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 named autoexec.cfg.txt instead of autoexec.cfg!
