Hi Guys
I'm trying to get back to playing quake. Unfortunately I can't because of problem with all -gl clients.
I get major screen corruption (Fuzzy/Garbled).

My spec is:
Windows 64 Vista Ultimate

ATI 1900xtx with Catalyst 7.4 ( I tried 7.3 and 7.2 ).

Any ideas what could I turn on/off in drivers/game to fix it ?

Screen shot here:

only problem with vista and ezquake as far as I know is that you can't use the server browser. It's a ping method issue.

yes. but otherwise my ezquake works fine

Using:
Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Business
AMD Athlon™ XP 2600
Ati Radeon 9800 pro (catalyst 7.4)

i think its these new gfx cardz with vista what causes teh problems.. or is it coz 64-bit(?) dunno.. :|

The 64bit OSes is unsupported too. None of developers have such OS installed as default OS.
For serverbrowser under Vista... you should try -nosackraw cmdline option, and also if it possible - give ezQuake process ability to use RAW sockets.
ezQuake uses ICMP pings by default, this reques RAW sockets which are usally depends on pretty high access rights on the host (root for linux, administrator for windows). The UDP pings seems to be pretty inaccurate, at least in our implementation.

Meh. If it does the trick (pun intended), what's the harm? Are there any other solutions that are better then?
