Hello Everyone,
Q: How do I install and play the Quake II RTX? - Install 3 levels bundled with Quake 2 RTX. - Incorporate all levels and multiplayer if you own the game. Q: I played the 3 level demo and just bought the full game. How do I play the full game with RTX ON? A:To enable RTX on for the full game, you will need to copy the data files from the full game to Quake II RTX. You can easily do that by running the installation process again. At the Choose Components prompt screen, select Quake II Full Game option during the re-installation process. The installer will then attempt to locate the files of the original Quake II game on your hard drive, or ask you to select the folder where the game is installed. If you prefer to copy the files manually, locate the three pakN.pak files and the players folder in the baseq2 folder of your copy of Quake II and copy them into the baseq2 folder in Quake II RTX. Q: How do I turn on RTX if I own the original Quake II game? A: Install and run the installer for Quake II RTX. During the installation process, choose the "Quake II Full Game" option and point the installer to your copy of the game. Alternatively, if you have installed Quake II RTX already as a Shareware Demo, copy the .pak files and the players folder from baseq2 in your copy into baseq2 in the Quake II RTX folder. Instructions on connecting to private Quake II server Q: How do I join password protected Servers NOT on Q2Servers.com? A: Please follow the steps below. 1. Launch Quake II RTX from the Desktop Shortcut. 2. Press `~` to pull down the console. 3. Type in /password %PASSWORD% 4. Type in /connect %IP ADDRESS:PORT% 5. The console will now show connectivity progress and user will connect to server shortly after Multiplayer disclaimer: - Due to the fact we have limited resources to support multiplayer server, we may not be able to address all issues. - Game play experience may vary on multiplayer. - Rockets and other items may disappear in certain pools of water, which were opaque in the original Quake II; - Flare gun will not be available; - Gameplay mods or custom maps may be incompatible with Q2RTX. FAQs Q: What is NVIDIA RTX used for in Quake II RTX? A: This is a remaster of the classic game. Quake II RTX is fully ray traced (using path tracing), delivering highly realistic lighting, shadows, reflections, global illumination and more. Q: What are the recommended specs and settings? A: These are recommended specs to achieve 60 fps smooth gameplay at 1080P: RTX 2060, all settings on, Caustics off, Global Illumination low RTX 2070, all settings on, Global Illumination medium RTX 2080, all settings on, Global Illumination high RTX 2080Ti, all settings on Global Illumination high Q: What does path-traced mean? A: Path tracing is the most pure form of ray tracing, where light rays (paths) are traced through the scene in a way that unifies all lighting effects into a single algorithm. Games dramatically increase visual realism by using ray tracing. Moving to full path tracing takes things a step farther---instead of separate algorithms for shadows, reflections, ambient occlusion, and diffuse global illumination, all lighting is computed in a unified way. This elegant form of rendering is used in CG films, but has previously been too expensive for games. Quake II RTX shows all these ray traced effects are possible at once, in real-time, on GeForce RTX GPUs. Q: Whats included in Github? A: This includes the source code for Quake II RTX. No media files are included. Q: What expansion packs work with this mod? A: Community authored maps may work (Your mileage may vary). The official expansion packs (Q2: Ground Zero and Q2: The Reckoning) are not currently supported at this time.
