Quake 4 1.3 is out
« on: July 31, 2006, 08:45:54 PM »
We've been working hard and playing harder to bring you the release of version 1.3 for Quake 4. This update includes a host of new and community requested features such as: more agile player movement, weapon balance adjustments, a single ambient light option, improved rendering and cpu peformance and much more. We are also excited to introduce some brand new elements to Quake 4:

New gametype - DeadZone
New multiplayer weapon - Napalm Launcher
8 new professionally made maps
4 revized maps for additional DeadZone support
"Buy" mode server option that allows you to purchase weapons and equipment.

We hope everyone enjoys the new content, features and fixes! For a complete list of changes, please see the README.

The 1.3 update affects pure server and protocol consistency. Therefore, players who update to 1.3 from ANY previous version will only be able to connect and play against other 1.3 users. Save games created on any previous version of the game will not be compatible with the 1.3 update.

I just want to know what makes id's patches not compatible to previous versions' saved games/servers. You almost never see that from Epic....
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

epic is really good about patches, i've seen many old versions of UT work with new/old servers.

EA just breaks your game/system

id's just work, but you loose stuff

So there is still a 1v1 DM tournament for sure. Becuase under event info there isn't a q4 1v1 DM under 'definite' or 'possible' or w/e.
