Old sources crash when compiled in fully updated win 7

[revelator]

Ran into a rather strange problem it would seem.
Tried to do some work on my realm engine, and it crashed outright after i built it, so i thought maybe some of the changes i did was at fault but even after reverting it still crashes.
So i tried to build tomazquake 148 from an unmodified source, and it also crashes Oo in fact all older quake engines crash outright, and so far the only ones i could get running where quakespasm darkplaces and FTE.
Seems the older sources have some nasties that no longer fly though im a bit baffled as to which windows update changed things this much.

Yeah, vanilla glquake is known to crash with newer drivers due to GL strings overflowing the string buffer and the range checks missing..

Ah beat me dead and string me up Just goes to tell how long i have been away cause i actually used to know this
Guess getting upto speed again will take some time.

Btw does anyone know where to get the sources for telejano quake ?, the old site is down and googling it only turns up links for the engine itself.

PM sent and thanks.

Found the problem with my old realm engine's slowness, its caused by the lack of compiled vertex array support,
which i unfortunatly had to remove because newer cards crash when it is enabled.
Found that one out by building the unmodified MHQuake8 version.
I have a feeling this engine will need a rather hefty restructuring before it hits the same speeds that it had all those years ago :/
But in the end it might be for the better, would also allow me to get GLSL shader support in from remakequake and probably batch rendering.
