this release adds several minor optimizations. however, most 486-class systems will not see measurable improvement in timedemo benchmarks compared to r4.

the crash that occurred when no sound card was attached and the game was launched without the -nosound parameter has also been fixed.

if you are not sure which file to use for your cpu, here's a rough guide:

  • 386quake.exe
    • all 386 cpus and clones
  • 486quake.exe
    • all socket 1/2/3 processors, except Pentium Overdrive
    • TI 486DLC and 486 SLC
    • Cyrix 6x86, 6x86L, 6x86MX
    • AMD K6
    • IDT WinChip
  • 586quake.exe
    • all Pentium processors
    • AMD K5
  • 686quake.exe
    • Pentium Pro and beyond
    • possibly Cyrix 6x86MX (untested)
