It also includes messages for killing sprees and other in-game actions to keep players informed.

ezQuake focuses on features important for competitive gaming.

It supports advanced weapon handling, fullbright skins, and team or enemy color settings.

The client also automatically records games, takes screenshots, and logs console info.

These tools help players review their matches and improve their skills.

Users can customize many parts of the game interface.

Options include changing the HUD, the colors of walls and liquids, world textures, crosshairs, sky images, console backgrounds, and fonts.

You can also turn off certain graphic effects to improve game performance.

The software has its own independent physics system, allowing the smoothest gameplay without relying on server or network limits.

It also includes an integrated server browser to search and filter online game servers easily.

ezQuake enhances demo and QTV playback so players can watch recorded games from multiple views, see action on a radar, check player stats, and auto-track the strongest player.

Note that ezQuake only runs on Linux and needs commercial Quake data files to play supported games.

These files must be obtained separately.
