I will refrain from commenting on where your friend gets his games from ( After all he might have thought it was legit.).
For now, try copying the game to the hard drive and launching it from there.
If that won't do it then you're out of luck.

LOL. I saw that and didn't touch this thread with a ten foot pole!

What!

How dare you accouse me of piracy here.

He gave me the game with original case & Cd because he had a new computer and now he plays Counter strike and stuff so he doesnt play Quake 2 any more.

Theres nothing illegal here its all legit.

Pam,I mean no dissrespect but please dont accouse people before you know the facts.

edit : Quake2 evolved is a modded version Quake 2 and though it has a community it is under a legal cloud at present even though the Quake2 code was released under an open source license a few years back.
It is not abandonware.
It seems likely that your friend bought it in good faith and given the date it was widely available at that time and was later pulled.

Ooh i see,Im unsure where he got it from.

He said i could have it,So i did.

[pam123]

Just so long as you don't try to sell the game it's okay to keep, it was selling the mod that brought the lawyers into the whole thing.

[AMD]

Oooh lol,

No wonder he gave it me

Thanks anyway

[pam123]

See if you can't find a copy of Quake2.
The mod came in two versions one was stand alone, in effect a new game, but the other required that you have Quake2 installed.

edit : to make that more accurate the mod was supposed to be in two versions but I'm not sure that both were actually out.

[AMD]

Oh,

I think the version he gave me must be the one Stand alone one becuase he had it instaled on his system and he run it from the disk he gave me.
