  9. Run GLQuake on standard OpenGL systems

    master

    To run GLQuake on a standard OpenGL system, place glquake.exe in your quake directory and execute it from that location.

    Important Notes:

    • Do not install opengl32.dll unless you are using 3dfx hardware.
    • Windows 95: Ensure your desktop is set to 32k or 64k colors before running.
    • Windows NT: Should switch color modes automatically.
    • Hardware Requirements: The system must support OpenGL texture objects extensions. Software emulation will result in extremely low performance (under 1 FPS).

  11. Launch Quake on DOS and Windows 95

    master

    Depending on your operating system, use the following methods to launch the game:

    DOS

    Navigate to the Quake directory in the DOS prompt and type:

    QUAKE

    Windows 95

    • Single Player: Double-click QUAKE.EXE from Windows Explorer.
    • Multi-Player (TCP/IP): Double-click Q95.BAT.
      • Note: In version 0.91, there is a bug where Q95.BAT may exit on the first run. If this happens, simply double-click the file again.
