Quake / Re: Quake 2 remastered discussion - news and rumors
« on: September 09, 2023, 12:08:46 PM »I'm pretty sure I never actually purchased Quake 2 (I've been playing, off and on, since 1999). I decided to purchase Q2 on Steam to right that wrong a bit and to try out the remaster. I like that the railgun (and all hitscan weapons, I presume?) has updated code where you don't need to lead the shot based on ping. It's weird getting used to that though after you've been playing by leading a bit for so long. It was running really herky jerky for me though - not like really low fps, but just didn't look smooth. I presume it's some setting that I don't know how to fiddle with yet. I'm glad it's getting some attention again.
First thing I want to say is welcome back Punk. Good to see you again. I happen to really like the Q2 remaster. I believe the net code is actually much better. For me it is still playable up to 200 ping. At 130 ping in old Q2, it was pretty unplayable for me. I never knew you had to lead your shot for the rail in the old Q2. I guess that is why I can't rail anyone. I did notice railing seemed easier in the remaster though. I can't wait until they have dedicated servers. The P2P stuff leads to so many disconnects. Microsoft Playfab has the connection issues according to "Paril".
