what graphic card have you got becoz we aren`t psicic here
but those errors means that :
1.you have no Opengl drivers
2 or your card cannot handle open GL
3.or your game is corupted

but still need more input

I got the the same error.
None of hfric's 3 points apply.
I did manage to play it though, just about, by using a glide wrapper.

just delete all the gl dlls in the q3 test folder as they're really there as a voodoo2 minigl. It will then start using your video card.

install the GLSetup.exe found on the original cd or on the net

this sounds exactly like that i got the same error years ago when i tried to run SOF

Narfous is right, delete the gl dlls and it runs fine.
I did actually try this since I'm familiar with doing it with Quake 1, guess I just didnt delete the right dll before.
Delete:

Code: Select all

GLU32.dll
GLUT32.dll
opengl32.dll
voodoogl.dll

and it runs. The bots are shocking bad though >_<

are you kidding? Glsetup has been out of date for over 6 years.
