(A) When I'm starting a multiplayer game, Q3 will kick me out of a game at the moment the first frame appears upon enetering the game. It then goes back to the main menu, where I try again and again to join a game. This happens on over 50% of the my attempts to join a multiplayer game.

(B) On another issue (maybe related?), it seems that at some point, the SOUNDS when selecting various menu items at the beginning of the game sound more "tinny" than when I first installed Q3. Any ideas?

Thanks!!!

On (B) have you changed anything in the sound settings, either ingame or via the sound control in windows? Any thing else that might affect the sound hardware, new drivers, loose wires or something?

(A) - This is because the server has "sv_pure 1" enabled, tell the server to change it to 0 OR take out all the pk3 files that are not from quake3 OK?

Hope that werks man! (i have learnt that one from experience with modem games)

Oh, (B) - check if you have A3D sound enabled(in quake3), if so, your sound will be tinny for sure, to disable it type in "disable_a3d" (i think!)

Parsout, again

make sure you have the same version of the MOD there using also delete any .PK3 file from baseq3 that does not start with PAK1 PAK2 PAK3 and PAK0 any others may cause the cheat protection to kick you out.

Also, make sure you are using the same point release of Q3 as the servers you are trying to connect to. Most are still 1.17, but some may be 1.25 even though it is a beta version.

As far as the sound goes, I had a similar thing happen because I was playing around in the Direct7 Diagnostic thingy and I accidently told it not to use any acceleration for my sound device. You might want to check that out as well, as soon as I changed it back to full accerlation everything was fine.
