Fixes & Updates in 1.1:

General:

* Corrected an issue with skipping the ending cinematic.
* Pentium(r) M processors will now be properly detected.
* When using right-click to lower the video quality, the user will be prompted to apply the change immediately.
* Corrected a stability issue related to old sound drivers.
* Added doImpulse and doButton commands to support button actions and impulses via the console. For example:
o bind l "doButton +_moveup; wait 5; doButton -_moveup;"
o bind l "doImpulse _impulse1; wait 10; doImpulse _impulse5"
* Several sound issues have been corrected.
* Added mouse acceleration functionality with the m_accel cvar. This is only available through the console. Higher values give more acceleration.
* Video option changes can be applied immediately instead of restarting the game.
* Widescreen option will no longer affect the menus adversely.
* The FOV (g_fov) can now be adjusted higher than 110. We do not recommend values higher than 110.
* Application stability improved when setting the Sound Device to General Software with a Creative X-Fi sound card.
* Implemented an AddOn PK4 system similar to Doom 3(tm) v1.3. Please see http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom/AddonPaks for more info.
* Resolved an issue with the level editor not working correctly with SMP enabled.
* Corrected a few localized string errors.
* Added a new cvar for adjusting the look speed while zoomed: pm_zoomedSlow (defaults to 100). This can be adjusted from 1 to 100: lower numbers are slower.
* Finalized network demos: replay client or server recordings of network game or run performance tests. Please see http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/NetworkDemos for more info.


Multiplayer:

New Features:

* Voice chat for Multiplayer is now available! To use voice chat, a microphone must be present and working on the system. After setting up the microphone correctly in your operating system, a Voice Chat key must be set in the Settings/Controls/Other tab, which is accessed from the Main Menu. Configuration of the voice chat options such as Mic Input Volume, Receive Volume, etc can only be accessed in the ESC menu’s "Voice Config" option once you have successfully loaded into a multiplayer match. When in any team game (TeamDM/CTF/ArenaCTF), only teammates can hear the speaker. When in a non-team game, all players can hear the speaker.
* Added sorting functionality for the Multiplayer Friends List.
* Added a forcemodel option. Typing one of the three commands below and using tab complete will bring up a list of usable models for that command:
o g_forceModel forces all players displayed on the client machine to one of the models listed below, in non-team gameplay modes. The available models are:
+ model_player_failed_transfer
+ model_player_slimy_transfer
+ model_player_corpse
+ model_player_marine_tech
+ model_player_tactical_elite
+ model_player_tactical_command
o g_forceMarineModel will force all Marine players displayed on the client machine to one of the models listed below, in team gameplay modes. The available models are:
+ model_player_marine
+ model_player_marine_morris
+ model_player_marine_voss
+ model_player_marine_cortez
+ model_player_marine_helmeted
+ model_player_marine_medic
+ model_player_marine_officer
+ model_player_marine_fatigues
o g_forceStroggModel will force all Strogg players displayed on the client machine to one of the models listed below, in team gameplay modes. The available models are:
+ model_player_tactical_transfer
+ model_player_kane_strogg
* Variables for private clients have been implemented. All of these options must be set from the console or in config scripts:
o si_privatePlayers: This is the number of private player slots reserved on the server. It subtracts from si_maxPlayers, so a server with si_maxPlayers 16 and 4 private player slots will only allow 12 public players to connect.
o g_privatePassword: This is the server-side password setting.
o privatePassword: This is the client password used to access a server's private player slots. This must be set from the console.
* Added a voting option to shuffle teams.
* Added a one-minute warning for tournament matches.
* Added a server-side console variable that will allow enabling or disabling of voting options. si_voteFlags (which defaults to 0, meaning nothing disabled) is the variable, and it uses a bit mask system:
o bit 0 (+1) restart map
o bit 1 (+2) min players
o bit 2 (+4) auto balance teams
o bit 3 (+8) shuffle teams
o bit 4 (+16) kick player
o bit 5 (+32) change map
o bit 6 (+64) change gametype
o bit 7 (+128) time limit
o bit 8 (+256) tourney round limit
o bit 9 (+512) capture limit
o bit 10 (+1024) frag limit

* Sum the total of the parenthetical numbers for each of the vote options you want to disable. For example, to disable voting on "kick player," "change gametype," and "frag limit," add the numbers: 16, 64, and 1024 (total of 1104), and set on the server: si_voteFlags 1104. Please note that any changes will not take effect until after a map restart, and anyone viewing the voting options during that transitory phase will not see the changes unless they back out to the game and then enter the shell again.

* When aiming at a teammate in a team game, their health and armor level shows under their name.
* When spectating and following, viewing the MP Statistics (default key 'Z') now shows the stats of whoever you are following.
* The Game Browser now has scroll bar arrows to scroll through one server at a time.
* Players will be notified when teams are rebalanced.
* There is a new system by which players may anonymously report their usage statistics to the developers, such as type of video card, amount of system RAM, the presence of a DVD drive, etc. After installing the 1.1 patch, the first time the game starts, a confirmation window will appear. At this point, the player may choose to enable anonymous usage statistic reporting. Alternately, this may be set ahead of time with a cvar, net_reportUsageStatistics.
* Added a "simple items" cvar so that item pickups will appear as icon representations instead of the actual model. Use g_simpleitems 1/0 to enable and disable. This is only available in the console.

* Spectators will no longer be counted as "on a team" for auto-balancing purposes.
* The CTF "Defense" award has been adjusted to provide the achievement within a larger radius from any team flag and enemy flags carried by a teammate.
* Improved Gametype selections to properly display the appropriate map types in the map selection pane of the Create Server menu.
* Adjusted the text "You are not ready" when ready mode is enabled so that it is more obvious to players.

Known Issues:
Surround Speakers option in Advanced Audio settings cannot be enabled if Windows Sound options are not set correctly on the local machine. Players with 5.1 surround sound must set their Advanced Speaker Settings to Surround 5.1 instead of Desktop Stereo:
1. From the Windows(r) Control Panel, select "Sounds and Audio Devices."
2. In the "Speaker Settings" area, click the "Advanced" button.
3. Make sure that the speakers are set to "5.1 Surround" or "Surround 5.1" instead of "Desktop Stereo."
If this is not set correctly, then enabling the Surround Speakers setting will not apply, and will default back to off.
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:
o Favorite Server: Display only favorites, or only non-favorites.
o Password Enabled: Display only locked server, or only unlocked servers.
o Dedicated Server: Display only Dedicated servers, or only Listen servers.
o Punkbuster Enabled: Display only PB-enabled servers, or only PB-disabled servers.
o Server Name: Sort server names A to Z, or Z to A.
o Ping: Sort by ping Low to High, or High to Low.
o Players: Sort by Players High to Low, High to Low (non-full), Low to High, or Low to High (non-empty).
o Gametype: Sort by Deathmatch, Team DM, Tournament, CTF, or Arena CTF.
o Map: Sort by map CTF1 to DM9, or DM9 to CTF1.
