How is XP is for playing Quake and CS, is it better than 98SE?

yes it is better than Win98, you don't have to reboot it every day. yeah righ! 😉

go get it 🙂

I have not had <knock on wood> any problems with Win XP and any games. Halflife, Q3, Q3 Team Arena, Wolfenstein etc.....

I think it is far better then 98se or ME

Same here. All of my games run fine in XP. Half Life (and Mods), Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Serious Sam and Medal of Honor.

The only problems I've had is with Quake2 and Half-life. The mouse is very sluggish, but it's movement is accelerated, making it impossible to set the sensitivity correctly. I don't have this problem with Q3, unless it's so minimal i don't notice it. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

I play CS ,UT,TFC,DoD and Q3 all the time with WinXP(still on 56k here ),I did have small problem with CS where it would disconnect after awhile,I read that it was a common problem with CS players & disabling QoS in the networking tab fixed the problem and it did for me.Btw I still have a Win98 PC for backup but to be honest only use it for getting updates.

I never managed to get CS to work under WinXP properly; went back to Win2k.

 

[Dreadogg]

they both work great here CS gave me problems at first although If you update XP with the lastest software compadibility update all is well!

Is it becoming common yet for games to run successfully under a restricted user account in either W2K or WXP?
