Q3 and 1.27h

I would just like to let you guys know that this new patch kicks a$$. Using the demo in 1. 27g, I would get 75. 4fps at 1024x768x32. Now, I get 95fps at the same settings. In addition, if I toggle the r_ext_compressed_textures cvar to 1, I go up to 106fps.

In addition, if I toggle the r_ext_compressed_textures cvar to "1", I go up to 106fps. Before, that cvar would cough up an extra frame or two, but not 11 more. I have a P3 800 with a GeForce 2 GTS Pro, and 256MB RAM. In addition, the mouse sensitivity is much smoother, though the online play seems a little choppier (that was just trying last night only, I will need more time with it).

teh patch is only about 600kb so dont worry, it was released due to invalid cd key reading when going from quake3 to team arena, a problem I came across..gRrRrR
