The first screeny looks like ass though! it's like as if a bunch of ****** hauled ass into the scene and smeared ***** poo all over the box!

lol - I tend to agree, but in some cases it's cleaner and easier to see. Atm I am bored of it and use picmip 0

 

[Knubje]

This is one of the reasons I love the game

That's a beauty of a rock you shot there

There is nothing as satisfying in online gaming as Quake is sometimes. When you are on fire and you nail those one in thousand odd shots that really is just exquisit....you just have to bask in your own glory

Eh?

I get 125fps without making any changes...

Oh no, this 10 year old web browser game isn't using AA and fully utilising the vast resource of my GT 260

No one should be running this under 120fps. If you are, get off the 386 and upgrade ffs

After some awesome games last night I really need to bother to update all my settings and config. At the moment autoswitch gun is still on for me which is possibly the most frustrating thing ever - and I haven't bothered to turn it off yet

Updated the friends list, make sure you add everyone!

Are you using some kind of model pack there? The rocket launcher looks like the old (and beloved) Q1 one.

 

[FrenchTart]

Woot, it runs quite well on my work PC. Thank god for my V7200

Don't think so mate, I think he has the Quake3 rocket launcher (with the red stock on it). Except that he is using FOV 110(?) which makes things a little more widescreen and you see less of your weap but get more in peripheral vision!

 

[pmbuzz]

Was itching for game after work and i get "QuakeLive will return shortly" !!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

*edit*
Seems there's an update happening.

Ketchup

 

[DirtyJester]

Change list for the March 11 Update

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those that would like to know exactly what has changed with the site and game in the update that we made on March 11, please review the following list:

Game Changes:
--Fixed - Several mouse initialization issues where the mouse would lose focus on the appropriate window.

--Change - Nailgun - nails now bounce (about 60% of the nails shot bounce once).

--Addition - Obituary weapon icon. When you're fragged, the weapon you were killed with now shows up next to the name of the person that killed you.

--Fixed - There was often a "hitch" at the end of a match before the scoreboard appeared. This should be fixed.

--Change - Hitting F3 during training now goes straight into the match.

--Fixed - should not be telefragging anymore in Free for All or Team Deathmatch games.

--Change - cg_truelightining now range capped from 0 to 1

--Fixes - miscellaneous fixes to crashes that have been reported.

--Fixes - Various changes to arenas to fix minor clipping, z-fighting or other visual issues.

Web:
--Fix - Remember me is now fixed

--Change - added and changed visual display of clan tags everywhere on site - should be more distinguishable from name.

--Change - Re-formatted site structure a bit to accommodate a wider right column (wider chat list/box).

--Add - Share button to match results - this allows you to easily share a link to games with most social networks or other web sites.

--Add - A community tab to our News page. With all of the QUAKE LIVE community activity, we wanted to bring you the highlights straight from QUAKE LIVE.

Backend:
--A majority of our work continues to be in making changes to our back-end systems to improve performance and accommodate more players.

I still can't play this, the screen loading bit just disappears when i go to the website and nothing happens

 

[DirtyJester]

Dreadi .... what your browser shuts down ?

 

[Dreadi]

No, when i got go to the website, its show the loading thing and the link should to the forums should it not work but then it just goes blank, its still silver with teh orange boarder or whatever the colour scheme is but theres nothing to click and its not loading anything

 

[DirtyJester]

mine sometimes takes a second (or minute with bad connection atm) to load ... the only time it doesnt load up is when its updating and you get the little info at the top saying downloading 3/13 files etc etc

 

[Dreadi]

even the loading thing in the top left disappears. The status at the bottom of the browser says done and nothing is happening

 

[Knubje]

Dreadi have you tried using different browser to play on?

I used FF and then it starting giving me problems and crashing on the logon screen. I tried IE and it worked fine, next day I went back to FF and it was ok again!

Really odd!

 

[Scam]

To the above dude having problems. Have you tried say installing FireFox into :

C:\Documents Settings\USER NAME\ folder?

Good idea but unfortunately it hasnt worked. This is the error i get:

Any other ideas?

 

[CliffyG]

Install this onto a USB stick:

http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

The try running it from there. Never know it might work.

 

[KaneStatton]

I'm signed up but i've never been able to play a game on this,
if just seems to hang on getting 'XMPP' Authentication

 

[KaneStatton]

Got a game but then got kicked by punkbuster ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Knubje]

Kane do you have PB installed for other games that you play? I don't have it installed (to my knowledge) and the game still works fine through browser.

Have you tried running in another browser or updating your PB client that you're running?

To Scam, you will need admin rights now unless you can try the running from USB/External drive way of doing things. Might be possible!

I had this on my work PC, had to put Quake Live into the trusted zone and then it worked fine.
