Archived from groups: alt>games>quake2 (more info?)

I've been gaming Q2 on a Win98SE 900 T-Bird based machine for about 3
years with no problems. Running a cable modem and regularly ping in
the 40-60 range on many servers within Comcast's network. Finally
switched over to XP-H on a new hard drive and have some problems with
Q2.
I run the KB w/ left hand and a mouse w/ right. The KB seems to have
lag - strafe , forward, backwards... etc. keeps going after I stop,
after a short pause it moves again for a second or so and so on...
makes a network game unplayable. It doesn't seem to be different if
I'm on a server that pings 45 or 150.
Any advice or suggestions?

I experienced the exact same problem on one xp machine for some reason. I
know the cure, but I don't know what causes it.
anyway, just run the game in win98 or win95 compatability mode and
everything should be back to normal.

I have that on one XP machine too; it's an older computer with a Duron
1200 and Geforce 2. I'll have to try the compatibility mode and see if
that does the trick.

I searched Help in XP-H for Win98 / Win9 compatability mode and didn't
get any hits... what is and how do I run one of these modes?
thanks -

Erg, IIRC, right click on the exe and click properties, there will be
two pages/options, click on compatibility, then you'll see options in
front of you.
