Quake3 freezes after 30 sec of play

[Lemmingz]

I'm using
Red Hat 7.1
Nvidia gforce 2mx with glx ver 1.0-2313
AMD K6-400 cpu
and quake3 ver 1.11 from linux cd
also tried point release 1.17 and 1.31

The training session works fine, But after tier 1 all of the games lock up after about 30 seconds of play with the last sound played repeating over and over until I kill it with "ctrl+alt+F1" and reboot
The demo worked fine, but i don't remember what ver it was.
any ideas?
Thanks

It's probably a sound driver issue try turning off the sound see if it still happens if not then check with loki and find out what type of driver issue it may be. :)

you were right it was a sound issue.I started it without sound and it worked perfectly.Now what?
loki informed me that they wern't supporting q3 anymore, but they did thank me for registering my game! :p

hmm I believe it only works with oss.. you might try installing that if not using it already.

Well I couldn't compile the code Without error in that last post. However I did solve the problem with the sound driver. I just stuck a different card in there! The old one was an ess audio drive. I've had problems with it before. thanks for the help :)
