  • In comparison with the original client over 1.500 bugs were fixed. TheYamagi Quake II client is very well tested and stable. The dedicatedserver is able to run for weeks without a single restart. Last but notleast the code is fully 64 bit clean and highly portable.

News

On 2020-10-17 Yamagi Quake II version 7.45 was released. Changesare:

  • Fix some input option not getting saved.
  • Limit busywaits to the full client. This lowers the cpu consumptionof q2ded considerably.
  • Rework the build system to be more distribution friendly. The baseCFLAGS and LDFLAGS can now be overridden by the environment and byoptions passed to make. (by Simon McVittie)
  • Fix some corner cases of broken IPv6 connectivity.
  • Fix qport colliding between several Yamagi Quake II clients.
  • Keyboard keys unknown to Yamagi Quake II can now be bound.
  • Adaptive vsync is now supported by setting r_vsync to 1.
  • Implement coop_pickup_weapons. When set to 1, a weapon may bepicked up by coop players if the player doesn`t have the weapon intheir inventory or no other player has already picked it up.
  • In coop elevators wait for coop_elevator_delay seconds.
  • If cl_anglekick is set 1 angle kicks are ignored. This breaksthe gameplay a little bit, but helps against motion sickness. Thiscvar is cheat protected.
  • Add listmaps command and autocompletion for maps. (by JBerg)
  • Make wait in scripts wait for 17 ms. This fixes some movementmakros.
  • Support for Haiku. (by David Carlier)
  • Add a mods submenu. (by earth-metal)
  • Add the vstr command and nextdemo cvar. Ported from ioquake3.(by Denis Pauk)
