Raptr and Quake1 support...

[Mindf!3ldzX]

Last night I setup my Raptr channel and tentatively titled it Gaming^9000 and attached the Quake1 logo to it as the channel avatar.

In less than 24hours, my channel received 200+ views and it has zero content. That enticed me to contact the Raptr team to possibly get the Raptr updated to be capable of being setup to use all the modern engines/clients, including Quakeworld clients.

Hopefully they will hit me back with a positive response. I am forever looking for an avenue of injecting interest in our beloved game,whether you're a QW or NQ gamer, we all love Quake.

oh?

I'm unfamiliar with the raptr thing, is it basically twitch but using their client?

[Mindf!3ldzX]

yes,and no. It was founded by Dennis "Thresh" Fong , and overall it's an AMD gamer's best friend (that is my description lol)

Pretty much, if you run an AMD gaming rig, you've got zero reason to not have this application. It's bitchin to say the least,and I approve of it heavily. At first I was like oh hell naw, you're not gonna dictate what graphical settings / other stuffs that my games do or don't use, but after getting cozy with it, it's 2legit2quit.

If Raptr doesn't get back to me, I'll attempt contacting Mr.Thresh directly. Something tells me he wouldn't mind showing some love for the game that propelled him into the lime light back when he won Carmacks Ferrari 328 GTS Cabriolet during the Red Annihilation Tournament,and thats all I am asking. Some modern support for the game that started it all for him, atlesat imo.

I yeah, I remember raptr because I was building a system for a friend recently and it forced itself into his non gaming machine

I guess it'll be interesting to use if I ever jump to AMD

but I like my intel/nvidia too much to jump

good luck getting the attention of the thresh himself :p

Quake, my secret weapon ;P

I have an AMD A10 laptop. Ill check this out.

[OMacKnight]

apparently the amd a10 is really good, especially for low-mid range gaming and I've even seen it run battlefield 4 at above 60fps at a non 1080 resolution at medium settings

[Mindf!3ldzX]

And the A10 supports Mantle!

[OMacKnight]

might have to use an amd a10 for my next build then

since without a gpu I can power most games, with a gpu I can enjoy life to the max and play those (nearly 500) games on my steam library

[wicked_lord]

I run GTA 4 high graphics at 40-45fps and medium around 60
