Quake3 and see if it happens to you aswell? BTW, I have the Q3point release.

White lines? I don't recall any whitelines.

However, check and see if these help

r_drawNormals 0
r_drawVerts 0
r_drawTris 0

You may want to take a screenshot if the above does not work.

white lines... how very strange... i dont think i ever had any problems with white lines... i had some sort of instability with some games, which caused crashes, but other than that it was fine...

I took a screenshot and the lines didnt show up, it cant be a game problem, maybe its something in winXP. But I have to restart my pc if i want to play Quake 3 now.

White flashing before all is loaded is normal.

Try turning on/off vsync, fsaa, or anistropic filtering - they could be the cause.

If all else fails play with Detonator 30.82's.

If that fails then get a Kyro2. :P

A Kyro2 is actually better and more stable than a GeForce2 GTS, I still use mine, I switched off my gf2gts 2 years ago
