Installing OpenArena Edit

Windows Edit

System Requirements Edit

• Minimum
  • Pentium II 233MHz / AMD K6-2 300MHz or equally powerful processor
  • 64MB of system memory
  • OpenGL supported video card with 16MB of video memory. (Voodoo Banshee, TNT and up)
  • 300MB of hard drive space

Technically, the game can run on a 486DX machine but for minimal requirements we expect a certain level of playability to draw the line.

Installation (ZIP) Edit

1. Download the latest zip archive(s) of OpenArena from one of the Download Mirrors or BitTorrent.
2. Unzip the archive(s) using a program like WinZip or 7-Zip.
3. Open the extracted folder and launch "openarena.exe".
4. Frag away!

Notice: be careful with the installation path when applying a patch. For example, when installing 0.8.5 patch over the 0.8.1 installation.

Installation (EXE) Edit

1. Download the latest exe installer(s) of OpenArena from one of the Download Mirrors or BitTorrent.
2. Run it and follow instructions.

Please notice that the Windows Installer package may not be available for all OpenArena releases: in that case you can simply use the ZIP version.

Linux Edit

System Requirements Edit

• Minimum
  • Pentium II 233MHz / AMD K6-2 300MHz or equally powerful processor
  • 64MB of system memory
  • OpenGL supported video card with 16MB of video memory. (Voodoo Banshee, TNT and up)
  • 300MB of hard drive space

In theory, the game can run on any Pentium-class processor with a Voodoo2, but don't expect much performance over 20fps and expect loading time to be over a minute.

NOTE: You must have accelerated drivers for your video card installed for best results. This may require using the not-entirely-open-source NVIDIA drivers for NVIDIA cards. This also means that some video cards may not work even if they meet the above-stated minimum requirements.

Installation Edit

Precompiled packages are available for the most popular distributions.

See LinuxInstall
