Quake 4 PC Ultra Settings Low Texture Fix

When loading Quake 4 in Ultra settings there is a bug where all the textures will be low quality. To fix this issue we need to create a config file to place in the Quake 4 game directory

  1. Browse to QUake 4 game directory Steam > Right-click on Quake 4 > Properties... > Installed Files > Browse...
  2. Go to the q4base directory.
  3. Create a new file called autoexec.cfg
  4. Copy the below config into the file and save.
seta image_downSizeLimit "2048"
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "0"
seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "2048"
seta image_downSizeSpecularLimit "2048"
seta image_downSizeBump "0"
seta image_downSizeSpecular "0"
seta image_useCache "0"
seta image_cacheMegs "100"
seta image_cacheMinK "30"
seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "1"
seta image_useNormalCompressionLoadDDSForPal "1"
seta image_useNormalCompression "0"
seta image_useAllFormats "1"
seta image_useCompression "0"
seta image_downSize "0"
seta image_lodbias "0"
seta image_anisotropy "16"
seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"

Bonus: If you play multiplayer most servers will have a mod such as Q4Max. Copy the autoexec.cfg file into the respective mods directory e.g q4max and that will resolve the issue for the multiplayer mods as well.
