I hope you got it to work properly now and wish you fun with the game! :) Thank you so much! These instructions were so much clearer! The game is working properly now!ġ4.Dynamic balancing of game difficulty can help cater for different levels of ability in players. Syrion: Hey there, it's been a while since I've played Quake 2, so I just downloaded it and I'll try to make the installation instructions a bit easier to follow :) I'm using standard folder names, of course you can name the folders any way you like. I hope you got it to work properly now and wish you fun with the game! :) For example, by changing gl_texturemode to (or directly typing in) gl_texturemode gl_nearest you can completely disable texture filtering to get a very pixelated but also crisp image, if that's what you like. Note that if you want to change any settings beyond what the options menu offers, you need to change the config.cfg file that can be found under " C:\Users\%YOURNAME%\Documents\YamagiQ2\baseq2" as well as the folders rogue and xatrix for the corresponding addon if you play them, or by directly opening the console in the game (pressing the ~ or ^ button on your keyboard). Although, I recommend keeping the nice GOG shortcut icons! If you wish, you can now uninstall the GOG installation of Quake 2, the "Yamagi Quake II" folder is all you need to play the game. Otherwise, some files might interfere with the version of the game. Now, you should have a fully working version of Quake 2 and its addons! The point of all the copying around instead of just using the GOG installation folder is to have a "clean" version of the game with only the files you need. Rename the shortcut "Quake II - The Reckoning" To the field called "Target", add the following line: set game xatrix (The field should now look like this: "C:\GOG Games\Yamagi Quake II\quake2.exe" set game xatrixġ6. Repeat stepts 8 11 (for another shortcut)ġ5. Rename the shortcut "Quake II - Ground Zero"ġ4. To the field called "Target", add the following line: set game rogue (The field should now look like this: "C:\GOG Games\Yamagi Quake II\quake2.exe" set game rogueġ3. Right-click the new shortcut, click on "Properties"ġ2. Repeat step 8 (to create another shortcut)ġ1. Create a shortcut to " quake2.exe" (right-click on it, click on "Create shortcut.")ġ0. Download the zip-file Yamagi Quake II 7.01 for Windows from here and extract the contents of the included quake2 folder into " C:\GOG Games\Yamagi Quake II"Ĩ. Copy " C:\GOG Games\Quake II\music" to " C:\GOG Games\Yamagi Quake II\baseq2" as well as " C:\GOG Games\Yamagi Quake II\rogue" and " C:\GOG Games\Yamagi Quake II\xatrix"ħ. (This part is admittedly annoying) Open " C:\GOG Games\Quake II\music", remove the word " Track" from all the filenames, for example: " Track02.ogg" should become " 02.ogg", etc.Ħ. Open the folder " C:\GOG Games\Quake II" and copy the following files/folders to the corresponding folder in " C:\GOG Games\Yamagi Quake II":ĥ. Open the folder " C:\GOG Games\Yamagi Quake II" and delete the following files:Ĥ. Download the Quake 2 Patch v2.30 from here and install it to " C:\GOG Games\Yamagi Quake II"ģ. Download Quake 2 from GOG.com and install it to " C:\GOG Games\Quake II"Ģ. Hey there, it's been a while since I've played Quake 2, so I just downloaded it and I'll try to make the installation instructions a bit easier to follow :) I'm using standard folder names, of course you can name the folders any way you like. I feel like the instructions are too vague, not to mention I have no idea how I'm supposed to access the source port afterwards (ZDoom and Chocolate Doom at least have handy icons to navigate to). I've tried unzipping the file into the Quake II folder, but the way the instructions are worded wants me to copy the files from Quake II into the baseq2 folder? But the files are already there? And if they aren't the files where do I find the Quake II files? The large list of mods that come with the game really don't help matters either since I'm not sure where to look for. The instructions are extremely confusing. At your suggestion I downloaded Yamagi but I can't seem to figure out the installation process. In the case of Quake 2, Yamagi Quake 2, despite its unusual name, does exactly the latter and should let you run the game on Windows 10 with music without much hassle. Both games have source ports available that either enhance the game in any way, as well ones that simply try to replicate the original version as best as possible while offering much higher compatibility with modern systems. It's always quickly thrown out there whenever someone experiences problems with Quake 1 and 2, but it's for good reason. Syrion: I agree with dr.schliemann, using a source port is your best bet.
