How to install the full game:
Follow the steps above first. Then continue here:
- Buy the game on Steam or elsewhere.
(The new rerelease includes all files needed.) - On your Pc go to your Steam quake installation -> /quake/id1
- Copy the two PAK files to quakequest/id1 on your Quest. Allow to overwrite when asked (Note: Do not copy the config.cfg!)
- Done, ready to play. You now have access to all 4 Episodes.
Note for Epic Store: The epic store version comes with one big pak0.pak file (172mb). That file will also work fine.
