A new blog entry has been added:

ETQW 1.5 Status Update

Quote:

Just a quick update on where things are at with the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars 1.5 game update. We're currently doing some last minute testing with id Software to track down a few issues that have turned up, but we don't anticipate this to take too much time. We really just want to make sure that all the issues we're aware of are actually addressed rather than pushing out an update with a big asterisk and a list of It'll-break-if-you do-this-ers attached to it.
Distribution is being sorted out at the moment as well and if there are no further complications, we anticipate having the update out next week. We'll try and keep you as updated as possible from here on out, so as soon as we've got a definite release date, you'll read it here first.

Agreed AgeAzz, thanks for the update Badman

SD came out with the game, which was the only thing I personally busted a gut waiting for.
I'm playing this bastard 1.3, 1.4, WHATEVER.

I appreciate the ongoing work these folks are putting into the game.

It's the only video game I frakking play, seriously.
Before that ET was the only one.

So rock on.

Quotin this because I fully agree

whiteaden · 05-15-2008, 04:40 PM

thanks for the update.. I can('t) wait..

Seiniyta · 05-15-2008, 04:45 PM

Ah, when people aren't complaining at all then somethings wrong...

Nice job Bat-um Badman

Sainted · 05-15-2008, 04:46 PM

Can we get some news about the competition mod any time soonish, last time I heard it was going to be released alongside this patch, is that still valid?

Thanks for the heads up by the way.

badman · 05-15-2008, 05:01 PM

Competition Mod (and source) will be released shortly after 1.5 - same goes for the updated SDK.

Tempesta · 05-15-2008, 05:04 PM

Thanks very much for keeping us posted, Badman. I would much rather continue to wait for a fully-tested patch than receive a patch that was rushed to satisfy the whiners, which contained problems. You guys kick ass and I thank you.

hozz · 05-15-2008, 05:05 PM

"...NEXT WEEK..."

And you people are right, suspiciously no complaining in this thread...

m1rra · 05-15-2008, 05:11 PM

Next week, hmm we'll see. I don't really need the patch to be honest, still I'm thankful for it.

dazman76 · 05-15-2008, 05:15 PM

Sweetness!

I'm going to say... FINALLY! Not because I've been desperately waiting for 1.5 to appear, but because we can FINALLY see an end to these bloody "where is 1.5?" threads

GG SD, cheers for the update Badman

No need to. Keep it up SD!

@M1rra: I too have become so used to 1.4 that I don't really need 1.5 either...

cHiOs · 05-15-2008, 05:21 PM

Week, two or three it doesn't matter as long as we get a version that is stable and final.

Will 1.4 servers stay alive? And be able to auth? Since leagues cant switch without the new ETQWPro version...

M8DNanite · 05-15-2008, 05:45 PM

RR2DO said they use same auth database so you should do it.

JinxterX · 05-15-2008, 06:09 PM

Any chance of a Linux specific Changelog, please?

aleborg · 05-15-2008, 06:10 PM

oh the 1.5 is for real ? i thought it was a evil joke

*goo · 05-15-2008, 06:28 PM

Thanks for the update badman.

Look forward to next week.

Déjà vu?

SniperSteve · 05-15-2008, 06:36 PM

Sounds good!

I'm glad the update will be a bug fixer and not a bug creator..

brutt01d · 05-15-2008, 06:52 PM

Ok, Thanks SD!

people you will find are ok with delays as long as they are kept up to date

NIDCLXVI · 05-15-2008, 07:02 PM

I can't say I have any complaints, but hope to see more people online with their issues fixed! Which is good for us all, wether we had issues or not.

I am hoping for some nice improvements to the HUD and Vehicle DPI/Sens settings.

Also hope certain aesthetic issues are resolved, like tormentor/anansi sliding down the roads if there is even a 1% declination and the way flyers "stick" to trees and cables.

Cheers for the update!

Thanks for all the effort SD/Badman! Since this is my favourite game, knowing it is going to be improved (no more arty/apt warnings etc.) makes me have the "warm & fuzzies" which is what customer service is all about!
