| + | === Quake is too damn dark === | ||
| + | Quake is a dark game. Not being able to see much is part of its atmosphere and you should keep it that way. If you are using one of the [[:quake:recommended_engines]] then you can use the brightness slider in the menu. If it does not have any effect, make sure to run the game with **-bpp 32** in the commandline. Using the idgamma tool is not recommended. | ||

| + | * Fish are counted twice, so the monster number and kill statistic on the intermission screen will be wrong. | ||
| + | * Jumping monsters like fiends and dogs can get stuck on some architecture. | ||
| + | * Jumping monsters can deal a huge amount of damage or even instantly kill you if they land on your head. Keep your distance, Mario! | ||
| + | * You cannot look up or down straight in most source ports. | ||
| + | * Vores can damage themselves with their magic missiles. | ||
| + | * You cannot blow up fallen zombies. | ||
| + | * Grenades will be stuck if you fire them downwards onto a sloped floor. | ||
| + | * Falling down any more than 256 game units always takes 5 health points. | ||
| + | * Shamblers only take half the damage from rockets and grenades. | ||
| + | * It is possible to lose the episode runes upon returning to the start map. | ||
| + | * If you ride an elevator and a monster or another player jumps on your head, you will be squished quickly. | ||
| + | * In cooperative mode, weapon pickups do not trigger their targets, which sometimes breaks progression in custom maps. | ||
| + | * Sometimes maps, mods, or misc files do not have all lowercase filenames which keeps them from loading on case-sensitive operating systems. | ||
