How to Play QuakeWorld- nQuake is a one-click package that bundles the ezQuake client.
- Download, unzip, run. (If you own Quake, drop your
pakfiles in for the full maps.)
Joining a server Click connect and it opens the server in ezQuake via a qw:// link (nQuake registers that handler). No handler? Use the console: /connect ip:port.
