YQ2 is the most stable of them because so many invalid reads are fixed. The most obvious way to find problems in Quake 2 is playing coop. If anything gameplay wise is changed, it is a bug that should be reported. I prefer Yamagi Quake II and Quakespasm because they are vanilla with many bugfixes. And maybe a name is a bit misleading but it does changes absolutely nothing gameplay wise, only fixes. Unfortunately I'm a purist and in case of Quake 1 the best option was Fitzquake Mark V, and in this particular case of Quake 2 it was Knightmare's Unofficial Patch 3.24. I don't usually suggest some out of the blue, prefer to do a little research and find the best solution for my taste.

It's how I play the original team fortress rather than team fortress classic.Cadaver747: It least it was for me and tried Yamagi along with two other ports (forgot the name Quake2Max or something and a recent one with lighting effects). It's a bit to do compaired to just finding the commands and imputting them into the console, but in the end, ezquake is much easier to use and brings added functions. For 1920x1080 you will likely want to turn on wide aspec as well. It will ask you something about the directory which I can't remember what it exactly said, but just let it change it.Īnd voila, your quake now has a much easier to use click based interface with options to improve the graphics even further than the original quake.Īlso the resolution option is under system, not graphics. From there on, you will have to fireup quake from the ezquake in your games library, not from the quake. Get whichever version your os supports then install it.It will ask for the location of your quake installation, which is typically underĬ:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Quakeįrom there, open up steam, then go to +add a game.Ezquake should be one of the options avaible to you. Proquake on the otherhand is used mainly as a multiplayer client, something ezquake does as well. I personally use ezquake as nquake is based off of ez, and darkplaces lacks a multiplayer browser. There is commands you can use in the commandline to change the resolution but that may be a pain to use so I suggest getting a quake client such as ezquake,nquake,dark places, or Proquake.
