Hey.

Quake 4 somehow got a problem to create a new game. Every time it loads, like 5-10 sec after it jumps back out in the menu, tried different ways, but nothing semes to help.

Got latest drivers for all, tried to reinstall the game again. Got better comp than the min requirements and tried different graphical settings. Sad

Yeah. Press new game, and select difficulty level, and press Start game.

Gets "Loading" screen, and pops back to menu. First time I try after starting the game, it don't even finnish loading before it pops back, and when I try again, it loads faster, and gets all the way to 100% and instead of starting the game, it's right back at the menu again.

Feels like I only got the menu and a setup to play with Wink any sugestions are welcomed.

Hmmm...this may sound stupid, but is ur ESC key stuck or something like that?

I had an issue in a game once, where whenever i went to a menu, it would act as if my mouse was scrolling through each option over and over and it was very hard to manipulate the settings...anyway, it ended up that i had usb controller connected and a cd case was pushing the gamepad stick up, which was causing the constant cycling.

What kinda system are u running? how fast, how much mem, what kinda gfx card etc

No keys stuck, and believe it or not. I have a joystick that is messed up, so it does the exact same thing when it's connected. Scrolling up, was going nuts over that a while ago. Smile

Anyway, still the same problem, and I can rule out any stuck keys. Guess this game hates me allready.

I got an AMD 64 3200+, 1024mb DDR 400, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, Win Xp Pro. Latest drivers, and so on. At least the game should start on that.

AMD 64...as in 64 bit? I dont think Quake 4 is compatible with 64bit chipsets...I dunno tho, checked the Quake site

AMD 64, as in 64 bits yes. But the system is still 32 bits Windows, never encounterd any problems with the 64-bits processor before, but I will see look and see if that's the problem. Nothing can be done in that case, and I guess there would have to be a disclaimer on the Q4 box if there was, and so far I have not heard any comments about souch thing on the box anyware.

No, not yet. But I kind of like DVD versions of games. Will look at D-tools, anything can be wrong now days.
