Download winquake full version

Believe they use DOSbox and run fine but honestly you're going to want to use source ports for all three regardless. User Info: MarceloSampaio. Use source ports. Best way to play the games. There's even a few of them for Hexen 2 too. User Info: Vs User Info: ReeNoiP. I use gzdoom when I play them really no reason not to , but the standard dosbox version seems to work fine as well.

I have the Id pack that was on steam some years ago and have successfully played the following older games on W Doom 1 to 3 Hexen Heretic Quake 1 to 4 Wolfenstein 3d Return to Castle woldenstein The Commander Keen collection Haven't gotten around to playing Hexen 2 yet. User Info: Kerr Avon. I can't advise you on which engine to use, sorry, as I've never played either game, though I've heard that Hexen is really good.

I'm a PC and console gamer - I love good games, regardless of their host system. User Info: The cranky hermit. Kerr Avon posted Doesn't look like they are on gog. And what are sourceports? Are they like the clients you can play Doom on? Like zdoom? Memory is a big factor, however.

Regular Quake won't run on anything less than 16 Mb, and runs a whole lot better with more, while GLQuake seems to require a minimum of 24 Mb. If you're serious about playing Quake, or any bleeding-edge game, you should have at least 32 Mb in your computer - it makes a big difference. Doubling your memory size can make a bigger difference than doubling your processor's speed.

Memory's cheap now, so go out and buy some while you can. If you do add extra memory, make sure to set the heapsize properly in Quake. If you have 24 Mb or better you should add this to the end of your QuakeWorld command line:. If you have 32 Mb or more, make the heap This allocates 28 Mb of memory to Quake for heap space. The more the better - the basic rule of thumb is subtract from your available thousands of bytes of RAM and use that number as the heapsize if you 48 Mb, etc.

My system is an aging P with 24 Mb and K Pipeline cache. I have no problem running regular Quake under Win95 in x resolution, although at x it's a little too sluggish to be playable. Using the following line at the console to run a frame rate test:. Running GLQuake at x I get a silky smooth frame rate of 40 fps - over 3 times faster!

Your mileage may vary. For your information, Quake's actual frame rate is only about fps, although rumor has it that Quake II will have an option to run at 20 fps if your computer can handle it.

So why do you need a higher frame rate? Well, you don't, but it can improve game-play dramatically. The amount of processor power required for rendering different scenes, especially in deathmatch Quake deathmatch is a real processor hog , means that the better your average fps to start with, the smoother everything will run without the annoying occasional lag due to the graphics overload. While I can certainly play Quake just fine at 15 fps, 30 fps feels oh so much better.

First, you need to make sure you have the latest version of dial-up networking for Win95 if you have Win98, you already have Dial-up Networking and you can skip this. Download the v1. It will allow you to set up a Dial-up Server. Making sure the network drivers are installed: On both computers , you need to make certain that the proper network driver and client components are installed:. Go to Window's Control Panel, double-click on "Network". You'll probably be asked for the Win95 installation CD, and the computer will reboot when it's done to load the Network driver.

Go back to the installed network components list and check to make sure that "Client for Microsoft Networks" is installed. Again, you'll probably be asked for the Win95 installation CD, and the computer will reboot when it's done to load the client. Under your modem's tab, enable "Allow Caller Access". Click on "Server Type" and make sure that the server type is set to default. Click OK to close this. To setup a Dial-Up Networking connection on the client computer: Now setup a dialer.

Enter a name i. Once the icon is created, right click on it and select properties. That's it. Double-click on the dialer icon you just made to have the client call the host computer. Setup the game for multiplayer as follows:. Follow the prompts from here to setup a game. Setting up Q2 for modem play is a bit more complicated, and I haven't done it myself.

However there's an entire web site dedicated to setting up Quake 2 for modem play. It's VERY detailed and walks you through each step very carefully with pictures. A: You don't need to install the latest version of DirectX unless you purchased some other game that specifically requires it - Quake and Quake2 only require DirectX 3.

That means I don't recommend installing it until you install a game that specifically requires that version to run properly, and that game's installer offers to install it itself. Unless a game requires it, it will get no benefit from the new DirectX.

Moreover, DirectX has a nasty habit of breaking drivers and having compatibility issues in it's initial release. Right after a new DirectX comes out, there's usually all sorts of little problems that pop up. Best to let the retards in Redmond do their beta testing on someone else and delay the installation of DirectX until it's been proven.

Remember, once a version of DirectX is installed, you're stuck with it - there's no uninstall. If it's working fine now, don't screw with it. The full version includes Microsoft "Certified" latin for "crappy" drivers which DX will use to replace your audio, video and 3D drivers. You should always use the latest driver from the manufacturer, whether or not DX recognizes it as certified trust me, it will be.

What should you do if you have already installed a new DX and you want to go back to an older version? DX is not designed to be uninstalled, although it can be done.

I recommend you try using the new version first and see if it's stable - you'll need to upgrade to it sooner or later anyway. On rare occasions, a DX installation can go wrong or the files can be corrupted. Worse comes to worse, you can try to use the DX Uninstaller which should remove any version of DX up to 6. Then you'll need to install the version you want afterwards. Read the instructions carefully!
