Your Quake II server runs Q2PRO on the original Quake II network protocol. Here is which games can join and how to connect.
| Your game | Can join? |
|---|---|
| Q2PRO | Yes, recommended |
| R1Q2 or the original Quake II 3.20 | Yes |
| Quake II Enhanced (the 2023 remaster) | No, use Q2PRO with the same game files instead |
Tip
Q2PRO is a free, modern Quake II client. Get it from the Q2PRO releases page and copy its files into your Quake II folder, the one that has the baseq2 folder in it. You still need a copy of Quake II for the game files; the Steam and GOG versions include the original game alongside the remaster.
Connecting With The IP Address
- 1Log in to Bropanel and select your Quake II server.
- 2Copy the server IP address and port from the
Overviewpage, for example123.45.67.89:27910. - 3Open Quake II and press the
~key to open the console. - 4Type
connect 123.45.67.89:27910with your own IP and port, then pressEnter.
If your server has a password, type password yourpassword in the console before you connect.
Note
Your server is listed on the Quake II master servers, so it also shows up on server lists like q2servers.com. It can take a few minutes for a new server to appear. Joining by IP always works.
Capture The Flag
To join a server running Capture the Flag, your game needs the ctf folder from the Quake II 3.20 point release. Most Quake II installs already have it.
