Quake 1 has a sound track? You mean those noises and ambient sounds that Trent Reznor jizzed all over a microphone and called music? Yeah it can be weird and creepy like Quake 1 was back in the day. Quake 2's Sonic Mayhem soundtrack is kickass, I remember burning that shit to CD for car rides with friends. I absolutely agree that Quake 3 was fantastic and I really really wanted a Single player campaign. Quake 3 Arena lives on in Quake Live, we play every night come and join us in Clan Arena!!!

You will always have all the source ports for quake and quake 2. The new campaigns are awesome, the lore was always fucking trash anyways, so complaining about it being cringeworthy.....the original lore was incredibly cringeworthy. I get you don't like the changes, fine. It's not like the old game is gone now. It's not like all the mods and source ports are gone now. They're still being worked on. Also, the new Quake 1 episodes are awesome. I really don't get the hate.

I've been having weird crashes on my wife's computer, whole computer freezes, video driver timeouts etc. Turned out to be swap file, a forum post said to change the default, which was like 512MBs, to 16GBs. Tried that, and so far no more crashes. Man is linux ever brittle though. I can be playing for hours and days without issues, then all of a sudden it won't boot properly and I'll have to ALT+F3 and do some shenanigans. So annoying.

That's awesome to hear. I'm actually excited to play this.

I was thinking this too but I have been having lots of issues on Linux with it. Will be nice to have something I can install and just hit play. Have they said anything about custom map support?

Older TVs that were just dumb TVs had no complex signal processor to upscale and color correct and do fancy things, so they were....ok. 60hz were still like 33 ms or higher. Modern Game mode just bypasses most of that stuff, which is fine by me. EDIT: I meant older as in older smart TVs.

If you have a subscription on rtings.com, one of the tests for monitors and TVs is input latency. It's crazy how bad older TVs were, especially in cinema/movie mode. I remember playing on my old LG LED TV and in cinema mode it was measured at 120ms of input lag, unplayable. Switching everything off, got it to about 50 ms, not great but at least playable. Now in game mode on my new Samsung QDOLED, at 144hz input latency is in single digits.

My issue was that when starting the computer, the first log in screen would be a 60hz, and on OLED that causes horrendous flicker due to PWM voltage control. Input latency also gets high on lower refresh rates (>60 ms on some monitors), so moving the mouse around on the log in screen felt awful. Even my non gamer wife immediately noticed how not nice the log in screen was compared to the Windows 11 log in. Once I logged in, and the monitor switched modes to 240 or 360 or 540 hz, I could log out and it would be at the high refresh. So I did some research first and all the guides for kubuntu/ubuntu basically said the same thing, modify SDDM and apply plasma settings to the SDDM. This did NOT work for refresh rate on first boot. So I did more research and edited some files, still didn't work. So I asked the question on the forums. 90% was Apply Plasma Settings... in the SDDM section, and the other 10% were, you don't need that, that's not important, you're dumb for asking this question.

I'm on Linux now (Kubuntu 26.04 / kernel 7+) Still haven't changed my opinion on the help forums, there is STILL a lot of assholes gatekeeping / new user bashing. My favourite is "Linux is super power user friendly and you can do pretty much anything that you want!" Cool, how can I do this? "Why do you need that? You don't need that! Just leave it the way it is!"

Yeah that looks great, reminds me of the work Wolfire did on Overgrowth. They did so much work to get good frame interpolation they could do very convincing walks and stuff with a handful of keyframes.

This has bothered me for years also.

Beautiful work you guys! @Arcturus I would suggest for showing off model detail is to have static lights, like a lamp, next to the model, and have the models slowly rotating on the table, instead of moving the camera around the object. But man, those are gorgeous.

Imma feel REAL dumb if I didn't do that....BRB! EDIT: Yup I'm dumb lol, I did have both, must have found the other one without realizing it!

Reading through this thread gave me the itch to play this again. I went around collecting a bunch of money, but I can only buy the one lockpick, the other one isn't frobbable. Is this expected?

LOL and here I am playing at 115-120 FOV on 16:9
