Quality settings fix
Modern high end GPUs with a lot of memory can cause Quake 4 to ignore any other quality mode than low quality. To force the ultra quality settings create a new file named autoexec.cfg
under the q4base
directory of the game's own directory and put the following lines:
seta image_downSize "0" seta image_downSizeBump "0" seta image_downSizeSpecular "0" seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR" seta image_ignoreHighQuality "0" seta image_roundDown "0" seta image_useCompression "0" seta image_useNormalCompression "0" seta image_anisotropy "16" seta image_lodbias "0' seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR" seta r_renderer "best"
- When saving the file make sure you save it with the
.cfg
extension! If the file extensions are not visible in Explorer, Notepad will create a file namedautoexec.cfg.txt
instead ofautoexec.cfg
!

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/2210/
. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (2210) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
