I heard somewhere that you could run the demo in OS X natively, so I installed it in OS 9, played a bit (great!), and then switched to OS X. I click it, it starts launching in the Dock, the screen goes black, and then it unexpectedly quits. It does quit natively, which pleases me, but it doesn't run, which doesn't please me.

Anything special I have to do? Thanks.

I think it is supposed to run on OS X natively. It is posted on Apple's website as an OS X download. I can't get it to work either, but then I can't get Q3 to work either. It might be something with the lack of specific drivers for certain video cards under OS X. I asked someone who ran Q3 tests in OS X and that's what he said. If you get anything else, though, be sure to post it.

It runs on my G4/400 w/ PB very well, except for the mouse problem.

I've heard of some res problems when starting...I don't know, but I switch to 640*480 in the Desktop first, just so it'll run full-screen.......
