Cedega Help- Q3, JA, SOF

[deathbyswiftwind]

Hey while I know this isnt the cedega forums I have to post here well cause the cedega forums SUCK

Anyways I run quake 3 and jedi academy on cedega. The program is that I cant change the default resolution (640 x 480) without the game crashing to desktop and not saving my settings.

Also I am trying to run soldier of fortune to run under cedega but it just crashes out to desktop after launch if anyone could help me with any of these problems Id really appreciate it!

you can run Quake3 natively, maybe you canchange the resolution that way

Quake 3 and Soldier of Fortune have Native versions!

Actually with Quake 3 I think you can just download the Linux Binary and run it natively.

jedi academy also has a native installer. all of the stuff you are using cedega for is useless.

Well Ive had alot of trouble with some of it. The linux version of sof is way outdated. Jedi Academy just gave me a bunch of trouble in linux. Kept saying please insert cd 1 into drive or something along the lines and I didnt have sound. And Ive played quake 3 in linux but then you cant get all of the same things for the linux version.

I saw a fix for a similar problem only, offcourse, for an entirely different game. Have a look here (http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/wiki/Need_For_Speed_Underground_2) under "Confirmed fix". Maybe, just maybe, you can do something similar, if you can find the correct settings file. Something that might be usefull if you are going to try and search for a file like that, is this command
cat filename|grep -i searchword
it'll search the file filename (can also be all files in directory *)for the searchword e.g. resolution. Best of luck to you

Have you tried running either of those games by setting resolution from the command line. I can't remember the exact syntax but I'm fairly certain there is a way to do something like "quake3.exe -resolution 1024x768". Just search on google for the exact syntax.
