Related Topics – E3, id software, Quake 3 Arena

id Software has sent word that a new release of Quake3 is on the way today. v1.29G which has now been made available via the auto-update system if you already installed the 1.29f release (a lot of people did) or if you're still oldschoolin it with an older version the FTP will open up at 5pm CST. Here's a list of minor bugs that have been fixed for the new version.

- Players joining (and apparently leaving) the game cause everyone to hitch - fs_handleforfile: none free ERROR - No sound in NT 4.0 at all with 1.29f PR - There is a shader bug in Pro-q3dm6 - made /startOrbit cheatprotected - Rcon issues now resolved. - fs_basegame isn't published to clients - fixedlegs command in the animation config is apparently not working - + and - cvars fixed - After last level of tier game doesn't stay on trophy screen, instead it takes you directly to next tier screen - developer cheats like R_Showtris have been disabled in the PR (they were never disabled, the user simply needs to run the game with "+set developer 1" minus quotes, at the command line.

Here's some mirrors you can grab the file from: Win32: id Software , CDROM , Blues , 3DG , PlanetMirror and Linux: id Software , CDROM , Blues , 3DG , PlanetMirror

NOTE TO USERS WANTING TO UNINSTALL QUAKE 3
If you running a Windows OS and want to uninstall Quake III Arena and Quake III Team Arena it is EXTREMELY important that you follow these steps, in this order.

- 1) From the control panel, remove any point releases that you have installed. They will be labeled (Quake III Arena Point Release (1.29f) BETA, or something similar).

- 2) From the control panel, remove Quake III Team Arena, if you have it installed.

- 3) From the control panel, remove Quake III Arena.

what happens if you don't do it in this order ?
