1: i've managed to make the shaft not so blurry at the end of the shaft with some gfx settings in nvidia think it was by using some antialiasing, is there a cvar in ql for it aswell?

2: My volume is insanely low in ql, using s_volume 1, have always had the same levels in windows and a year ago it was fine, anything new or do i have to turn every program on my pc down?

Solution by mar-:

Start up a quakelive game, make it window-mode, and then check your Windows Volume Mixer and see if the volume is lower then your main volume.
