  • Download the needed Patches. It is required to use Multiplayer over the Internet (Keep checking back for the latest updates). Put the patches in your Quake II folder and install them. WARNING!!: Once you install this patch, all of you previously saved games won't work.

  • Find a Server to play over. A Server is the computer that hosts your game. It keeps track of all of the players positions and stats and sends it back to you. You conect to a Server through an IP address, which is the location of that Server on the World Wide Web. See the Servers page for a list of good servers. You should write down a few of them in case some of them are down.

  • You will need to go to the Address Book. Once you are in the Address Book, enter the IP address of the Servers you will be playing over in the boxes. After you enter the IP addresses, hit ESC to bring you back to the join server menu.

  • Go to Refresh Server List to display the names of the Servers you entered and how many players are currently on that Server and what its maximum capacity is. If you get a message next to it that says Wrong Version, then you do not have the Quake II patch correctly installed.

  • Make sure the Quake II CD is in your CD-ROM drive, then go to the Server you would like to play over and hit "Enter".

  • Happy Quaking!!
