The reason being is that it reloads itself after the intro video. 2) If you are running version 3.20 with downloading turned on you will get the following error "Refusing to download a path with ..". This is due to how pak0.pak is made and is a Quake 2 bug. 3) BE PATIENT when the file loads as it is 6.4 MB and takes a while longer than other files. * Story * " While efforts are almost complete on Stroggos to remove any further threat to human existence on earth, a threat still remains. A few months ago Intelligence HQ has discovered a secret base located on the Stroggos moon 'Velving'. This base hidden by an ancient castle front houses a nuclear weapon, which is presently aimed at Earth and during these times where the Stroggs are losing the war, we fear it shall be used on us. The weapon they call 'El Rulka' meaning 'Saviour' has the power of twenty of our Nukes today and carries 'Surastrius'. This virus, which to the inhabitants of Stroggos is like a common cold, is like the plague to all human life. The bomb has been constructed so that the virus carrying vessel drops two hours after impact. Thus anything that survives the nuke doesn't have a chance in hell of surviving when this thing lands. Your mission, should you accept it, is to successfully land on 'Velving'. Retarget the 'El Rulka' missile for Stroggos and launch the missile, should you be successful in your mission a Viper plane shall be on stand by to take you home. Good luck marine!
