help Strange kill count on Bloody nightmare on map Requiem (with rune)

Upvotes

My friend is playing dawn of the machine and she encountered a strange bug(?): her killccount has one additional kill. Restarting the map using console makes it disappear apparently. We couldn't find any information about this one and can't find where it is on the map. Does anyone know anything about it?

media QuakeCon 2026 Highlights

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Having been an id Software fan since 1993, QuakeCon is always a big deal when it comes around, especially as I reside in id's backyard of North Texas, often driving by the old black cube that once held their offices. While not necessarily a devoted attendee, I've attended several QC events in the past and this was by easily the most memorable and enjoyable. With 30 years of Quake now behind us, there was no way I was missing out.

I captured a little bit of everything, including a few beauty shots of the Gaylord Texan Resort where it was held, and more than once its magnificent architecture (along with many moments within the convention) brought to mind the spaces of Quake and Doom, which is reflected in the video. Really, it's an experimental celebration of all things id, and hopefully offers the community a unique perspective of the 30th QuakeCon.

The music, by the way, was an original score composed by myself, and I plan to release it under the name Advancer, an industrial project that is currently in the works.

Fun fact - An X-Men game with the Quake engine was made in 1997:

But if by combining the X-Men and Quake together, what would the outcome be?

community Need help for discharge trophy because it’s broken on ps5.

Upvotes

EDIT : No need for help , i manage to got the trophy by hosting the game in splitscreen from my alt account and being zapped by my alt account, my main account got the trophy. The trophy is working backward.

The old workaround to use bots in solo didn’t work anymore. I think the expansion Dawn Of The Machine broke this trophy because of the addition of the new Deathmatch map. The devs need to check about this.

help ironwail use original quake or remaster?

Upvotes

i recently got into quake and this has me a little confused, as far as i can tell i can specify ironwail to either use the original quake directory in my steam game folder or the rerelease one as the basedir, but what really changes? can i play the expansions and new content using the rerelease on ironwail and can i use it to play arcane dimensions?

media I found a potentially useful glitch in Dawn of the Machine. The buttons that are supposed to be hit with your axe don't check if you damage them with the axe, only if you're holding the axe while damaging them

Haven't played a game as fun as this since perhaps doom eternal... Had some fun with doom 3 too which was one of my favourite games but this game might be replacing it now.

maps Update on the UK Castle Ruins Map! My wife surprised me with a trip into the gatehouse

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hey everyone!

You might remember me as the guy who posted that UK Castle Ruins Map back in June (the one that took me 5 years to build).

Today my wife completely surprised me with a visit inside the gatehouse, which is usually closed off to the public. We got to go upstairs for the first time! English Heritage is currently letting a small handful of people up to the 2nd level, with plans to expand and hopefully open access all the way to the roof next year.

Alas, no shrine to the almighty Dopefish upstairs like on my map it’s actually a little plain inside but still incredible to see in person. I even managed to hand out a few of "business cards" to the volunteers on site with the link to the Quake version

If you haven't checked out the castle (or the map) yet, definitely do.

media Quake2RTX with Remaster

Post image
Upvotes

You can download it here https://github.com/mstewart248/Q2RTX-MOD. Has DLSS ray reconstruction and frame generation. Works with re-release md5 models and all maps, new monsters and weapons should be working. To get it working with re-release assets you just need to copy the rerelease data from the steam install into a directory in the Quake2RTX folder called rerelease. I re-baked the Quake2RTX PBR model materials to work with the new md5 models. I have video of the game play here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEqXhWsq6oQ&t=263s. Some of the new materials still need work and I am trying to find all the bugs in the new remaster gameplay code.

mods Strogg invasion of Earth

Upvotes

Are there any single player campaigns set during the Strogg invasion of Earth, prequels to Q2? I can't understand why there wasn't a single player equivalent to Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and RTCW. Or maybe I'm wrong? Maybe there is a mod, a campaign or mapping jam that does just that? I loved seeing Ruined Earth (and Moon) in Call of the Machine and I want to explore more of this epoch.
