Topic Starter	Topic: Quake 4 v1.1 Official Point Release - Revoked March 28
xchaser xchaser Joined: 04 Dec 1999 Posts: 1946	Posted: 03-26-2006 03:37 PM                  The QUAKE 4 1.1 Point Release update is now available. This highly anticipated patch addresses a number of issues throughout both single and multiplayer, with a heavy and attentive focus on improving the multiplayer experience. Such improvments include: a fixed pure server system, a new AddonPak autodownloading system, voice chat in multiplayer, a forcemodel option, brightskins, smooth stairjumping, a one-minute warning for tournament matches, Hyper-Threading Technology and Dual Core support as well as a ton of multiplayer specific fixes which have been requested by the community and discovered during our own gameplay. For a complete list of new features, fixes, and changes, please see the ReadMe file. Link to ReadMe: working URL 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 will only be able to play multiplayer against other 1.1 users, and save games created on previous versions of the game will not be compatible with the 1.1 update. Feature Overview: Hyper-Threading Technology: This update enables QUAKE 4 to take advantage of the Hyper-Threading Technology of Intel(r) Dual core processors. Players who have computer systems with this processor will notice significant performance gains in QUAKE 4. With the update, systems with a single core processor which uses the Hyper-Threading Technology will have a performance jump of up to 25% compared to non Hyper-Threaded processors. Dual core processors with Hyper-Threading Technology will see a performance increase of up to 87%. In short, systems with this technology will see the game run much faster than ever before. [+]Learn How to Enable Hyper-Threading Technology in the Game New Maps Outpatient - q4dm10 Cold, blood-stained hallways and flickering fluorescent lights set the mood in this once active Strogg medical complex. The heart-pounding pace of this map will keep players racing through the winding corridors, but only the quickest will survive. In addition to traditional DM, Outpatient can also be played in Team Deathmatch and Tourney modes. Skeleton Crew- q4dm11 The dark empty void that surrounds this stranded space station offers no pity for those lost in battle. This multi level arena generates fast paced action that commands the attention of players in all skill levels. Expert navigation of the twists and turns that lead from deck to deck will be your only ally. Engage your foes in Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch games. As an added challenge you can also battle it out 1v1 style in Tourney mode. Mind the Gap - q4ctf6 This massive processing factory uses alien technology to mine from the core of Stroggos itself - be sure to Mind The Gap in each base which only leads to an inescapable abyss and your death. This muti-tiered structure defies description and will leave only the heartiest and most cunning soldiers as the victors! Contest your team’s supremacy in CTF or Arena CTF modes. Double Edged - q4ctf8 Double Edged revisits the Quake II(tm) classic… with a twist – Capture the Flag! The battle arena has been doubled so brush up on your long range weapon skills, but don’t fret if your Rail isn’t exactly "impressive." You’ll also find some tight corridors for those of you more comfortable with in-your-face combat. Destined to be a classic in its own right, settle those team grudge matches in this remix of a classic in CTF or Arena CTF battle. Forcemodels Added a forcemodel option. Typing one of the three commands below and using tab complete will bring up a list of usable models for that command: Brightskins Pro models for Marine and Strogg have been added. These two new skins are new game content and not replacements for the originals. They can be selected from the Multiplayer menu. Their names are "Pro Marine" and "Pro Strogg". The combination of forcemodels and brightskins offer a dramatic increase in visibility, for pics and links to the PointRelease head on over to: http://www.idsoftware.com/ ninja edit: thanks for posting this xchaser, I fixed a few of your URLs _________________ |-----| Last edited by xchaser on 03-28-2006 10:32 AM, edited 2 times in total.

But if anyone needs the 1.1 final SDK a day early, pm me what mod it's for and an upload location and I can give you either or both the win32 and linux SDKs." This was said on the 27th.

And http://www.idsoftware.com/downloads/sha ... x86.run.gz It's still not officially out, something to do with Activision's business rules I read. However, the .exe in the .zip file above is from Activision and does say "Quake 4(TM) 1.1 Patch", so I think it's the real deal. May be worth downloading in order to beat the rush later, but it might also turn out not to be the correct patch.

[TJD]Rico Commander Joined: 18 Oct 2005 Posts: 109	Posted: 03-28-2006 03:28 AM                  Well, I've installed it, anyway, and it's good enough to try the maps out. I think Double Edged could be OK, actually. I don't like the look of Mind the Gap, though.

Oeloe The Illuminated Joined: 19 Mar 2004 Posts: 1530	Posted: 03-28-2006 06:43 AM                  From the first look it seems that they still haven't addressed a lot of important issues. The SG spread pattern is still fucked. I doubt that they've had the guts to implement any of the gameplay changes suggested by SyncError at ESR... Instead of real fixes, we get extra maps and brightskins - exactly what i was afraid of. :/ And why couldn't they even include a demo playback menu?! pm_ZoomedSlow works well though. Perhaps it should be set to a value of something like 20 by default. That seems to replicate the Q3 zoom sens pretty well (1/5th or 20% of normal sens). Stop mapping and start coding...

[TJD]Rico Commander Joined: 18 Oct 2005 Posts: 109	Posted: 03-28-2006 07:22 AM                  I rather hope they have mappers mapping and coders coding. If the coders are mapping, maybe that explains Relativity. =)

For those who didn't know. If needed I can post another link since the other was locked.
