Installation:
To play LibreQuake, you will need to download an engine to run the game. For LibreQuake, we have two different engines we recommend:
Ironwail
Ironwail is our go-to option if you only plan on playing Singleplayer. It is a very stable engine that is popular in the community.
FTEQW
FTEQW is the engine you need if you plan on playing both Deathmatch and Singleplayer. It is a bit less stable than Ironwail, but much more fully-featured with tons of customization options.
Other engine options:
Once you have installed the engine, pick one of the downloads below and paste the id1 (or lq1) folder from the download in the same directory you put the engine executable. This is the executable you will run to start LibreQuake.
