r1q2 crashing is always video card related. Update or reinstall.
i don't have any modified files. don't fail any checks apart from saying i have a modified crackhore.tris or whatever it is and i don't even have a crackhore model or skin.
Nicotine has never been addictive to me, whatsoever, no matter how many years I've smoked or how many I smoke a day.
^ My post in this link has a download link to that tris.md2 file. Copy the file to baseq2/players/crakhor(Create the folder if you don't have it. Without the skins you won't see the model ingame anyway, but it will stop that modified shit warning.
I think you owe r1ch an apology.
it did drop out again earlier today [...] I have uninstalled r1q2, reinstalled, i have updated my drivers, tried playing without anticheat
To clarify, it still crashes with no error message, even when anticheat.dll is removed from your Quake2 folder?
