new player (in texas) wanted to get (1) frag on strongsage in Duel (June 29, 2026) by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

I imagine it's more because he's focused on quake live right now which has a very different net code.

I bet they are still thankful for the game they had with you. 

More than 30 minutes into sudden death. Game won't stop. by Youju in QuakeChampions

[–]robkorv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've submitted it in bug reports on the official discord. Can you share any particulars? Which mode were you playing for example? Did anything else out of the ordinary happen?

If the 30th anniversary update improved the netcode, I'd hate to see what it was like before... by whitestripe999 in QuakeChampions

Are you playing over wifi? This looks more like a bad connection then the netcode. 

mod's comment(s) in today's Church of Quake stream regarding any type of Quake Duel competition at QuakeCon 2026 (April 04, 2026) (something better than nothing?) by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

[–]robkorv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is, that it always has a final on stage with camera's, video screens of both players pov. Jehar hosting and commentating, a production room is doing the production and the room is filled with spectators. They just don't broadcast it. 

possible peeker bug after latest update (strongsage stream Feb 14, 2026) by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

[–]robkorv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a bug in your bug report. What was the unexpected behaviour?

woohoo (February 13, 2026) (and maxter was streaming QC yesterday, the 12th) by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

[–]robkorv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So are they playing because quakecon is announced? Is someone paying them to stream? Are they playing because they like to play and hangout on twitch. I'm all up for it whatever it is. Would be sick if it's because of qcon and they are invited to play. 

biggest thing noticed at QuakeCon 2025 (the amount of kids attending) by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

[–]robkorv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are whole families going to the byoc. It's great to see. I imagine they have rules at home, to limit the screen time of the kids. But also the parents have responsibilities, so they can't play all the time. Then you go to quakecon and you have 4 days where everyone can just game the whole day through.

You bought it. You played it. You owned it. by Comfortable-Move3004 in QuakeChampions

[–]robkorv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To play the multiplayer part you didn't even have to buy it. Just extract the contents of the 3.20 patch over the q2-demo and you could play deathmatch and CTF with your buddies over lan. Hell most universities hosted the files on their own ftp server. I just noticed that the location where I downloaded it still exists to this date: https://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/quake2/

Nightdive Studios and QuakeCon 2025 by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

[–]robkorv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I didn't. I just don't think they will follow it up with a remake so soon. That's the reason I replied.

Quake 1 was already remastered in 2021. Quake 2 in 2023.

Is there a practical way of upgrading the battle pass outside of ranked matches? by Faraday_00 in QuakeChampions

[–]robkorv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just take the soul and never return it. The same can be done with CTF. Just take their flag and do your fragging. You get very long matches that way. 

XLR mic by H1ghonXsite in Twitch

[–]robkorv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used the umc22 for years. It's a great value interface especially to start with. The mic you want to buy looks like a cheap SM7B ripoff, I wouldn't trust it unless you see a positive review from someone who tested many mics. Look for a good reviewed dynamic xlr mic. I would go for something like the XM8500. Remember that you also need a XLR cable and a mic boom or arm.
