Download & Play

Below are the required files to play the game. As WFA runs on the Quake 3 engine, a valid installation is required (pak0 and a CD key).

We recommend using Quake3e in place of the older/vanilla Q3 engine.

If you’re connecting to a server and missing maps, make sure you have downloads turned on (/cl_allowdownload 1 in the console). Quake3e utilize fast downloads and will happily snag any missing WFA maps & files.

If you’d like a bit more guidance, click here to watch the How to Install & Configure WFA video.

If you’re looking for miscellaneous or older downloads, i.e. Bob’s WFA Config Builder, WFA Stats Analyzer, older builds, please visit the Legacy Downloads page.
