Paczyk: Hi guys,
Unfortunately due to complicated legal issues we needed to remove the ogg music from the game. Instead we've added disk images into the build so that the DosBox version stays intact (as DosBox can mount CD images by itself). As for the Windows version, if you happen to have the game's CD you can just insert it and play the game with music.
I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but the world of legal agreements written 20 years ago can be ... a complicated one.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the game!
<S>I want request a refund as well.</S> I have several legit copies of quake already including steam purchases on multiple accounts, original CDs, live quake etc... - I just wanted to
support a
new release that had the
music included without having to jump through hoops, mount cd's, rip tracks etc... to help prove there is still an interest in these older titles. However this factor along with no perceivable updates to any other aspects ie. resolution issues & wide screen support still a pain for starters.
<S>I am sad to say from my end this really doesn't appear to be much more than somebodies original quake folder sterilized, zipped and sold for 10 bucks.</S> Great if you have never owned a copy, not so much if you have a dozen or so different versions and releases already.
Edit: I want to recant my request for refund. Also with the few
easy steps to restore playability, instead I would rather like to thank GOG for leaving what they could in tact. -now if we can get an easy 1080p solution that doesn't involve downloading other executables and replacing dll's
