Learn how to join a game in Quake Champions using command line parameters and console commands like CONNECT and SLIST.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Run Q95.BAT with the command line parameters -NOIPX -WINMEM 8 -WINPACK 12. For example, navigate to your Quake Champions directory (default is C:\quake_sw) in a DOS box and type: Q95.BAT -NOIPX -WINMEM 8 -WINPACK 12. This starts Quake Champions and configures its TCP/IP settings.
  2. 2
    Press the [~] key to open the console. Type CONNECT to have Quake Champions search for active games. For a list of available games, type SLIST and select the game you wish to join by pressing Enter.
  3. 3
    If successful, you will see 'TRYING...' on the console, followed by 'STILL TRYING...' approximately two to three more times.
  4. 4
    You should now be connected to the game.
Tips
  • Closing all other applications before launching Quake Champions can improve performance and stability.
  • Use the SLIST command in the console to see all available games before attempting to connect.
