A new version of QuakeSpasm was released two days ago.

Here is the release announcement and changelog:

Version 0.93.1 of QuakeSpasm is released.
Changes since the previous version:

    Fixed a fog regression which was introduced in 0.93.0.
    Fixed a crash (buffer overflow) with invalid vis data.
    Fixed buttons crushing players in 64-bit builds.
    Change controller movement to use cubic easing by default; added
    joy_exponent_move cvar.
    config.cfg is no longer written in case of a Sys_Error().
    Fixed Opus encoded cd tracks not being recognized as ripped tracks.
    Update the third-party libraries. Other fixes/cleanups.

You can download QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 here or here.

Thanks for the heads up. Time to update i guess. Even though i never had issues with 0.93.

Will the extra features/eye candy in Quakespasm-spike ever be added to the regular Quakespasm build? If not in the options menu at least maybe through console? I think a lot of people would appreciate that =)

@Butane I'm not sure that is going to happen. I think there will be an update to QS eventually, that includes separating the game fps from the rendering fps but I haven't heard of them adding the extra graphics capabilities.

Both link to sourceforge and sourceforge is not working. Are there any reliable non sourceforge mirrors?

Re: QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 released

Any tips to improve FPS with quakespasm?
I've gotten a new laptop since a few week and quakespasm runs like garbage on it.

It does have AMD Ryzen 5 GPU with Radeon vega mobile gfx, so it should meet the specs with ease.
It ran pefrectly on the Acer Aspire 5

Thats my current cfg.

You likely have to specifically set the laptop to use the GPU for Quakespasm. Take a look at your control panel. Hopefully this article applies to your setup:

Re: QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 released

I did that already, forced to run it with main GPU

Re: QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 released

take a look at these console commands then:

r_fastsky. default 0. if 1, sky will be rendered as solid color, for added performance

r_sky_quality. default 8.  Higher number divides the sky more, for a smoother effect and slower performance.

Re: QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 released

Did try that but it didn't improve it unfortunately.
Btw im fiddling around with settings and testing in 'func_mapjamx' on 'jamx_naitelveni'.
The fps drops down to 20-30 there. On smaller maps it usually maintains 59-71 fps

Re: QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 released

That map has a lot of polys on screen at the same time. What resolution are you running? I have a laptop with a Radeon GPU and the control panel doesn't even come up. Such a pain. But anyway it's a 4k monitor. I run Quakespasm at 1920x1080 and seems to run fine. Your laptop is much newer and should run Quake with no problems.

Can you see what display adapter is being used from the console startup message? Look for gl_renderer

Re: QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 released

Im using the same resolution and the gl_renderer is 'Radeon RX 560X Series'
The Display says its Full HD ready with a 1080 sticker on it :p it can prolly do 4K

edit: and yes it should run Quake as it runs Doom2016 just fine with low settings

I am at a loss then. Damn PC gaming strikes again.

Re: QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 released

is there a way to get my hands on an older build of quakespasm, say 0.90.0 ?

Yes right here: https://github.com/ericwa/Quakespasm/releases It's only the source code though.

Re: QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 released

Hmm, well thats to bad. Thought maybe an older build might solve the issue.
Thanks for your help anyways!

Re: QuakeSpasm 0.93.1 released

Maybe give vkQuake a shot: https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake/releases (a Vulkan port of Quakespasm)
and MarkV: http://quakeone.com/markv/ (uses DirectX)

I suspect jamx_naitelveni will be cpu bound, it's got around 10K wpoly visible at the start location.
