how to fix it because i am being pissed off
Hey there, sorry quake 3 wasn’t working. A few questions to try and solve the issue:
- Did you download a version of ioquake3 from our website or are you running the original quake 3 without ioquake3?
- Are you running Windows? macOS? Linux? What version or distro?
- What graphics hardware does your computer have? Do other games run at normal speeds?
I am experiencing something similar. Windows 10.
I downloaded the game from here https://files.ioquake3.org/Windows.zip, unpacked it then moved the original game .pk3 files to baseq3 of the unpacked folder.
I also tried following the instructions in https: //ioquake3 .org/help/players-guide/#windows (running installer, then replacing files), but the result is the same.
Notably, when I launch ioquake3.x86.exe from the old installer instead of ioquake3.x86_64.exe from Windows.zip, it runs smooth, not as atrociously as ioquake3.x86_64.exe.
My original Quake III Arena from steam also runs smooth.
My GPU is an old-ish (~2015) Nvidia one.
This looks very similar to Engine runs at less than 1 FPS on Windows XP.
And just as I was about to press “post”, I launched the game once again, and it worked perfectly! Both the “installed” version and the simply unpacked Windows.zip.
Frankly, I have no idea what fixed it.
OK, never mind, the issue is back.
I tested it again with the latest build fix minor spelling errors · ioquake/ioq3@ab18167 · GitHub
Another peculiar thing: the main menu (where there are “Single Player”, “Multiplayer” buttons) is smooth, the other menus are not.
Aaand if you manage to start the game (let’s say with map q3dm1 from the main menu), it takes a minute to load, but the game itself is smooth.
Edit: I also tried the latest SDL2 build, as recommended here Only initialise a joystick when they're enabled by tjone270 · Pull Request #715 · ioquake/ioq3 · GitHub, but it didn’t help.
Workaround
OK, I have found a workaround: launch the game with ./ioquake3.x86_64.exe +set cl_renderer opengl1. You can create a .bat file with this text.
More debugging
Now, some more debugging:
I also noticed that setting r_finish 1 (“sync every frame”) also makes the main menu laggy.
Another thing is if I go to the “player” menu where the player model is displayed, it stops lagging.
So I highly suspect that this has to do with whether there is an “active” animation being displayed on the screen. If there isn’t, then it’s laggy.
If you can’t get to the console setting the launch option may be easier, but if you can get to the console you can also set the cl_renderer cvar and do a vid_restart, this is documented in the Player’s Guide

More debugging:
I looked at the logs when the game happens to run smooth, and when it happens to be laggy. And they are identical (I checked with diff).

Ummm, now it also happened on opengl1 renderer
You may try these and see if it improves:
-
Your console log reports “* IGNORING OPENGL EXTENSIONS *”. Try enabling “Allow Extensions” in the Setup → System → Graphics menu. (Or run “r_allowExtensions 1; vid_restart” in the Quake 3 console.) Disabling extensions may interfere with proper function and is probably mainly for old OpenGL drivers that advertise features but have broken support.
-
In your console log it reports you are using the 2009 era Creative Labs OpenAL32.dll. This was included in ioquake3 1.36 installer but is no longer recommended. Try moving it out of your ioquake3 directory. (You can replace OpenAL32.dll with OpenAL Soft if you want surround sound support.)
If these don’t resolve it, could you post the log from ioquake3.x86_64.exe with cl_renderer opengl1 and from old quake3.exe? I wonder if a different OpenGL driver is used for 32-bit and 64-bit applications on your system. (In which case you may benefit from compiling and running ioquake3 for x86.)

Oh. Thanks! With
cl_renderer opengl1
r_allowExtensions 0
it runs smooth now.
On opengl2, however, r_allowExtensions, whether 0 or 1, has no effect. I also removed openal32.dll from the dir. That also didn’t help.
Here is the diff of the logs, from x64 to x86. Indeed, looks like a different driver is used:

I think that’s what you had before though? 
GL_VENDOR: Intel
GL_RENDERER: <REDACTED>
GL_VERSION: 4.0.0 - Build 10.18.10.4358
These seem to indicate it’s the same OpenGL driver. The difference in GL_EXTENSIONS is because quake3.exe didn’t support a large enough buffer to hold it.
I think someone on Windows 10 encountered 32-bit apps using Intel OpenGL driver and 64-bit apps using Vendor: Microsoft, Renderer: GDI Generic which is a poor performance wrapper over DirectX. That doesn’t seem to be the case for you though.
I don’t know why 64-bit ioquake3 would be performing worse with the same OpenGL driver. It might still be worth trying compiling ioquake3 for 32-bit.

Hm well yep, probably. I might have just not noticed that I enabled r_allowExtensions prior to when it started also affecting opengl1 (the issue seems to start happening after an OS restart).
IDK TBH if this can be called “performing worse” though. The main menu runs smooth, as well as the game itself, when it loads eventually. It’s only other menus that are the issue (probably because they don’t have moving stuff).
Yet another update (not a very interesting one probably): I updated the video driver, and now on opengl2 there is no more of this “freezing” in the menu, but when I a map, everything is black except the HUD. On opengl1 it’s fine.
