Info

Welcome to the Arena, where high-ranking warriors are transformed into spineless mush. Abandoning every ounce of common sense and any trace of doubt, you lunge onto a stage of harrowing landscapes and veiled abysses. Your new environment rejects you with lava pits and atmospheric hazards as legions of foes surround you, testing the gut reaction that brought you here in the first place. Your new mantra: Fight or be finished.

How-to-play On-line

If you want to use the original disc media, make sure to grab the two patches below! You need to install Point Release 1.32 first, then install 1.32c over it. It is recommended you do not install the game into 'Program Files' under modern Windows, or else it might not save configs.

You can also grab a FTE QuakeWorld executable for your system too! You can host a server using FTE without port-forwarding by changing the 'sv_public' console-variable to '2' after you've set up a listen game. For that open the console using the key combination SHIFT + ESCAPE.
