How To Install Berserker Mod Quake 2

Play Quake II with Berserker@Quake2

Quake 2 was created for Windows 95/98 systems. Installation onto a 64 bits version of Windows 10, 8 and Windows 7 seems to be possible and the game also starts properly. However, getting the game going in full screen is a challenge. Resolutions higher than 1600x1200 are not available. And you can only look around with your mouse by pressing a key. All in all pretty 90s!

Inside your Quake 2 folder in the 'baseq2' folder, edit the file kmq2config.cfg and find the following lines: set rcustomheight 'xxxx' set rcustomwidth 'xxxx' Change these two lines (the xxxx) to define the resolution you wish to run at. For example, if you want to use 1920x1080, set rcustomheight to '1080' and rcustomwidth to '1920'. Install Quake 2 as normal, either GOG/Steam/CD Download the 2 files, the Final one and the updated one. Extract the Final file to the Quake 2 folder, then do the same for the update zip. Create and open autoexec.cfg. Add clmaxfps X where X is the desired FPS cap. Add rmaxfps X instead if you're using KMQuake II. Add vidmaxfps X instead if you're using Yamagi Quake II. Console command citation needed Open console with. Type clmaxfps X where X is the desired FPS cap. Installation: Install quake2 from Steam, GOG or from original CD-ROM.

So you can head over to GOG.com and download the complete Quake II: Quad Damage game. It includes Quake II, The Reckoning and Ground Zero mission packs, AND the Extremities Netpack. Awesome.

Mod

But, as with almost all games on this website, there's also a source port available for Quake 2. And it's a good one. Only downside is that it's hosted on a Russian website. So you have to look carefully between all the Russian characters. Visit the project website at http://berserker.quakegate.ru if you like. Thankfully, you can also download full packages from moddb.com.

So, what do you need to get this thing going?

Stuff you need

Screen brightness

The Berserker@Quake2 application tends to increase the brightness of the screen. When the application is closed, these settings stay enabled. After a system restart with Windows 7, default brightness will be restored. In Windows 8, the brightness remains increased even after a restart until you set them to default with your video driver software. In Windows 10, brightness goes back to normal after the application closes.

Happy BirthDay, Quake!
