Why Choose Ray Hosting for your Quake 2 Server?
AMD Ryzen 9 hardware, worldwide low-latency network, and robust DDoS protection – we handle the backend, you focus on gameplay.
Yes, our Quake 2 hosting supports custom engines and source ports. Thanks to our pure raw metal nodes and Ryzen™ 9 7900 processors, you can flawlessly run Quake II RTX or classic Q2PRO servers depending on your community's preferences.
You can easily install classic Quake 2 mods by uploading the mod files to your server via our unrestricted SFTP root access or our advanced web file explorer, then changing the '+set game' parameter in your server's startup command line.
Quake 2 servers typically run at 10-40 fps, but our bare-metal compute nodes featuring AMD Ryzen™ 9 7900 processors pushing 5.4GHz+ can effortlessly handle tickrates of 100+ for incredibly smooth, zero-latency gameplay.
Yes, we fully support the 2023 Enhanced Edition. Combined with our global edge network for <30ms latency, you can host servers with updated graphics, improved netcode, and seamless crossplay support for modern platforms.
On our platform, port forwarding is handled automatically with instant provisioning. Just ensure your `server.cfg` includes `setmaster` commands to register with the master server, and our enterprise DDoS Shield will keep your traffic clean.
A listen server is hosted via your game client and stops when you quit. A dedicated server, hosted on our RAID-1 Gen4 NVMe arrays, runs 24/7 in the background (`+set dedicated 1`) to handle connections with zero tick-skipping.
Configuration is managed through the `server.cfg` file. Our syntax-highlighted web file explorer makes it easy to set `maxclients`, `fraglimit`, and `hostname`, or use the `+set game ` parameter to run mods.
With Ray Hosting's dedicated servers, you don't need a VPN or port forwarding. Our automated container orchestration deploys your server instantly on public IPs protected by our custom eBPF/XDP network-layer mitigation.
