QUake installation Thread

Hey i recently downloaded quake, then i installed it. BUt i cant run it. I have window xp. So i dont know what the problem is. Its fully installed but i cant run it. Once i try to open it i get a pop up for like 1 sec. then it dissapears

WAREZ0R jk

you cant run dos quake under windows xp, get a modern engine modification, like tomazquake, darkplaces or even glquake:P

wait what its not warez.

what do you mean get a modern engine modification?

well quake isnt free to download

unless it was the shareware version

hmm, well quake should be abandonware today

...

err wait a second i dont remember the website name:P

EDIT: Icculus.org

and btw, the screens are from the dynamic lightning mode, the normal one looks pretty badder

what did you mean by that. And what is that website you posted is it a mod or something?

it is an ENGINE MODIFICATION, it doesnt modify the gameplay (there are normal modifications for this), but it modifies some game aspects like graphics etc.

w00t

hey thanks it finally works, but guess what. No servers are up/ so that sucks do you have darkplaces?

i have, but i have got also some connection problems, which i need to solve out ...

hmm... thats wierd how there isnt 1 server. Is there usually alot of server?

actually, there arent ANY servers because nobody plays quake no more

yea i have seen

i dont see why they done

Darkplaces has no dedicated master server, that's why. If there was you'd see plenty ;P

wait so how can i play multiplayer?

can i not use darkplaces?

you have to get quakeworld and gamespy to find servers but people mostly just play team fortress on gamespy

quake 1 doesnt run for me

are you trying to run dosquake with xp?

Quake is played online a lot, actually
