Quake 4: The game no longer fails to respond after lying dormant for approximately 10 minutes, followed by switching between the game and notepad.exe. This issue was known to occur when extended desktop was enabled on systems containing an ATI dual display graphic card.

Wow! How do you even stumble upon a bug such as this, let alone recreate it and debug it?!

  My guess is a level designer. If they were working on a level within the engine on a dual-display system and switched to notepad to make some notes about it, that would probably cause the issue to happen. As for recreating and debugging it - fuck knows. That's why they get paid a lot more than me.

  It's probably much easier to find and fix than having your friendly players being rendered with the wrong (enemy) color on their avatar names, right?

    that bug must be unfixable, its coded deep into the core of the game!
