QUAKE 4 1.1 BETA Update Available

Activision has released the BETA of our broad
QUAKE 4 update. It fixes issues and adds gameplay elements throughout both
single and multiplayer—including voice chat in multiplayer, a forecemodel
option, a one-minute warning for tournament matches, fixed pure server
autodownloading, Hyper-Threading Technology support, smooth stairjumping and a
ton of multiplayer specific fixes which have been requested by the community and
discovered during during their own gameplay. For a complete list of new
features, fixes, and changes, please see the ReadMe file.

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 BETA will only be able to play
multiplayer against other 1.1 BETA users, and save games created on previous
versions of the game will not be compatible with the 1.1 BETA update. Please use
the form at
www.idsoftware.com/bugs/ to report any issues you find with the 1.1 BETA
update.

Once we are satisfied the 1.1 BETA is completely
solid, we will release the FINAL 1.1 update. This will be a required update and
will be available through the “Update” option in the game. With that release,
we’ll also be including 4 all-new multiplayer maps in addition to the QUAKEMAS
map pack (3 maps) that was released in December.

We are currently working with the mod team
community to deliver the 1.1 SDK and bring their mods current as soon as
possible. Lastly, stay tuned in the coming months for additional free game
content including new maps and gametypes.
