Hi all,
this afternoon I've successfully compiled quake 2 source code. I was able to build the quake2.exe.
I've moved this file on my quake 2 game directory, but when I launch it, I got "Error during initialization"....
Has anybody experienced this ? What's the problem ?
"Error during initialization" Vanilla Quake 2 (source)
Re: "Error during initialization" Vanilla Quake 2 (source)
Solved by upgrading the game with the latest patch. After the upgrade I've copied my compiled quake2.exe to the game directory and it worked
Thanks anyway!

I do wonder what it would take to reverse Quake2's source to 3.05 compatibility....

The refresh API between the .exe ref_gl and ref_soft modules, as well as the game API undoubtedly are different. This will prevent a v3.21 .exe from working with the v3.05 renderer modules and game DLLs.
