Game data
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
!
