Hi,
hope someone can help me solving crosshair problem on excessive plus. I downloaded the newest e+ zip file. Ok, the problem is I don't have a crosshair in game but only an untransparent gray square area!
In orignal q3 and rocketarena theres the crosshair displayed correctly!

Some extra info:
Using Vista and started quake3.exe in compatibility mode: xp sp2
Ati X1700 Mobility using Catalyst 7.7
quake version 1.32c
Display Mode 1440x900
texturebits: 32
z-buffer: 8
GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR

Perhaps you have some custom .pk3's in your baseq3 or excessiveplus folders that replace the crosshairs? Try moving every custom pk3 file out of these folders and see what happens.

You'll probably have to put them back in one at the time and run q3 to see if it's the one that fucks your crosshair up. But you can probably count custom maps out, i haven't seen one yet which would come with their own crosshair set oO

I bet my left ball that the mischevious pk3 was autodownloaded by your client from some server.
