Your comp should be handling it fine. Ive never played this game, but have you tried looking for a patch?

Either that, or try a re-install.

I believe this was directed for Satis. GTK radiant is a map editing tool, not a game. Satis might have some insight, but he hasn't been through for a day or 2.

It's not your system. There could be a couple things wrong... when I first started mapping, I used qeradiant rather than gtkradiant (qeradiant is the tool released by Id) and I had mega-issues. Like 1fps (less, actually), light problems, all kinds of stuff. I fixed that by switching over to gtkradiant.

My first suggestion would be to try a different version of gtkradiant. Either a newer one, if there is one, or an older one.

If that doesn't work, it's possible there's something wrong with quake. Maybe try defragging, then ripping all of quake out and reinstalling it with the point release.

Hmmm...I wouldn't go that far quite yet, though. You say quake crashes when you try to play the map? Do you have it set to automatically launch quake on a map compile? You can try switching that off, then loading the map manually through the console. If it still crashes, post the errors here (if you get any errors) so I can take a look at it. If you need any help with how to do any of this, just ask.

hmmm. I don't know. All my mapping experience is with vanilla quake... I know the wolfenstein stuff is somewhat different.

My guess is that something going wrong in the bsp process. The compiled map is probably screwed up in some way, and when rtcw tries to read it it crashes. I'd still recommend just trying a different version of gtk, but failing that I really have no more ideas.
