You could just run vanilla Quake 2 straight from Steam, but there are multiple modded versions of the game that modify the original files with great features. Step 2 is deciding how you want to run the game. There’s also the $30 Quake Collection that packages up the older Quake games and their expansions.ĭownloading Quake II from Steam and installing it is the first step of the installation process. The easier option is to download Quake II on Steam for $10. But that’s a bit more work than most of us want to put into playing a game. If you want to build your own version of Quake 2 from the source code, you can download that on Github right here. This week’s Pixel Boost tackles one of the most popular versions of Quake II, KMQuake2, in 4K. As a result, there are tons of customized versions of Quake II out there that apply higher resolution textures, easily support modern operating systems, and can run in widescreen at high resolutions. Quake II’s technology stuck around for years the iD Tech 2 engine powered games like Daikatana and Anachronox, and in 2001, John Carmack made the code open source. It’s hard to overstate how big a deal a sequel to Quake was in 1997 as PC Gamer editor-in-chief Gary Whitta wrote in 1997, “Fourteen pages dedicated to a preview of one game? More than 70 screenshots? Have we gone insane? A few months ago we might have thought so ourselves-but that was before we saw Quake II in action for the first time.” In between those two landmark games, iD released Quake II, which added a more involved single-player campaign (with cinematics!) and native OpenGL support. Its influence is still felt today, and people are still playing it on Steam. In 1999, Quake III Arena defined the online multiplayer shooter.

I also tried to install it with wine and i did the full install so i wouldn't need to mount the image every time i wanted to play the game but it still tells me i need the the quake2 cd-rom even when the image is mounted. bin file with a cue file and i have it mounted with acetone i know its a good image because i tested it on a windows pc and it installed fine Did you mean to use the -null anyone help:confused: It cannot be passed through in the argument list. Xargs: Warning: a NUL character occurred in the input. I used the data installer and i got this sudo dpkg-reconfigure quake2-dataįind: `x-nautilus-desktop:///1.volume/players': No such file or directory Also if you search the forum you will see people complaining about the same problems.Ĭan u use a disk image to install the game my cd drive broke so i had a friend make a disk image of my copy Just my 0.02, if you have had any other experiences with getting Quake2 to work please post. I'm not sure there might be slight mouse delay but it's very hard to really notice, I just feel a little odd but I'm getting used to it. With Wine and my Quake2 folder, I can run everything pretty well maxing out at 100+ fps. Stuck in window mode for certain gl modes, mouse stuttering problems also. Sound, sound and more sound problems and even when you finally get OSS to work with some parameters the sound slows the hell out of the game and you get like 20 fps.

Mods like Action Quake2 don't work! Only part of the game data works correctly the rest doesn't load on +set gameĭefault gl based rendering engines kinda suck

Quake2 is not version 3.20 under linux, repos have some odd version, linux version is 3.21. Most if not all (at least I haven't found 1), suffer from a number of problems.

I spent a good part of today trying to get Quake2 up and running, I have tried the repos, manual installation, and loki's installer, and bunch of other ports.
