Linux Q3Test 1.07

Posted by justin++ on from the woohoo! dept.

ozium writes "Q3test 1.07 out for Linux. blah blah get it blah blah lose sleep. www.quake3arena.com " Finally! I've been dying, since all the different Q3's are incompatible. For the last week or so, Linux users have been unable to play on just about all the public servers out there. I wonder how much faster this one is...

    An important thing to know is that the ping time as shown in the game does include your frame rate. If you are getting 20fps, that's 50ms added to the trip time to the server. Add a good 30ms to get over a WAN link and you're sitting at 80ms.

    But if you are getting 100fps (not unreasonable, I get 100fps pretty consistently on my Voodoo3 on a P2-450), that's only at most 10ms added to the trip time.
