Coop is worse than single player because it was added as an afterthought in a patch. The original game code (not the engine) is crap and it runs as native code (contrary to the VM approach of Quake 2 that is safer). YQ2 is the most stable of them because so many invalid reads are fixed. The most obvious way to find problems in Quake 2 is playing coop.

If anything gameplay wise is changed, it is a bug that should be reported. I prefer Yamagi Quake II and Quakespasm because they are vanilla with many bugfixes.

And maybe a name is a bit misleading but it does changes absolutely nothing gameplay wise, only fixes. Unfortunately I'm a purist and in case of Quake 1 the best option was Fitzquake Mark V, and in this particular case of Quake 2 it was Knightmare's Unofficial Patch 3.24. I don't usually suggest some out of the blue, prefer to do a little research and find the best solution for my taste. Cadaver747: It least it was for me and tried Yamagi along with two other ports (forgot the name Quake2Max or something and a recent one with lighting effects).
