Introduction

Quake has always been highly customizable. With more than 10 years of active development, modern Quakeworld clients and servers has alot of configurable features.

Modern QuakeWorld client alternatives to the nQuake's default ezQuake, actively developed:

Fodquake - minimalistic
FTE Quake - technologically advanced
Darkplaces - more eyecandy

You can download and extract the files on your nQuake folder.

Running Quake on a "gaming" monitor is recommended. At least 120hz LCD screen is much smoother to play on than on a standard 60 hz LCD screen. An old CRT monitor that supports high display frequency is a very good option aswell.

If you just installed the nQuake package, it has automatically created a config, pre-configured with the most popular settings.
