Quake 3 Point Release 1.29f

[old.SmoKe-23]

Released, lol, when BW updating their servers? Or have they been done already.

Thx ppl

I doubt we will as its a Beta and will break the majority of mods we run, we will probably wait for the final version.

RE 1.29F BETA

does this mean that there will be a test server or not?

Personally I'm only slightly tempted by the improvement in bandwidth usage to bother upgrading.

The UC Quake3 Guide has been updated to reflect the major changes in the 1.29 BETA patch, specifically:

• Updated the "Framerate and Visual Tweaks" section with versions of the 'Intensive' UCGuideDemos for Quake3 1.29 and Team Arena 1.29. The original 1.1x UCGuideDemos and 1.27 UCGuideDemos are still online for those running 1.17 or 1.27. The UCGuideDemo packs contain two 'crusher' custom demos to be used for benchmarking and tweaking purposes, both stress the graphics/cpu/t&l subsystem very heavily but in different ways.
  
• All tweak configs in the "Framerate and Visual Tweaks" section have been updated to reflect changes in the 1.29 point release.
  
• Connection tweaks section updated to reflect changes in 1.29

Has anyone actually used it???

I'm dying to see the new railgun effects - I hope they are like the old Q2 effects???????

Yep, for me its pretty good, feels solid, like the new rail style as its been taken from the Alliance team

Most mods aseem to ctually work fine with 1.29f without any changes from current as long as server and client are 1.29f obviously.

Personally I'd upgrade em, but I can see the reason for people not doing quite yet. Anyone actually sure there will be another "full" pr?
