Do any of our techies have any idea what may be up the creek - I keep
getting kicked to the Desktop when in a game online with the error
message:

s_findname "Emptyname" (no quotes)

It's driving me to distraction - there's no hint in the condump as to
what's causing it, even after re-installing Q3A.

Any help (even commiseration) would help!

////////////////////
Vague recall about a map maker having probs with findname.
Looks like a delete (not reinstall) of pak0 and drag/copy/replace with
the one from the cdrom.
crc32 shows same value with pak0 on the cdrom and q3 folder (70988fc1)
117 has that pak2 with updated maps -q3dm9 and q3tourney6_ctf.
Maybe try moving out that pak2
Should also consider moving out any custom map pk3.
who knows? Recall the probs some maps had with missing textures
when client didn't have those 3wave maps ( they linked to textures
there) 3wpak0.

Reinstall didn't help? Give up.
Save/move what files you want. Delete (not uninstall) Q3 folder
and start fresh (kept 117?)
