Derangement: I love GOG, but this release just sucks. Just a reminder for whoever thinks about buying this game. I bought it and at the time it was said that the soundtrack was implemented in the game which is awesome. But then, when I bothered to play the game today, with these damn legal problems already set in, I just failed to make it work.

The closest I was at working it all out was with the software mode, but it didn't look that good, it was pretty dark and kinda lagging (yes, I know about the cycles, but it's still kinda sucky). Which is a shame, because the soundtrack seemed to be working without having to do anything.

I lost my whole evening trying to sort that shit out. With all these legal troubles, the game would've been better off taken down, in my opinion. I buy the game and expect everything to be fine. At its current state, you might as well can pirate it. Why bother buying it when you still have to tweak stuff and research for hours how to fix the damn soundtrack and you're still not guaranteed to succeed.

I hope the legal problems are settled in the future. I have Quake 2 in my library as well, but after my bad experience this evening I don't feel like bothering with it, expecting the same crap.

I disagree on taking the release down. The original software release in intact with music. The minigl version was a later mod for the game, not the original released version.

Rich9837: Best way to play Quake: Buy the GOG version AND a cheap Quake 1 disc. Install the GOG version and just use the game disc as the soundtrack (the game will automatically recognize the disc and play the music from it).
