Quake Remaster giving CRASHLOG.TXT error on older GPUs?
Many users took to the community forum to state that they are being met with this crash log error every time they launch the game and from what they were given to understand is that older GPUs are only facing this problem.
Players are disappointed that their system isn’t being able to run a 25-year-old game as that shouldn’t be possible.
Unfortunately as of now there has been no fix released for this nor have the developers acknowledged this issue, according to some users, the graphic cards need to be able to support Vulkan API and only graphic cards above the 600 series from Nvidia are able to support this and any GPU before the 600 series won’t be able to run Quake Remastered.
