Make sure to go to your games list and right click on Quake 3 then go to properties, then local files and scan integrity of game cache just to make sure all your files are valid. Then go back to Quake 3 properties and uncheck enable steam overlay. Might launches fine with that off and crashes instantly with it ticked on.

Buenas, tarde pero seguro. A mi me pasó lo mismo. Configurando y desconfigurando el Q3 y el TeamArena, me pasó de desconfigurar el TEAMARENA. ♥♥♥♥ en config 2048x1536 (o algo así era) y me pasó este mismo error.


Lo que hice para solucionarlo fue, buscar el archivo "q3config.cfg" que es el archivo que tiene las configuraciones guardadas, y busqué en la linea que dice " seta r_fullscreen "1" ", y modifiqué ese valor "1" (ON) por un "0" (OFF), e inicié de nuevo el teamarena. Inicia en modo windowed. Ahi restablecí los valores de configuracion pordefecto y asunto arreglado.
Espero les sirva a los que en un futuro lleguen a este comentario.
