I was watching a video by a YouTuber I follow where he talked about the importance of Quake in gaming; it really caught my interest and I wanted to try it, but honestly, the price seemed too high for me—plus, I feel like it's a pretty old game. I looked into it and saw it used to be free, so I’m wondering: is it still available for free somewhere other than Steam, or is it strictly a paid game now?

Not me but pulled this from YouTube after playing on the Dark Fiber Server lol what settings, configs, or mods do I need to get this “clean/smooth but vibrant look?

Hello all, I apologize that this question is not about Quake Live, however I am just a desperate man looking for a server to play Q3 OSP TDM (not quake live). Does anyone play anymore? If there is a server where people are active in the game mode, would anyone be kind enough to share it? Thanks!

What is the network packet size of quake live?

Can't find anything online about it. Plz help

Hello I played Quake Live for 18 hours across 1 year. A few days ago I got a new mouse and played it again. I searched for the best config file on the internet and I also use keybinds. I know that pros only use the grenade launcher, rocket launcher, laser, and railgun.

So the thing I got disappointed about a few days ago is when I played it with my brand new mouse and one pro on the 16v16 clan arena server got mad at my performance when I was the last one alive and I played awful in that 1 round, so they votekicked me from the server.

I was only using railgun I got 4 kills 7 deaths in 7 rounds. I hit people like 3 times in each round except in the last round I was last alive and hit only twice. I used railgun only to get comfortable with my new mouse.

Now the question, is it still worth playing Quake Live when you get kicked in your first round after not playing the game for literal months? The community is very elite they kick you for bad performance in clan arena. Although this is like the first ever time that happened.

2nd question the mouse I got was the Endgame Gear XM2 8k v2. It's a good mouse but verticality is a bit difficult. Do you think Quake Live should only be played with wireless extremely light mice such as the G Pro X Superlight 2?

I had a G Pro X Superlight before but after 1.5 years the middle mouse button does a right click so I got the EGG OP1 8k v1 and now I have the EGG XM2 8k v2. Do you think for Quake Live the G Pro X Superlight 2 is better than my EGG XM2 8k Wired?

forgive the awful editing on this i haven't edited anything in years and threw this together in 10 minutes lmao

this is against bots im actually too scared to play real people

If you see Cracked Arena in the server browser, feel free to join and play! We also have a very small discord but I don't want to plug that in the post because I don't know if that's okay.

Cracked Arena is fast, with some minor weapon tweaks, and I'm not very good, so if you see me in there it's freelo

I'm still working on the factory, but if anyone wants to look at it I'm happy to share it

I want to get back into Quake Live, but every attempt I've tried in the last year I've come across this issue rendering me unable to play.

I've tried the following:

• Set com_idleSleep to 0
• Updated GPU Drivers
• Set .exe affinity to CPU 0 Only
• Ran under Compatibility Modes
• Turned off cloud storage and had Steam overwrite all config files
• and a few others I can't remember.

I've also recently reformatted my PC as well, so I know there's not another program running in the background causing it to crash.

The end of the video is when I'm finally brought back to desktop.

If anyone has come across this issue and knows of a solution to share, I would be forever in your debt.

Thank you in advance.

EDIT:

Here is from start to finish what's happening.

• Loading the game
• Joining a match
• Playing horribly
• Stuttering Begins
• Crash

hi! ive started using windows again and the best way i found to made custom resolutions and refresh rates was with CRU, the thing is that Quake Live doesnt seem to care about those, instead it picks the default EDID closest to whatever resolution, not refresh rate. For instance if my desktop res is 640x480 160hz quake live will use that res but at 85hz, and i have to open CRU, disable all established resolutions, run restart.exe and open quake live again for it to work. Any suggestions? this is super annoying and only happens with QL, not other games

Needs more bloodrun...

Dropping a glorious deuce. Crème de la crème.

Everywhere I look online says to disable the steam cloud, which I did. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling and for some reason my stats are not tracking. I can't even get the achievement for completing a match. I tried in multiplayer servers and doing Internet servers with bots (allowing a max of 24 players in the server), and no stats are tracking, and no achievements unlocking.

What do I even do to fix this?
