Installation
============
3DNOWQ2.EXE is a self-extracting Zip archive with a default unzip
folder of c:\quake2. Extract the files into the folder where you
installed Quake II.
If your revision of FXMEMMAP.VXD is dated 2-13-98 or earlier, it
should be updated with the version installed by this release. Check
your windows\system folder to find this file's revision date. If it
is an older revision, copy and paste FXMEMMAP.VXD from your Quake II
folder to the windows\system folder. If you run Quake II and have
not updated this file, you may see the popup message:
"Expected VxD version 1.4, got 1.2"
It is also possible that later revisions of FXMEMMAP.VXD could be
incompatible with this release. If you experience problems while in
3DNow! 3DfxGL mode only then try replacing FXMEMMAP.VXD regardless
of its revision date.
After completing the installation process, run Quake II as usual
from the Quake II shortcut in your start menu.
To enable 3DNow! technology optimization, select one of the 3DNow!
technology options from the Quake II video driver menu as follows:
[3DNow! 3DfxGL ] ... optimized for a Voodoo2 based graphics adapter
[3DNow! OpenGL ] ... optimized for adapters with OpenGL ICD drivers
[3DNow! software] ... optimized software only rendering
At the time of this release, the Voodoo 2 option implements the most
extensive optimizations for 3DNow! technology.
This release is based on Quake II v3.20. If you have a later
revision of Quake II, check the Quake II FAQ at:
