How To Obtain And Install
Obtain 007: Quantum of Solace from MyAbandonware.
This is currently the recommended source because it hosts the English/French build that works with Project: Consolation and also hosts the 1.1 patch you need to install.
Only the English/French 1.1 release is supported right now.
Unsupported setups currently include:
- repacks
- other regional releases
- unpatched
1.0 - other game versions
Games for Windows - LIVE keys are also often given away in our Discord:
Work is also being done to remove the long-term need for keys entirely, but that is not ready yet.
007: Quantum of Solace on PC has effectively been unavailable through normal first-hand digital storefronts for a long time.
That means people usually end up getting the game through second-hand copies, key resellers, or abandonware archives rather than through an official current storefront.
Availability and legality can vary by region, so use your own judgment and follow local rules.
You should install Games for Windows - LIVE separately using an up-to-date package.
The recommended source is:
Keep in mind that newer Games for Windows - LIVE packages may behave differently over time depending on compatibility changes.
Install the game normally.
The recommended install path is the default path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Quantum of Solace(TM)\
Then install the official 1.1 patch.
Patch 1.1 may not install correctly if the game is not installed in the default C:\ location. To avoid path issues, the recommended setup is the default install path plus the official 1.1 patch.
If you are using a nightly build or a release build:
- extract or copy the build into the game root
- overwrite everything when prompted
- launch using
Launch Consolation.lnk
The included shortcut already uses the required -multiplayer launch argument.
Example target behind the shortcut:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Quantum of Solace(TM)\JB_Launcher_s.exe" -multiplayer
Nightly builds should ship with Launch Consolation.lnk for this.
If your game is installed in the default directory, you should be able to use the included shortcut as-is.
If your game is not installed in the default directory, edit the shortcut target so it points at your real install path.
Advanced users can still make a non-default install work by manually copying the patch 1.1 files into the game root and then editing Launch Consolation.lnk so it points at the correct JB_Launcher_s.exe path.
