Quake 3 quits when I am shot at with the Plasma gun. It's very frustrating being in the middle of the action only to suddenly end up back at the Finder!

Info...
12" powerbook
Quake3-132-AltivecTest2
Quake version 1.30

Ideas?

Thanks,

Craig

Yup, that's true about every Mac with that altivec optimized version of Q3. If you can find it, download the old non-altivec version, you only loose 5 or 6 FPS and it won't unexpectedly quit. It's a known problem with Quake 3, and id isn't really doing anything about it.

any ideas on where to look? Version Tracker seems to have the altivec versions only.
