Action items for Patch 1.2:

1.) Add “Crouch Toggle” to the menu found under “Options”->“Controls” -> “Movement” section.

2.) Add proper code to properly shut down the game and return system resources to the OS when Alt-F4 shutdown is preformed.

Thanks it for now. Thanks and keep up the good work boys.

P.S. Why does the game chug more when you play online vs LAN or Computer?

  1. May be an issue for some people, no real word as to whether this is possible through scripting atm.

  2. Why do you shut down via Alt+F4? Can you not spare a couple of seconds of clicking?

As for the “chugging”…I suspect this is due to your ping to the server and therefore chose a server with better ping. If your “chugging” refers to framerate issues, you may want to thinking about upgrading. :wink:

real l33ts and h4x0rs allways use Alt F4 :slight_smile:

bind “f4” “quit” “alt” “default”

Has there ever been a game that had crouch as a toggle? Why even think it should be ‘expected’ in this game?

Seriously, console and type quit… how lazy can you get :confused:

For the record, you (only) need 4 key-taps to do just that:

[ul][li]"~" - for opening the console (granted you enabled com_allowConsole)
[/li][li]“q” - first character of “quit”
[/li][li]<TAB> - to auto-complete “q” to “quit”
[/li][li]<ENTER> - to quit, duh!
[/li][/ul]

I’m not sure what you mean by “chugging” and I honestly haven’t played offline before, but I think it’s a common issue.

My system is upper mid-range and runs the game very well, but every now and then it hits a “snag” and freezes for about half a second. Generally doesn’t happen very often but it’s noticable. I’ve seen a few posts about it on the community site so I think most people have this happening.

A related problem (for me, I’m not sure if everyone gets this one) is that I’ve had it freeze on me a couple of times before on that snag. Judging by the sounds, the game is still running and my controls still respond, but the screen image is frozen on the frame that it snagged on, forcing me to ctrl-alt-delete out. Pretty rare but quite annoying if it does happen.

Well if we’re talking about QW then you need “alt + ctrl + ~” to open the console…

So 6 key-taps, 3 of which need to be at the same time :smiley:

As I said, truly lazy bums who are acting smart (me included) enable com_allowConsole so you can use “~” to open the console. :smiley:

More info on Modwiki: com_allowConsole.

Please note: if you want any feedback to be tracked, it needs to be posted in the feedback forum on the ETQW community site, rather than the SD forums.


(kamikazee) #11

You still watch these forums, I hope? :?


(Bongoboy) #12

Yes, but when we have our ETQW Feedback Hats on, we’re looking at the actual official game site forums. SD stuff goes here, ETQW stuff goes there. Less soup is spilled that way.
