Frequently Answered Questions

When will Quake2World be released?

When it is ready. Currently, the project's release is gated by artwork. If you are an artist, or know one, and would like to help us, please get in touch.

Where are the in-game menus?

Like QuakeWorld, Quake2World does not have in-game menus. See Client Configuration for a list of console variables and commands.

How do I start a game?

To start a local game, type map fractures at the console. In order for other players on your LAN to connect to your computer, you must first set sv_maxclients to a value higher than 1 before starting the level.

Why is my framerate very low?

Quake2World will use GLSL effects if your video card claims it can support them, even if it can't run them very well. Try disabling r_lights, r_bumpmap, and finally r_programs in that order until you have a reasonable framerate.
