I just ruined my client's video settings somehow and my display shows "input not supported" when the client is running, which means I can't see anything. I tried to press ~ and type cvar_restart
right after the video disappears, but it didn't work and I had to force-quit the game.
Is there a way to reset video settings without launching the game?

You'll want to edit your Quake Live configuration file. This can be found in the following locations, depending on the version of Windows you're running:
Windows XP: %appdata%\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3
Windows Vista or later: %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3
Once you've opened this location, it's the
qzconfig.cfg
file you're after. In this file, search for the liner_mode
. This will be set to a value between -2 and 27, depending on the resolutions available to the game.Here is a list of
r_mode
values:Simply change the value of
r_mode
to a resolution your monitor can support.If you want to use a custom resolution, set
r_mode
to-1
and take a look at the following settings:In addition to the above, you can also set Quake Live to run in Window Mode by setting
r_fullscreen
to0
(or1
to set full screen).
