- Quake II Release Notes
-
- This file contains notes on last minute information pertinent to Quake II.
-
- Quake II Version 3.12 - January 26, 1998
-
-
- Note on the 'Crosshair':
- - The crosshair is an approximation and thus may not always be accurate.
- However, it is consistent, so you should be able, with time, to learn to
- use this tool, just as you would learn to use any other tool.
-
- Using 'Lookspring' and Keyboard Looking:
- - If you use keys to '+lookup' and/or '+lookdown', lookspring does not
- work with these functions. If you want to center your view, use the
- '+centerview' command. Lookspring does work when Mouselooking.
-
- CD Audio:
- - You cannot enable CD Music once the game has been started with CD Music
- disabled. The player must enable CD music, then restart the game.
-
- Video Issues:
- - If you are experiencing a video problem, you will most likely be able to
- solve the problem by downloading the newest drivers from your card or chip
- manufacturers' website. If this does not work, you should attempt using
- the video drivers that are installed with DirectX 5 included on the CD.
- Please see the DirectX section of this document for frequently asked
- questions and installation instructions.
-
- - Rendition GL Support: For Rendition support you should select "Default
- OpenGL" in the Video menu.
-
- - Riva128: Riva support is now available using their Win95 OpenGL
- drivers available directly from http://www.nvidia.com
-
- - VooDoo Rush: Currently the Voodoo Rush chipset only supports OpenGL in
- Windows 95. Check your card/chipset manufacturer's website for updated
- drivers.
-
- - Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM: If you are currently experiencing problems
- with the Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM video card, you should attempt using the
- video drivers that are installed with DirectX 5 that is included on the CD.
- We have found that this will solve your video problems. Please see the
- DirectX section of this document for frequently asked questions and
- installation instructions.
-
- Sound Issues:
- - MWave: We have found that if you are using an MWave sound card, and are
- using the low quality game sounds in deathmatch, the right and left audio
- channels are reversed. This problem is solved by using the high quality
- game sounds.
-
- - Ensoniq: If you are running an Ensoniq Sound Scape or AudioPCI card,
- pull down the console by pressing the tilde key ( ~ ) or choose the "Go To
- Console" selection from the "Options" menu, and type 's_primary 0' and
- press ENTER. This setting will be saved when you properly exit the game.
-
- - Joysticks: To enable a joystick you must type in_joystick 1 from the
- console. To access the console, either press the tilde ( ~ ) key or choose
- the "Go To Console" selection from the "Options" menu.
