I haven't played in a while, is this a new vanity?
jesus christ how horrifying

Dare you go in /arena/ ?

Yes. You unlock it if you own TEW2 on Steam.

>The road splits inside
Hell YEAH, so many decisions!

Don't forget about the exclusive Terror Billy costume unlocked by owning Wolf 2 on Steam. Now with clipping issues fixed!

>fixed many gamebreaking issues

Those triples are dedicated for you

any quakers on f-list yet?

when QC goes f2p, will I be able to merge it with my bethesda launcher account?

Almost certainly...You launch it on Steam and enter your Bethesda login as it is

>page 10 already
welp

>install Quake Champions
>it's actually Doom Champions

That would probably imply some official iteration of Samsara though.

>Install Doom
>It's actually Quake Champions

>they said warmup stutters are gone

How hard do you guys think Todd is whipping Tim daily over QC

>Caleb in Quake Champions
One can only dream ;_;

>Warner Bros. Entertainment
Never ever. At least Devolver might be willing to whore out Lo Wang

As rad as this is I would rather see these guys come up with something new.

todd shoves out shit all the time so probably not at all

His shit sells like crazy, though.

If that were ever to happen then he would definitely need an old wang skin. Wasn't really fan of either of those new games, especially shadow "borderlands" warrior 2.

Easy. Reboot is the default, classic is the lore skin

Why would they bother with a failure of a game like QC
I didn't like SW2, but Flying Wild Hog is an order of magnitude more technically proficient than idSaber

>Flying Wild Hog is an order of magnitude more technically proficient than idSaber

SW remake was bretty gud, SW2 was shit, but Hard Reset was a fucking masterpiece

Their in-house engine is seriously underrated/underused. And it shits all over Sabertech, even SW2 co-op had no issues for me

>SW remake was bretty gud
tedious bulletspongefest, pretty funny tho

Why is the railgun so unsatisfying in Quake 3?

Really? I like it best out of all railguns
Try Q4 for a plastic-y bullshit-feeling rail

are the enemies bullet spongy only on the highest difficulty? might give it another try.

>page 10
c'mon guise

H U H

Q2 railgun is more satisfying to me than the QL one.

HUH

lawbreakers is free to play this weekend. why aren't you playing?

Because I would be the only one playing.

Lawbreakers is also 50% off. They are really struggling for any playerbase.

i'll probably try it but after finding out about descent-clones thanks to this general all my non-quake time is basically taken up entirely

>descent-clones
say whaaaat?

Bought Overload immediately upon finding out about its existence and I love it already. It's literally Descent 1/2 in gameplay, made by Descent devs. Eternal thanks to whichever user reminded me of 6dof games last thread.

nice, you should also check out Crime Cities, recently rereleased on gog, especially if you liked G-Police

I loved descent, I'm interested too. I'll probably pick it up

>Crime Cities

Hmmm never played it or G-Police, basically only played Descent 1/2 and Forsaken. Looks interesting so I'll probably pick it up too.

>youtu.be/ZTEIh0sLlc0
Imo G-Police holds up after all these years. Gameplay is still decent (but can be hard as shit sometimes), story is surprisingly good and cutscenes, even if 3D pre-rendered, are on par with Final Fantasy (and we are talking about 1997).

how do i play ad_sepulcher it doesnt load up with injector and it's not in the arcane dimensions missions hub
first portal i entered crashed the game but the i jump on the half life 1 ferry to the beginning level which ive been in for almost 1 and a half hours on hard trying to complete it in one go since there are no save files and im having a blast

but i originally came for Ad sepulcher
any1 kno?

So is qc good now?

youtube.com/watch?v=Zz7CHe3y-lo
now you look at this

Is anyone here playing lawbreakers this free weekend?
How is it?
Is it an arena fps?

It's another mobashooter

I installed it but only checked out the tutorial yesterday.

also,
>store page says 35 gigs required
>it's actually 45

played for nine minutes when i was very very young
turned it off

HUH

literally what
QUAKE ERROR: Hunk_Alloc: failed on 1048608 bytes
-mem 64 -winmem 66 and -heapsize 64000 do nothing to counter this problem

quake 1? which sourceport?

Is netcode finally fixed? Is it finally playable? Should I buy it again?

no, meh, no

I like it but you should try it out yourself.

/ourguy/ Milton streamin

quakespasm?
the fucks a source port

>A source port is a software project based on the source code of a game engine that allows the game to be played on operating systems or computing platforms with which the game was not originally compatible.
how do you post in a quake-centric thread and not know what a sourceport is

good question
how does anyone post anything anywhere

...

...

noice

Odd. Are you using Quakespasm? It works flawlessly here. Crashes on level loads and teleporter entrances are usually sourceport problems

If you're using Quakespasm, check if it's the latest version

...

quakespasm.sourceforge.net/
downloaded it from here this morning

I'm assuming you're using the command line to properly load AD? Your comment about not being able to save made it looks like you're trying to load AD maps in regular Quake, which will break a lot of things

Use these command line launch options:
-fitz -sndspeed 44100 -game ad

It's ESSENTIAL to change the game to "ad". Things will break otherwise

If you're using Steam, it will look something like this. Disregard that I'm loading other mod instead of AD. If you're using the executable, right click on it and find the option for launch parameters

Also, don't sweat about my "+map" command, that's because this mod's initial level was called something other than "start". With AD you don't need to do this

Stream soon

lets play some quake 2
67.228.69.114:27912

I use the injector
i can add these to the command line instead of steam?

...

Anyone play the latest Tribes clone called "Midair"?
store.steampowered.com/app/439370/Midair/

It's early access, and I don't really do early access. But maybe some of you anons have played it.

Yeah it's pretty good it's like Tribe 1.

...

...

i want to kick that chair

Try typing them where it says "Quake Executable"

i thought the command line was the exact same thing as steam launch options/ normal .exe command line

Does that one Tribes Ascend bro who is always making the webms around? Has he played it?

That's what it is. But you may need to rename the sourceport .exe to "Quake.exe"

No idea who that is. It's a game for classic tribes fans and not Ascend fans although it does streamline it a bit to accommodate the latter.

try skipping the quake injector entirely and just making a shortcut to the quake exe
i never trusted that shit specifically due to fuckery like this

Livestream is up
Who cares about these mongoloids though, they can't give us real answers about the game's development, they're just community managers

am I gonna sound like an autist if I say that it feels like I aim better with the default railgun compared to the Q2 skin?

>Content patch in December

Feelsbadman

holy shit
rip in peace QC
Tim and Sync probably fucked off when it became obvious they would be unable to deliver fixes fast enough and everyone would just shit on them and their spintastic PR on chat

Nah, it's all a matter of preference. For example I aim better with the Q2 railgun but couldn't imagine using a centered rail of any sort despite having every other weapon centered with the Q1 skin when applicable.

ok so i just replace filenames and stuff and do everything manually then. siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
thx for help

damn really makes you think huh..
