MetalQuake v0.9.0 (Beta)

Installation & Getting Started

1. Download & Unpack
   Download MetalQuake-v0.9.0-arm64.zip from the Assets section below.

Double-click the archive to extract MetalQuake.app.

Move MetalQuake.app to your /Applications folder.

2. Gatekeeper Workaround (Unsigned Binary)
   Because this beta build is distributed without an active Apple Developer ID signature/notarization, macOS Gatekeeper may block execution on first launch.

Recommended fix via Terminal:
Open Terminal.app and run:

xattr -cr /Applications/MetalQuake.app

Alternative GUI Method: Right-click (or Control-click) MetalQuake.app in Finder, select Open, and click Open again in the macOS security prompt.

3. Setting Up Game Files

Step 1: Launch MetalQuake.

Step 2: In the SwiftUI launcher, click Choose Game Directory.

Step 3: Select your Quake installation folder (the parent directory containing the id1/ folder).

Step 4: Select your preferred Display Resolution, MetalFX Scaler Mode, and Audio Settings.

Step 5: Click Launch Game.
