Duffy on Quake3 v125
Steve Gibson
44
Robert Duffy from id Software has been exceptional at responding to the public inquiries about the v125 patch for Quake3. He was kind enough to answer a number of questions on the Shack boards as well as on XSR. Here's a quick roundup of his posts:

- Duffy explains some of the new netcode console commands
- Duffy on reasons behind most code changes in patches
- Duffy mentions physics going back to v117 style
- Duffy on rl splash being a bug, not a feature.
- Duffy on possible physics fix considerations.

RobbyD also mentions that they are going to have a follow-up patch in the pretty near future. (Hopefully this week) So keep your fingers crossed. I know the fanatics will hate me, but I personally liked the changes. :P

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.

    the changes aren't that bad...but they shouldn't be made this late in the game.
