Issues fixed
Quiet music playback
- The music playback in Quake (2021) is quiet even when the music volume is set to maximum.
Use QEXPatch[14] |
---|
|
Manually hex edit the game's executable[15] |
---|
|
No individual weapon bindings
- Weapon bindings through the menu is rather limited. Only 'previous weapon', 'next weapon' and 'weapon wheel' are available. Unfortunately, the weapon wheel is not really suited to a mouse.
- Open the console. On QWERTY keyboards, you have to press the tilde (~) key. If you don't use a QWERTY keyboard, the key you have to press is just below the escape key.
- Type 'bind <key> impulse' followed by a number. Each weapon equals a number. In the base game, that goes from '1' to '8'. The Scourge of Armagon mission pack adds another weapon to remap.
Weapon | Number |
---|---|
Axe / Mjolnir | 1 |
Shotgun | 2 |
Double-Barreled Shotgun | 3 |
Nailgun / Lava Nailsgun | 4 |
Super Nailgun / Super Lava Nailsgun | 5 |
Grenade Launcher / Proximity Mine Launcher / Multi-Grenades Launcher | 6 |
Rocket Launcher / Multi-Rockets Launcher | 7 |
Thunderbolt / Plasma Cell Thunderbolt | 8 |
Laser Cannon | 225 |
Issues unresolved
No online connectivity on Windows 7
- Attempting to play Online Multiplayer on Windows 7 may cause a "Lost connection to online services" error.[16]
The operating system version is below the minimum system requirement of Windows 10.
