Hey all. Dunno if someone had such error, just don't have time to check all topics, so sorry if smth wrong.

I installed q3, tried it - works fine. Than I downloaded E+ 2.1. and extracted it to q3 folder, also added maps in baseq3 folder. Nothing more. And when I run q3 it writes damn mistake in q3 console "vm/ui.qvm has bad header"... Does anyone know wtf is it? I also tried to run q3 which Ultra sent to me (already with installed e+ and etc., his whole q3 folder) - the same mistake has place. Hope that U will help me.

Yours Hazo

Re: error when running q3

you may have broken pk3s or maybe some of your pk3s are old (obsolete). try checking this, hazo

I guess it's impossible cause even Ultra's q3 doesn't work and he plays in it. I think there is some shit about windows or may be even hardware but don't sure.

Re: error when running q3

it still possible if you have antivirus/firewall that might interfere in loading pk3s, for example.
also, i googled and there was interesting case: someone said reinstalling drivers for videocard helped to solve this problem o_O

I haven't asked you to use old drivers. Just uninstall the current drivers, then install them again (because the installation might be broken).
