Talk:Quake 4

Seems that you can't just set 4K resolution with Q4T - game's ignore the setting and launch in whatever resolution you've had selected in it previously.

A simple workaround is to go into Quake4Tweaker.ini and comment out CustomResolutionWidth line - this does the trick and you get 4K working just fine.

I don't have enough sample h/w to check if this applies to other resolutions too. If anyone is willing to test this fix and it will also help with other monitors / resolutions it should probably be included into "Widescreen resolution" section.

This seems to be just a combination of having fixedTic enabled and running at too high graphic settings. Maybe remove?

I agree, the note should probably be removed. Noticed myself how certain scenes tank GPU, spiking utilization to 99% -- which results in excessive input latency. This is probably what author meant by "slow motion".

This is fixed by lowering anti-aliasing a notch and keeping FPS capped at reasonable limits [can confirm], which is generally common sense.

As Steam version still supplies CD keys and those CD keys can be viewed as long as Steam Play is enabled, I prefer people to get legitimate copies from Steam rather than consulting "near piracy." The mentioned method won't work with online multiplayer anyway.

The point isn't for online multiplayer; the GOG version doesn't have multiplayer. The point is that the Linux version asks for a CD Key, even though they bought a from GOG, and therefore don't have a CD Key.

Also, it is more logical to use a native (official) Linux port, rather than rely on a modified WINE wrapper.

It works for me, why key point says on the contrary? http://steamcommunity.com/id/KainXVIII/screenshots/?appid=2210&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall
