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 improvements 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.

This update also includes 4 new professionally made multiplayer maps - free for your fragging pleasure. There are 2 new DM maps and 2 new CTF maps, including a CTF version of the popular "The Edge" map. In addition to these 4 maps, we've also included the free QUAKEMAS map pack that we released in December. Please see below for screenshots of the new maps.

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 and demos created on previous versions of the game will not be compatible with the 1.1 update.

For a complete list of new features, fixes, and changes, please see the ReadMe file.

Update from an id software employee (SyncError).

It only affects a certain manufacturer's certain 20" model. And it isn't even confirmed yet if it has anything to do with the software, it may have just been bad monitors.
Activison is just playing it safe until we gather more information from testing.

More info comes in.

The problem doesn't even occur when you are on that monitor and you force it into widescreen (which it doesn't support). The problem occurs when you attempt to force it into widescreen, ignore the warning message "Video Mode not Supported" and keep clicking the toggle over and over. As in nearly a hundred times. THEN after all that time, it is causing this one model of monitor to get damaged. In otherwords, they have no clue if it even has to do with the game. It may just be poor manufacturing and rapidly changing modes over and over cause the monitor to fail.
