QUAKE 4 PATCHES MODS
It is absolutely guaranteed that Quake 4 will have a range of user-made maps and mods created for it in the fine tradition of both the earlier Quake series, and the highly modifiable Doom 3 engine upon which it is based. Thanks go to Activision for removing it so quickly after the game's release.
QUAKE 4 PATCHES INSTALL
You don't need any form of 'No-CD' or 'Fixed Image' any longer, the patch removes all such requirements, so install the latest patch and enjoy the game. Update: As of the 1.04 Patch the CD/DVD check has been officially removed by Activision. Just be aware they exist, and they work, and hopefully Raven will remove the CD check in a future patch. However while there are No-CD patches, and methods like the use of virtual images which can circumvent this, I can't cover these here as usual for legal reasons. I really find this objectionable, given the game relies on a CD Key to protect the game from illegal users playing online, which is where the bulk of Quake 4's playability comes from. Software like Alcohol, Daemon Tools and CloneCD can and will cause problems when attempting to install/run Quake 4, so if necessary uninstall/disable this software to ensure Quake 4 runs without any problems.įinally, Quake 4 also has a CD check, whereby you must have the game CD in your CD/DVD drive to launch the game. Quake 4 also checks to make sure you don't have certain drive emulation or CD copying software installed. Quake 4 has a protection system based primarily on a CD Key check - you must have a valid CD Key to install and play Quake 4 online. I will provide further details of any new patches here as soon as they come out, so keep an eye on this section. The most significant of these are covered in more detail in the Advanced Tweaking section of the guide, and some, such as r_skipSky ('Enable Detailed Sky') have been added to the main in-game GUI, so see the In-Game Settings section for new details.
Note 3: Patch 1.4.2 adds several new commands including: si_fps, s_earSeperationAlgo, s_mp_minVolume, s_mp_maxWindow, g_weaponFovEffect, g_playerLean, g_nailTrail, g_grenadeTrail, g_rocketTrail, g_railTrail, g_napalmTrail, pm_slidevelocity, and pm_powerslide. As of the 1.4.2 patch it can now also be changed in the game's main settings, so see the 'Force Ambient Light' option in the In-Game Settings section. Note 2: Patch 1.3 adds a new r_forceambient variable which can force ambient lighting throughout each level to make things less dark. Alternatively, you can use the r_useSMP 1 setting in the console - see pages 6 and 8 of this guide for more details on this option. Note: To enable dual core/HT optimizations available in the latest patch for a performance boost, once the patch is installed, go to the in-game settings, and under System>Advanced Options, set the 'Multiple CPU/Core' setting to Yes. Alternatively, you can download patches from the Quake 4 sections of FileShack or FilePlanet among the other usual places for patch and file downloads.
QUAKE 4 PATCHES UPDATE
If an update is found, you will be told and you can install it to keep your game up to date. To make sure that you're running the latest version of Quake 4 at any time, make sure you have an active Internet connection and click on the Updates item at the bottom of the game's main menu screen on a regular basis. All in all the patch is a must-install for all players of the game.
The patch also incorporates all previous patch changes/fixes (including the beta patches), including Dual Core/HyperThreading optimizations and a wide range of bug fixes, new multiplayer maps, new game modes, and new features.
QUAKE 4 PATCHES FULL
The latest is the 1.4.2 Patch, weighing in at 267MB in full form, containing a range of singleplayer and multiplayer fixes, with the focus on multiplayer.
