Works good for me in Panther. The G4 optimized one runs great.

Works great for me in single player only, but when I connect to a multiplayer game over the internet it kicks me out as soon as I connect. I've updated the Punkbuster files that are required now but still no luck. Any help will be appreciated.

The G4-optimized version of Q3 always crashes for me eventually. It happens when the plasma gun is being fired. Considering I can't get a decent timedemo out of the app for that reason, I really don't know how much faster it is. The regular Q3 app nets me about 120fps on average anyhow so I guess I really don't need it.

But I do wonder what it is about the plasma gun that crashes the app. It seems like one of the sound effects, when someone's shooting it at you.
