---|---|---|
Quake III: Team Arena | Included with Quake III: Gold. |
Version differences
- Quake III: Gold includes the base game along with the Quake III: Team Arena expansion.
Vanilla
The original, closed-source versions of the game still work for online multiplayer. Many users may prefer to use more recent, improved engines based on the source code release.
Quake Live
id Software launched a free-to-play browser-based port of Quake III titled Quake Live, that has since migrated to Steam and is no longer free-to-play. Most players have migrated to this service to continue playing, as it adds new features and game modes, and improves compatibility with newer systems.
Essential improvements
Official patch
- Digital distribution platforms such as GOG and Steam are already have the latest version.
- The latest official patch is 1.32c, it can be downloaded from Quake 3 World.
Graphics improvements
Increase LOD (reduce pop-in)
After starting the game, open the console, write /r_subdivisions -1; r_lodbias -1
then press Enter. The first command increases world geometry detail, whereas the second command uses high-quality models regardless of the viewing distance.
- A source port is required.
- An additional mod is required for Team Arena support.
- Widescreen support is integrated. Enter the following into the console for 1920x1080 (example):
/exec res1920x1080
- You get the highest possible graphic settings with:
/exec hq
- New assets are faithful to original HUD and menus.
Neural upscaled textures
- All in-game textures, upscaled with Waifu2x and SFTGAN.
- Upscaled textures are faithful to the original textures.
Source ports
While the original Quake III Arena point releases still work on modern systems, the release of the engine's source code has enabled the creation of additional variants that improve upon the game but are backwards compatible for multiplayer play. These versions do not support PunkBuster anti-cheat and thus cannot connect to servers using it, though very few still exist. Which one to use is a matter of taste.
- ioquake3 is recommended for authenticity to the original; Quake3e and Spearmint is recommended for graphical enhancements and quality-of-life features.
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
ioquake3 | A port of the engine to SDL to assist in multi-platform development of stand-alone mods for the Quake III engine. Includes an auto updater which automatically updates the software with a new version. | |
Quake3e | Fork of ioquake3. Adds bug fixes, security and performance improvements as well as some quality of life features for competitive play. | |
Spearmint | Fork of ioquake3. Update in-game menu with modern graphics settings like MSAA or anisotropic filtering, and supports XInput controllers and split screen multiplayer up to 4 players. Does not support vanilla Quake III Arena servers, mods or demos. Stopped development as of October 2018[1], with the latest update from July 2020.[2] |
Mods
Quake 3 servers often use modifications in order to enhance the game in some way.
Challenge Promode Arena
- Challenge Promode Arena (CPMA) is a modification which supports two gameplay styles (vanilla and promode) and many different game modes. It is often used for competitive play.
Defrag
- Defrag (q3df) is a modification that removes the deathmatch from Quake 3 (de-fragging it), replacing it with obstacle courses for bunnyhopping, trickjumping, and surfing, to name a few.
- Secondary resource here.
