Workaround if you have problems: Geforce FX cards: set "pb_system" cvar to 1. Older geforce: run game in Win9x compatibility mode and set pb_system 1. i don't think I've heard of anyone with an FX card having a lockup over this yet, it just seems to be the pre-FX generation cards, maybe even only the GF4's. pb_system 0 has always been abysmal for anyone i know with quake3 anyway, and the compatability mode quickfix is nothing more thn that, it ran seemingly fine for me with the 53.03 drivres for a few of days, 4+ hours continuous testing on more than one occasion. then a day after it wouldn't stay running for more than 10 minutes again before a total system lockup. places to go are http://www.punksbusted.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=2070 where evenbalance staff are watching. and http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=85563f6c13bc49a26643580f83598361&forumid=26 where apparently nvidia actually pay attention sometimes.
