Quake 1: Ray Traced 1.0.2 - AMD

Install

1. Buy and install Quake in Steam
2. Unzip quake-rt.zip to an empty folder and run vkQuake.exe
3. Press F to switch renderers on the fly

Manual installation

vkQuake.exe tries to find Quake's Steam folder, but if that fails, you can try to copy files manually.

Make sure that the old id1/config.cfg is deleted to avoid inconsistent parameters!

Original Release (1996):

1. Create id1 folder next to vkQuake.exe
2. Copy files from the Quake folder to the folder you created:
   • id1/PAK0.PAK
   • id1/PAK1.PAK
   • id1/music folder

Rerelease (2021):

1. Create id1 folder next to vkQuake.exe
2. Copy files from the Quake Rerelease folder to the folder you created:
   • rerelease/id1/pak0.pak
   • rerelease/id1/music folder
3. Copy rerelease/QuakeEX.kpf next to vkQuake.exe

Installing DLSS 2.0

1. Download nvngx_dlss.dll, and place it next to vkQuake.exe
2. Download RayTracedGL1-DLSS.zip, and replace with it the original RayTracedGL1.dll, located in the same folder as vkQuake.exe
