It has come to my attention that for reasons as of yet unknown to me, finding a more up to date release of Q2PRO has become difficult since the loss of the original sites hosting it, so I have taken it upon myself to host the latest version I got from July last year, this is a very solid and recent release and what is recommended for playing on Whale, download from my Mediafire link below!

Thanks to RailWolf for sharing, here's up to date builds of Q2PRO below! I leave the old mediafire link above nonetheless for now ^.

I have also found a flatpack of Q2PRO hosted for playing on Linux as well which has been great for me as I'm a recent adopter of playing and doing project work on Linux and can vouch it plays well on Whale! Is slightly older than the above link but just as good. If you really want to however, you can potentially play a Windows Q2PRO client on Linux (I recommend Linux Mint for playing Quake 2 on older computers) using Proton via Steam (Have not tested) or WINE.

Get Q2PRO for Linux here

And lastly there's the Q2PRO client for use with the Remaster of Quake 2, ensure this is installed correctly with your remaster install. However I did encounter some bugs last I tested on Whale with display elements not working as of yet or other bugs, try this purely as an experiment.

And lastly as a personal update, quality of life work on Whale is still imminent despite tech losses and setbacks I've had delaying my efforts. I'm adjusting to a new OS and getting my new tools and workflow figured out and is looking good so far, look forward to seeing you all more regularly again!  :rockon: :rocketright: :rocketleft:

Can we ban these bots in DM and other servers that just spam bad jokes non-stop? I tried to join earlier and it took me 15 minutes to get in because there were about 10 of them connected

I've been sick with Q2 since 2007. It's incurable.
Dying and reviving is common. It's a shame the QT was good.
