Leuven, Belgium - 2. February, 2005
Registered users of both AmigaOS 4.0 and Quake 2 can now find a first OS4-Native beta version of Quake 2 in Hyperion Entertainment's download area. Note that this version is restricted to software rendering but should otherwise be fully functional.

It runs smooth here. Only the sound is not too good.
Sound works OK here, but I'm wondering if playing tracks from the CD is supposed to work. I have it set to 'yes' in Options but am not getting any music. Is it working for anybody else and if so, how do you set it up?

No. If you get a binary you are entitled to get the sources for that specific binary. Having access to one binary does not mean you are entitled to any other binaries or sources.
You can ofcourse make your own OS4 version using the WOS sources...
