Error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0

Can't write jpg screenshots or they are zero size

Try using different display frequency and resolution. Use e.g. "+set vid_displayfrequency 60 -width 640" as a command line options. If everything fails try "-current" as a command line option.

Cannot find gfx.wad error message

There are several things that can cause this:

  1. You don't have c:\quake\id1\pak0.pak
  2. You have opened c:\quake\id1\pak0.pak in some program, i.e. Pak Explorer (hence you need to close that program)
  3. You have unzipped the ezquake package into the wrong directory (ezquake.exe and ezquake-gl.exe should be in c:\quake\)
  4. You have created a shortcut with the wrong "Start in" directory
