Please note that in-game console commands are not supported by Activision(r).

This update for QUAKE 4 addresses issues found in both multiplayer and single player since the release of the game. A complete list of changes and additions is included below. For future updates and more information about the game, please visit the official game website at http://www.quake4game.com

NOTES FOR MOD USERS:
It is recommended that any user modifications that have been installed to the QUAKE 4 directory be removed before installing this update. These modifications are not supported by Activision and may not be compatible with some of the new features that are included in the patch.

A BETA update for QUAKE 4 is now available. This update is recommended for Windows users with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) enabled processors, multiple processors, or systems with a dual core processor. The update is also required for Windows and Linux server admins as it addresses a recently identified problem with servers left unoccupied for very long periods of time (these servers will appear to be operating normally, but will crash clients that attempt to connect to them). This update will bring any previous version of the game (1.0.0 or 1.0.4) up to date and will not affect pure server, PunkBuster compatibility or protocol consistency.

id Software and Raven have worked with Intel to dramatically improve QUAKE 4 performance on systems with HT Technology, multiple processors, or dual core processors. Players who have a system with one of these configurations will notice performance gains in QUAKE 4 of anywhere from 25% - 87% depending on processor type. If you do not know whether or not you have a multi-processor, dual core, or HT Technology enabled system, please see the ReadMe file for simple instructions on checking your system. Please use the form at http://www.idsoftware.com/bugs/ to report any issues you find with the 1.0.5 update.

FIXES & UPDATES IN 1.0.4.0:

GENERAL:

• Copied map files can now be overwritten/deleted without quitting first.
• The console command "com_allowconsole" will stay set after leaving the game.

INTERFACE:

• Improved Game Browser sorting and filtering:
  • You can sort by up to three criteria, which will be displayed just under the server list, with the more recently clicked criteria sorting first. For example, to sort by ping time, then number of players, then gametype, click them in the reverse order: Click "GAMETYPE," then "PLAYERS," then "PING." The server list will be sorted by the fastest ping, then the servers with the fewest players, then the gametype. Clicking a category more than once will keep its position as the primary sorting criteria, but will change the sorting order. After cycling through all available sort types, clicking the category a final time will remove it from the sorting.
  • Each criteria has specific behavior with one or two clicks, as listed:
    • Favorite Server: Display only favorites, or only non-favorites.
    • Password Enabled: Display only locked server, or only unlocked servers.
    • Dedicated Server: Display only Dedicated servers, or only Listen servers.
    • Punkbuster Enabled: Display only PB-enabled servers, or only PB- disabled servers.
    • Server Name: Sort server names A to Z, or Z to A.
    • Ping: Sort by ping Low to High, or High to Low.
    • Players: Sort by Players High to Low, High to Low (non-full), Low to High, or Low to High (non-empty).
    • Gametype: Sort by Deathmatch, Team DM, Tournament, CTF, or Arena CTF.
    • Map: Sort by map CTF1 to DM9, or DM9 to CTF1.
• The Game Browser now displays more than 1000 servers.
• Fixed a problem with the refresh time on the Game Browser.
• Added a Game Browser filter for full or empty servers.
• Players can now connect to a server while the Game Browser is refreshing.
• Game Browser sorting will display the correct server information without the need to refresh the list.
• Clicking anywhere on the scrollbar except the button itself will advance a page up or down instead of shifting to that position.
• Non-full server sorting now disregards full servers.
• Game Browser hover window updates when sort order is changed.
• Fixed a Game Browser slowdown issue with high numbers of servers.
• Added Game Browser server list scrolling with the mousewheel, keyboard arrows up/down, and keyboard Page Up/Page Down.
• The Game Browser hover window will only appear when mousing over a highlighted server.
• Sorting by server name will now ignore colored names, brackets, etc.

MULTIPLAYER:

• The dedicated server window will now be titled with the si_name setting instead of "Quake 4".
