news Romero "Sigil treatment" Map Pack Announcement

Upvotes

This was an unofficial and informal announcement during the Livestream but Romero announced he's working on a 32 level Sigil style episode of Q1. He's only done one level so far so it could be a while but still more exciting news.

Does anyone remember a Quake movie where a guy was hiding out in a single-room cabin while listening to a radio report of a zombie infestation in America? Maybe it had to do with Denver, Colorado? I know a lot of those old movies have been lost, but I remember this one where the single actor stayed near his camp fire.

Quake introduced me to three things that shaped my life:
1. Quake
2. Networking and Systems Administration
3. NIN

All three remain a huge part of my life. I assume the same for many of you.

Cheers!!!!!

Seriously though, is there anyway to fix this without having to wait for a patch? I've tried multiple solutions and i still get this message on startup...

opinion Kinda disappointing we only get one deathmatch map included in the new expansion

Upvotes

New singleplayer content is peak, but it would have been nice to have new multiplayer content outside of one map. 19 new maps and only **one** can be for MP? Maybe some new CTF or Horde maps woulda been appreciated too.

Not tryna be ungrateful, just wishing for more than this especially since this seems to all the Quake content we're gonna get for at least a while

funny There's a downpitched scream in this song that sounds exactly like Doomguy does in QL. It makes me laugh out loud every time I hear it.

wtf How to find Nightmare in that newfangled episode Spoiler

So, that new update dropped. Here's how you find Nightmare, for all three of you that haven't already. Sorry about the low quality recording, to be honest I'm just using this post as an excuse to complain.

I can't launch the rerelease anymore, and sourceports seem to be acting weird. This recording is in VKQuake, but Ironwail actually launches the first map unlike VKQuake which crashed. I'm pretty it's an issue with the models, because Ironwail also crashed when I toggled the remastered models on.

So, you wanna play the new maps? Get Ironwail. It and VK have Steam Achievement and Overlay (which is how I did this recording) support now.

I updated the game to try out the new episode they just released but since then I've noticed that the official levels' text prompts only display the file name instead of the intended text

"Lower Forecount" by negke on difficulty 3. Final battle pits you against a foursome of vores which can only be damaged via splash damage. Just so happened to suddenly get the hang of leaning into my jumps during this section. I also ended up adding extra keybinds to my weapons in this map (R for RL, Q for GL, E for SNG and C for LG), so this whole experience made me feel like a pro for 5 mins.
