That said, because the installation does NOT work flawlessly (as described in Robert's instructions), I do not think Quake 4 deserves a Gold Metal. Quake 4 Zero MP is an multiplayer mod, heavily inspired by game-play of Quake 2 MP. So glad that I can finally play this game!
QUAKE 4 MULTIPLAYER INSTALL
I don't know why, but this allowed the installation process to get past the point where it failed before and install as described in Robert's post. I got around this issue by copying CD1 to a folder on my hard drive, then adding the contents of /Setup/Data/q4base/ from discs 2-4 to the same location in the CD1 folder. 4 does separate itself significantly from Doom 3 however is with its multiplayer mode.
QUAKE 4 MULTIPLAYER PC
My copy of Quake 4 is on four CDs and the installer would always error out on CD1. Quake 4 PC Review - from TweakTowns online gaming review. I'm only about 10 minutes into the game, but no issues with single player mode so far. Thanks to Robert's instructions, Quake 4 works for me, too. Being an old-ass Q2/Q3 veteran who lost touch with the series around early 2005, Ive been wondering why Q4 multiplayer wasnt the preferred platform for Quake Live or why its essentially dead today. I copied over my old gamesaves to carry on where I last left of back in 2008, and am happily fragging the strogg 😊 I haven't tried Quake 4 Multiplayer, but the Quake 4 Single player seems to work fine.
QUAKE 4 MULTIPLAYER PATCH
This is normal as like with DOOM3 it needs the patch so you don't run it from the DVD. Now the short cuts are created, but it still doesn't work.It will complain the cdkey.dll file is missing. But the game is much more than the sounds of weapons and. The weapons sound appropriately tough, which is always key for a shooter. Re-run the installation in the Quake4 bottle. Quake 4 has great sound that helps highlight the experience.Once installed, it tries to launch Quake4 and fails.The installer asks you to specify your serial, and if you want to install Punkbuster. In the Quake4 bottle, install Quake4 as "Other Application" by specifying the Setup.exe file.


It's like DOOM3 really, it will fail unless you patch so you don't have to use the DVD. It seems to work fine for me on my 13" MacBook Air.
