How do u install Quake2 in Win2K?

[rockhard]

Keep getting message that it aint compatible?
Would the new Service pack for Win2K solve this?

There's a lot of games that are not compatable yet in win2k but there is a pathc that you could get.
I check the liste but quake is not in it you could still try it and run quake again...

And for that sp1 i install it once and had a lot of probs now i don't have it anymore and no problems at all.

You can run quake2 just fine in win2k... you just can't install it... same is true for windows NT 4.0.
Basically you have to install it kinda like you would in linux... put in your Q2 CD and copy everything in the <CD>:\Install\Data folder to your hard drive. (ex: C:\quake2) and then d/l and install the latest patch for quake 2 from somewhere like http://www.planetquake.com
Should work just fine... I've used it before no problem 🙂

I am an avid Quake2/3 player and use Win 2K. It installed off the cd and had no problem with &quot;compatibility&quot;. I did absolutely NOTHING different with the install in Win 2K than I do in 98SE.

I have been using Win 2K since Feb. and I have never had a problem installing any games (that I play...UT, Q2/3, NFS5, etc.) as a matter if fact.

Get the Q2 3.20 patch from http://www.fileplanet.com 🙂

thanx guys 🙂

tried just leaving proggys as they were from WinMe installation and just made links to them (on another HD) and they ran just fine 😀

Everythings fine except quake3's gamma ramping 🙁
Maybe have to see what happens with next point release if there is gonna be one?

rockhard is now real chuffed,
