Essential improvements
Patches
- Patch 1.4.2 is required for widescreen support. GOG.com and Steam versions are already patched.
Linux client
A free client provided by id that allows Quake 4 to be played natively on Linux machines. It requires either a full retail copy or the demo to use it.
The download can be found on id's FTP server. Further details can be found on the official FAQ page.
Modifications
Sikkmod
- Sikkmod is a mod that was ported from Doom 3, which adds such effects as bloom, color grading, HDR and FXAA, and is easily configurable via the in-game menu.
- The game's multi-core rendering may cause problems with this mod, disable that setting if there are graphical glitches.
False Dawn
- False Dawn is a non-linear, multiple-goal mission with up-to-date graphics (powered by Sikkmod), overhauled health and damage systems and even a story that actually has some meat on the bone.
