I seem to crash between almost every map change these days. The game just freezes after the map, and I have to force quit then reconnect... help!

give us some machine and OS specs to start.
try trashing your configs and do a permissions fix.

Trash my custom confings? nevar.

System Spec:

Power Mac G4 (2.1)
Number of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz

I just completely reformatted and reinstalled OSX about a week ago as per my yearly reformat. I am using the same copy (literally - copied it onto a backup firewire drive than recopied it onto the new OSX volume) of Q3 as before the reinstall though.

make a backup copy of the new config in case you have problems again.

Did you do the permission fix?

Open the q3config.cfg file with a text editor (BBedit for instance). The q3config.cfg file is in the
/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Quake3/q3ut3/ folder.

Change these from their default values.
seta com_hunkMegs "256"
seta s_chunksize "4096"

Those settings could help your problem. BTW I would recommend you get more RAM. 1Gig or more is recommended and you will notice a small performance boost in OS X.

if you only have 512 of ram dont set your hunkmegs to 256. i would set them around the 112 - 128 mark, soundmegs to 32 and zonemegs to 24.
change values in multiples of 8. Remember that openGL uses 50-60 meg
and OSX uses some too.

what version of Urt are you running? this sounds like an older version problem like 2.5 and 2.6 days.

if youve already reinstalled OSX, done a permissions fix, trashed configs,
and run FSCK then all thats left is reinstalling URT from scratch.
