There's lots of sourceports of Quake, even Vulkan ones, that should run fine without any tweaking.Ĭounter question, if Q2RTX makes no sense without RTX then why does this title have an OpenGL version included at all? Originally posted by Majora:What, exactly, is the point of Quake II RTX without RT? maybe then i'll have the nerves to make a controller profile myself. Hope this helps to save you some time and nerves, my nerves are fried for the next 2 weeks i'm not touching this. Took me like 2 weeks to figure this all out.or 2 afternoons of bashing my head against the wall, however you want to count it.

and if you want i guess you can uninstall the original Quake II now to save some Bytes.ħ: All that is left to do now is for somebody to make a decent Control Scheme for the Steam Deck, because the default is just the WASD preset and the 3 community profiles are all for the old Steam Controller, they do work with the Deck, but only so-so. now you go back to gaming mode and start the game, hopefully gameplay starts in OpenGL with 60FPS. Go to the baseq2 folder again, open q2config.cfg with a text editor scroll all the way down, 4th line from the bottom needs to say

If that happens from the start, it didn't for me but i already had a cloud save from my PC install where i had it set to OpenGL, so i'm not sure about the default behavior here.

and if they are not there then copy it from your Windows install on your PC (where all of this just works of course).ĭON'T even try to set it to RTX or you can easily get stuck in an endless loop of the game crashing and telling you 'No RTX GPU found' with no simple menu option to change it back, it just kicks you out. that is weird because with the Linux version it was the other way around and only pak0 was present.Įither copy the missing files from the Quake2/baseq2 folder. for me pak0.pak was missing after the setup. Make sure the pak0.pak (179MB), pak1.pak (12MB) and pak2.pak (44KB) are all in there.

In Steam Desktop mode click on Browse local files for both Q2 and Q2RTX. In Steam (Desktop Mode) you click Play on Q2RTX and we go through the Setup process, select to locate the Retail Quake II folder, only in Desktop mode SteamOS fills the path in on its own, in gaming mode the path would be empty and you'd get stuck searching through a very clunky folder menu with touchscreen only that won't even let you scroll.ĭuring the install, if you select show details you may have noticed that it said copy failed in the log. If you have a mouse, docked, bluetooth, KVM, whatever, this would be the time to connect it. (Q2RTX can be installed on SD card, no problem)ģ: with both downloaded correctly, we now switch to Desktop Mode for the Setup process. Install the original Quake II on the internal SSD, the installer did not see the SD card.

i wasted too much time on this, couldn't get it to run and didn't even notice it was a Linux port until i saw it labeled as Native on ProtonDB), anyway, we want the Windows version,įorce Proton (i'm using 7.04 but use any version you want, they all worked fine in my testing).Ģ: (this step needs verification, not 100% sure if true) Q2RTX has a Native Linux version which Steam OS will install by default (it almost looked like it was going to work, always felt like just a few more tweaks.
