Quake / Why Q2Pro over R1Q2
« on: June 24, 2016, 08:59:58 AM »
First of all greeting and humble bows to everyone around here. I have been a long time lurker and admirer of the great job the Q2 community is doing here.
So here is a question, why Q2Pro is the go to client now instead of R1Q2? I still remember the days of NoCheat and the time some people used EGL, but after that R1Q2 became the recommended client and I loved it all the way. Now coming back to Quake, I see Q2Pro is the new standard, I tried it ages ago and did not like it. Now it feels a bit better, but still nothing like R1Q2. I am old school, I like my Quake the way it was just in 1998 and with R1Q2 I sort of get that vibe (the packs, gl_modulate 5 and brightskins never really appealed to me). Q2Pro seemed fine in windowed mode at work yesterday, but when I launched it at home today, it was just horrible. It's like the mouse has some sort of lat ot the screen just wobbles too much. I am not really sure what it is, but the gameplay feels different, inferior to R1Q2 and I just can't stand it.
So, do I need to switch to Q2Pro and maybe change something in the config, or am I fine being the R1Q2 hipster online?
