Getting Started

First thing is to download the most recent build of Trepidation and get it installed on your system. Once you have downloaded Trepidation one of the first things you will want to check is your video and network settings and make sure they fit your system. From the main menu go to: SETUP->SYSTEM->GRAPHICS and SETUP->SYSTEM->NETWORK respectively. You’ll likely want to run through all of the settings and controls to make sure they meet your needs.

Our test servers have some Quake 3 and Elite Force map conversions loaded on them. If you decide to play on maps other than the included stock maps you will have better luck getting them to run by downloading the XCSV Hi-res texture pack which will supply replacement textures and shaders that some 3rd party maps require.

You may want to familiarize yourself with the game by playing offline to begin with. Otherwise your ready to find a server to play on. When selecting online play you may find no servers displaying, be sure the the SERVERS setting on the server browser is set to INTERNET, sometimes this defaults to LOCAL.
