The QUAKE 4 1.4.2 Point Release Patch is now available for download. This update includes a host of features added during the 1.4 beta program, such as: refined hitboxes, optimized sound and network code, configurable fps caps, weapon balancing, server direct autodownloading, addonpak fixes and Q4TV to name only a few. The majority of our additions have been included thanks to direct community feedback and beta participation. We hope everyone enjoys the new content, features and fixes! For a more complete list of changes, please see the README.
Haven't purchased QUAKE 4 or looking to preview the changes that have been made since its release? We will also be releasing a new QUAKE 4 1.4.2 powered Multiplayer Demo soon! Stayed tuned to idsoftware.com for more information and download links.
The 1.4.2 update affects pure server and protocol consistency. Therefore, players who update to 1.4.2 from ANY previous version will only be able to connect and play against other 1.4.2 users. Save games and demos created on any previous version of the game will not be compatible with the 1.4.2 update.
I installed the demo and it feels great. I too think it feels better than q3. Movement and weapons just feel "right". I have tons of fun ATM in "Over The Edge"... :icon25: :icon25: :icon25:

What will not help is sarcasm and cynicism.
The demo seems to have a healthy number of players, and is increasing day by day. There are also servers in countries that previously had no active Q4 servers. So yes, I think this is definitely helpful - except whiners like yourself.
