Quake II and Window 11

Hello, folks.

I want to install Quake II on Windows 11 using the old CD that I bought 25 years ago. As soon as I click the .exe file, the splash screen shows and when I click “Install” the process crash.

I can download the game to Steam to $10, but I am not sure if still is going to work on Win 11.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi
No problem on Steam… it will work fine!

Best use a modern client: https://www.yamagi.org/quake2/ → “Precompiled Windows binaries”

I don’t remember the CD, is there a baseq2 directory on it? If so, just copy the contents of that into the baseq2 directory of the extracted Yamagi directory.
