Dunno about Wolfy ... but some other games you can fix this buy setting the "Vertical Sync" setting to "ON" ... (which means your fps will only be as fast as your screen refresh rate).
Worth a try maybe :)

hi there again, yeah i tried that already to no avail, one thing i have noticed is that i have this problem with all games that use the Q3 engine, alice did it, heavt metal fak2 did it, Q3 did it and now this does it, very strange, i have no idea wot to do...i have tried all the vert sync options. also i have had this prob ever since i have had my comp, it is no OS specific, it happened in ME, 98se and XP....very weird...never managed to solve it....if anyone has any suggestions they will b gratefully recieved.
