Hi Simon,

Quake 3 has being around for more then ten years. I bought an off the

What is the recommend install process these days?

These days the official id Quake 3 release (1.32) runs rather poorly on Linux. In particular, audio does not work properly on modern distros.

I would recommend that you use ioquake3 [0] instead. It is based on the Quake 3 1.32 source code, but contains countless improvements. It still requires the original Q3 data files, so make sure you copy them over.

Cheers,
Jeremy.
