Quake (1) multiplayer?

geeza · 18 Oct 2007 at 20:22

Ive been looking through steam and ive seen quake listed near the top in multiplayer for the metascore. Ive got and had quake for many years but if i bought it again through steam is there loads of people playing it online??

sorry, no idea what qwtf is and quake wars in general. is it worth getting on steam to be able to play some multiplayer servers (im guessing steam have a lobby or something)

I have quake installed but dont know anything about quake wars

You can add Quake 1 to the steam system now!

wether or not the system searches for servers for you aswell i dont know, but steam have been advertising and selling Quake... so id say pretty much that it does.

thats exactly what i want to find out before i waste money on something i already have that doesnt even find any servers or have a lobby

anyone bought it on steam?

Just install nQuake and drop your .pak files from Quake into the /id1 subdir:

http://nquake.sourceforge.net/

that doesnt work. I downloaded it and it doesnt download the different parts. Just keeps giving errors :confused:

Hmmm, strange.

Gah - just checked on the forum and it seems a new version was released today, any chance you could report the installer bug here: http://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=30717#p30717

edit: in the meantime, get ezquake from here: http://ezquake.sourceforge.net/
It's basically nquake but without so many extras.

just tried it again. seems to be working now. must have been a problem with servers or something
