Quake2 RTX Multiplayer?
- Thread starter Edward78
- Start date
Didnt even know it had been updated so multiplayer is available. Just tried it and whilst my quicksave doesnt work as its now a different version, multiplayer works great
Do I need the full q2 for multiplayer?
I expect so. I thought everyone owns a copy of Quake II. Over the years I think ive owned 3 hard copies and a couple on Steam
It "ships" with the demo (which IIRC does have multiplayer but only limited maps) but if you have a full install you can point it at that to import the full game files and/or manually copy the full game files into the RTX install yourself.
Not sure what the RTX MP scene is like and/or compatibility with non-RTX servers as I've not really bothered with MP with it aside from some local coop with a mod I made.

Not everyone has a CD from 25ish years ago, oh well I found a full version. The menu font is a bit small on this 23", I have to take phone and zoom in on screen. Old people vision (well ok 44 is not old right?), yay. This should do nicely, LG 32MP60G-B Monitor 31.5" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS Display, AMD FreeSync, 1ms MBR Response Time, Refresh Rate 75Hz, On-Screen Control - Black
Something a bit wrong if the menu font is small - there are some options for it but I forget details, the menu should be scaled fairly big.
ui_scale in the console will change the menu scale - 0 should be default which I think is automatic - increasing numbers 1-4 make it bigger, decreasing smaller (it can go below zero i.e. 0.5).

Can I set that in the .cfg file?
Should be able to put seta ui_scale 0 (or try 1-4) in the q2config.cfg file. Check it doesn't exist in there first though.
I looked at it in Plasma & put ui_scale in search & got nothing. The file is just config.cfg here. Seta, not Set?

Me either, my CDs are long gone. Probably in the garage at my parents house, or have been binned by them 20 years ago when I left home
Glad you found a full version. It can be found for Steam download for a whole £1.18!
Along with having it from one of the id packs on Steam I've also still got like 3 boxed copies of the game including the original CD purchase and got 2 other copies of it in physical bundles. One of the few games I've kept the physical copies of.
Despite being a huge Quake 2 fan I've never really bothered with most of the official add-ons or DLCs - for some reason I've never really gelled with the take on the game by 3rd party studios. Had a lot of fun from mods and other player created add-ons, etc. though.

Yes, I always played with a gamepad, I got on the leader boards with a 16.8k "K" not M, connector. BTW, Q2 had a alt. attack from weapons right, I am sure it did, but I don't see it in action binds?.Joystick for Quake II ??

I never tried it in Q2 but I used to rock joystick + mouse in Unreal Tournament.
My fave mod was ChaosDM.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTcLMGSmsuw
