Quantum by Outracks vs Nazareth Creations is a Windows PC demo released at The Gathering demo party in April 2009. It won 2nd place in the PC demo competition. It is a really good and entertaining demo with a great sound-track and some quite interesting graphical effects.

It uses the DirectX 9 graphics API to render the fancy and somewhat impressive graphics.

Wine Compatibility[edit]

The Quantum scene demo runs fine in Wine 6.x if you use either of the optional Gallium Nine or DXVK add-ons for rendering graphics using the DirectX9 API. The Wine built-in wined3d DX9 to OpenGL translation will fail to show any graphics beyond the loading screen and print out a series of console messages informing you that:

0024:fixme:d3d9:Direct3DShaderValidatorCreate9 Returning stub validator 67C9E028.

The simple solution is to not use the Wine built-in wined3d DX9 translation layer if you want to run this scene demo. Use Gallium Nine or DXVK and the Quantum demo will run and look as it should.

Download[edit]

The demo loader has a "Save Soundtrack" button that will save the sound-track as a .ogg file. There is no need to download it separately.
