And I really don't give a crap who the hell knows. It's a video card for cripes sake. The game REQUIRES 3d acceleration. If id were just sending Q3 version information for update purposes, wouldn't you assume they know you have a 3d card of some kind anyway? What the hell difference does it make if they know the brand? The only ones that will run q3 decent are 3dfx and Nvidia cards anyway. I believe Carmack when he said they use it for support data. What else would they use it for? Forget that, I don't want to know any crazy conspiracy theories. Mellow out people.
I agree. There is a way to disable it, cl_motd 0. If you don't want the info sent, enter this command. I agree they ought to have said something in the readme, but apparently it was in previous versions of the test. This tells me it was most likely an innocent oversight in the documentation. I'm as much for privacy as anyone, but I trust id. BTW, I have a tnt2 running the 3.53 detonator drivers. Oh my God I can't believe you all know that now. I feel naked.
