High compatibility - R1Q2 clients can connect to any normal Q2 server and normal Q2 clients can connect to an R1Q2 server. Separation of renderer and network code in the client - no longer are you forced to run at 30 FPS to avoid flooding your modem! R1Q2 uses cl_maxfps control your network packet rate whilst the renderer still runs at full speed. Even non-R1Q2 clients will benefit from some of the changes! R1Q2 clients also benefit from faster connection times, reduced outgoing bandwidth usage and other nice features. Enhanced netcode - support for text message queues, zlib compressed packets and various other bandwidth-saving improvements. Speed increases thanks to file system caches, removal of redundant code and a streamlined dedicated-only binary for servers. 
Additional sanity checks are added for Game DLLs so a buggy mod has less chance of taking the whole server down.
Stability improvements - some public R1Q2 servers have been up for over 150 days. 
All publically known bugs and exploits are patched in R1Q2.
Security fixes to both client and server code to prevent crashes, buffer overflows, DoS attacks and other nasty things. You may also be interested in R1GL, an enhanced OpenGL renderer for Quake II with the same design goals as R1Q2. The server-side binaries (dedicated.exe, r1q2ded) are highly recommended however as they contain numerous security and performance improvements over standard Q2 and are very stable having been in production use since mid-2002. Client-side binaries available here are release snapshots and therefore may be unstable or contain broken/missing functionality. This is great! But please, if you have a problem with the server, let me know! I hope to make R1Q2 the best available server binary for Quake II, and I can't do that without your help. () Note about advisory: It seems a lot of server admins are switching to using R1Q2 as a result of my recent advisory. Based on the id Software 3.21 source, rather than concentrate onįancy graphics, embedded MP3 players and other "gimmick" features, R1Q2 is focused on providing stability, security and speed. R1Q2 is an enhanced client/server for Quake II. R1Q2 - R1CHs Hacked Quake II Client/Server About
