Q3 Release in "Day or so"

June 18, 2001 12:24 PM

Meant to ping the id Software guys myself about this but been kinda forgetful wrapped up in moving and taking a roadtrip and this damned GBA. At any rate word from Robert Duffy (Thanks Stomped) is that the new beta release of Quake3 will be out "within a day or so barring us finding anything major" which is good news. The new release includes quite a few things of note. Here's a list from a Duffy .plan update from a little while ago:

- net traffic is now being compressed at about 4:1, this should make a huge difference for modem players.
- substantial FPS boost for most people and there are a bunch of fixes/tweaks in place
- auto update system for future releases
- UI stuff release for mod teams
