Quake II
I got Quake II and installed it . The game works pretty fine , but it is overly laggy . It takes about 5 seconds just to refresh the screen . Anyone can check it out and explain why this is happening? I just wasted about 150MB just getting the disk image .
If you're asking for a most generic answer, and nothing specifically related to your particular hardware setup, then I'd wager a guess that the problem lies anywhere in 3 areas.
1) your video card
2) your internet connection setup (or even the service itself)
3) Q2's (quake II's) settings/preferences aren't set up properly/optimally.

Couldn't you just edit the autoexec.cfg (essentially a text file) to have lower video quality settings... before you launch Quake II?
As for hardware openGL versus software openGL, I think he meant that if you do have the patience to 'push through the lag' to get to the preferences window (in-game), you should try to choose "software openGL" and not leave it set to use "hardware openGL".
