openQ4, an open-source project modernizing Quake 4, has been released in version v0.14.1.

It is a community-developed engine with updates for Quake 4 that runs alongside the original game files. Version 0.14.1 replaces the withdrawn version 0.14.0.

Key changes:

• The unreleased expansion The Awakening is playable from single player, with its own saves
• New shadow mapping presets (Quality and Ultra), rebuilt interface with Remastered HUD
• Vulkan is the default on Windows (still experimental on Linux and macOS)
• Multiplayer: bots that take team orders, quick chat, push-to-talk voice chat and better demos
• Experimental: Android APK, VR via OpenXR, Linux ARM64 preview and a level editor
• Dialogue subtitles, new performance tiers (Low, Enhanced, Maximum), faster loading

Important: install the game in a fresh folder (remove old baseoq4 folders). An original copy of Quake 4 is still required. Saves use a new format and are not compatible with older builds. Multiplayer requires clients and servers on 0.14.1.
