About LibreQuake

The LibreQuake project aims to create a complete, free content first-person shooter

game, but LibreQuake by itself is just the raw material for a game. It must be paired

with a compatible engine to be played.

There is a massive back catalogue, spanning over two decades, containing thousands of

Quake levels and other modifications (“mods”) made by fans of the game. LibreQuake

aims to be compatible with these and allows most to be played without the need to use non-free

software.

To install mods for the flatpak version of LibreQuake you need to place them in the

~/.var/app/io.github.lavenderdotpet.LibreQuake/.quakespasm/ directory.

This is were your config, screenshots and demos are located too.

Disclaimer: In its current form LibreQuake is a work in progress effort which may

include placeholder assets, missing textures or unfinished parts.

This release is bundled with the quakespasm sourceport which is released under the

GPL-2.0 license. See the Github page for details about used licenses.
