don't have the game yet, but what hardware do you have?

this happened to me when I upgraded to 10.1.3.
it seems to be something with GF2 cards and the Open GL Drivers...

I was able to take the OGL and Nvidia drivers from 10.1.2 and swap them with th 10.1.3 . all was good after that...

I *think* this is a problem specifically with quake 3 engine games and has been fixed with the release of RTCW.
anyway..that has been my experience..

This happened to me when I overclocked my iBook. You'll get used to it, and it really helps to be able to see through walls sometimes

I logged in as root and replaced these files in the System Folder

/extensions
AppleNDVR (Folder)
Geforece2MX.kext
Geforce2MXGA.plugin
Geforce2MCGLDriver.bundle
NVIDIAResMan.kext

/Frameworks
OpenGL.framework (Complete Folder)

I have the 10.1.2 version of these extensions if you need them.
Be sure to backup the current version of these files before you replace them.

However, the release version of RTCW seems to be working fine for me with the 10.1.3 extensions (These extensions were not updated in 10.1.4)...I only had problems with the MP demo.
