This v1.1 BETA Patch of Quake 4 fixes some small issues during gameplay. It also has some very nice addons, such as:
- Voice Chat in multiplayer simmilair to CS - Forcemodel option (much like Quake 3 once had) - 1 Minute Warning during tournament matches (much like Quake 3) - Fixed pure server autodownloading - Hyper-Threading Technology support (Woo for folks with Intel Pentium 4 CPUs with HT support!) - smooth stairjumping - other community-requested fixes
This update will bring any previous version of the game completely up to date, however it will affect pure server and protocol consistency. Therefore, players who update to 1.1 BETA will only be able to play multiplayer against other 1.1 BETA users, and save games created on previous versions of the game will not be compatible with the 1.1 BETA update. Please use the form at www.idsoftware.com/bugs/ to report any issues you find with the 1.1 BETA.
The update is not completely finished yet, but they will soon release the full version of the update. As a bonus, they are releasing 4 new maps to continue the Quakemas map series.
id Software is also working with a mod team to get the SDK for Quake 4 out...woo!
