Game--Quake III Arena Demo
was released by id Software early yesterday and is available for download (50 MB .bin). It requires Apple's new OpenGL drivers v1.1.2 that were released late Wednesday (see the note above and yesterday's post). After installing the new OpenGL drivers, I launched Q3 and it was extremely impressive on the iMac DV/SE and Power Mac G4 using the stock ATi Rage 128 graphics. Unfortunately, I could not get it to run on the B&W G3 with a 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 graphics card. I got an error message saying that OpenGL could not be initialized. I'm working on this. [Update: A reader, "Jokton" pointed out that I had forgotten to copy the MesaSettings file to the folder with the Q3A Demo application. After doing that Q3AD ran fine--Bill]
