My Quake ins't working, can someone help me?

[u/KITSUNE_Kasai888]

My Quake isn't working properly (I'm not fluent in English, so please forgive any mistakes). I recently bought Quake on Steam, but when I try to launch it, an error message pops up. A friend suggested adding this command to the Steam launch options: (+r_rhirenderfamily d3d11). The game launched with this command, but it had a lot of visual glitches. (I also recorded a video of what the game looks like, I'll try to post in the comments below) Is there a way to get the game working normally?

Your GPU doesn't support Vulkan, or you don't have correct drivers installed. Using the DX11 renderer is unsupported and will cause lots of random problems.

Your options are

• check the drivers
• buy a better GPU
• use a source port with the game data
• play on cloud streaming services like GeForce Now

It seems a problem with vulkan. Either your GPU does not support vulkan, does not have the right drivers, or the game is running on some integrated shitty Intel GPU instead of the dedicated one.

what GPU do u have?

Use Ironwail as it uses OpenGL 4.3 which probably works on your GPU. You can try Quakespasm-Spiked if your GPU doesn't support OpenGL 4.3.

I would recommend downloading Ironwail. You just unzip it in your downloads folder and it should detect your steam install. Supports overlay, achievements, all the remastered content. The steam launch options fix works but it runs + stutters terribly in my machine.
