    Geez, why waste bandwidth, just get the patch, you losers.

    [ Suddenly, Anonymouse Coward notices that this article is about Q3A, not the kernel. ]

    Oh. Never mind.

    IMPORTANT!

    You must completely nuke your old Q3TEST install before installing the update.
    The config files from the old build are BAD voodoo.

    You can also type "exec democycle" to watch a bunch of id people play the map.

    Q3Test 1.05 is DONE!

    New Linux/Mac versions are going up right now, and we're finishing up the installer
    for the Win32 version.

    If all goes well, the Win32 version will follow in a few hours (few == six or so).

  4. Quit whining, there's a reason... by Malc · · Score: 4

    From what I've heard, ID Software deliberately released on non-win32 platforms first. Why? By targeting a platform (Mac and then Linux and finally Win32) with a smaller targer audience they won't get so many duplicated bug reports on the core cross-platform code. It saves them time and effort filtering and logging bugs.
