Yamagi Quake II 7.40

[Voodoo]

Yamagi Quake 2 source port version 7.40 is out:

https://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/windows/quake2-7.40.zip

Changes since 7.30:

- Add support for HTTP downloads. Both the r1q2 and q2pro URL schemes
are supported, if a file is unavailable over HTTP the download code
falls back to UDP.
- Savegames can be removed through the menu by pressing 'del' on the
selected savegame. (by Jonathan Bergeron)
- Support external entity files. This was submitted by @NeonKnightOA.
- Some fixes to OGG/Vorbis music playback. The music keeps playing after
s_restart and ogg_shuffle is handled correctly by the menu.
- Another round of timing fixes. Average frame times are now taken into
account when taking an educated guess on the next frames render time.
And the display refresh rate detection no longer cripple working GPU
drivers in an efford to work around bugs in older version of AMDs.
- A lot of fixes to the internal memory management. The game is now
much more memory efficient, this allows playing of extremly big maps
without crashes. This is largly based upon work done by Denis Pauk.
- New and much more detailed documentation.
- Enhancements to the software renderer. Retexturing packs are now
supported, general cleanup and bugfixes. (by Denis Pauk)

Awesome. Thanks for the update. I’m actually rather fond of Yamagi Quake II

is Yamagi Quake 2 safe?
when i start Yamagi Quake 2 via the respective .exes in the Quake 2 folder (yquake2.exe/quake2.exe), i get a "Windows protected your PC"-alert.
when starting the game through Steam i dont get the alert.
i guess that is just because the altered .exes are of unknown origin to Windows?

oh, another thing with Yamagi: it does not seem to care about the resolution i set the game to, when fullscreen is activated.
as soon as i set the game to fullscreen, the resolution sets itself to "auto".
id like to run the game fullscreen but with a 720p resolution, which would be enough on my laptop and conserve battery... i dont even know what resolution the game is running when in auto-mode - i guess the screens native resolution of 1080p?

it is if you get it from github and not from some weird site or link

Yamagi .EXEs are not signed (not a big deal if you download from known sources) and you probably have Microsoft SmartScreen which complains about that.

thanks for your answer!
i didnt get it from github, i got it from "https://www.yamagi.org" - which should be safe, i guess.
im propably overly paranoid, its just, since i got back into PC-gaming my only machine to game on is the laptop im doing most other things on too.

how do experienced PC-gamers do it, btw?
gaming (and modding, etc..) on a computer that is solely dedicated to gaming, with the only personal information the logins to the different online stores?

or do you guys precheck the mod-files through things like virustotal? and if so is that enough?

Just don't download stuff from random links and shoddy sites, keep Windows Defender always running, have another antimalware such as Malwarebytes installed (free version is OK, you don't need realtime protection because Windows Defender is already covering that), and once in a week run full system scan with Defender and Malwarebytes just to be sure.
