Q3 point release 1.25 broke demos!
Game Gurus! I tryed searching the forum for an answer to this, but I found nothing, so I submit this question: I installed Q3 Arena point release 1. 25, and now I can no longer perform a Demo of any kind! When I go to the Q3 console, I type in TIMEDEMO 1 to get speed-test mode, then I type DEMO DEMO001.

I installed Q3 Arena point release 1.25, and now I can no longer perform a Demo of any kind! When I go to the Q3 console, I type in "TIMEDEMO 1" to get speed-test mode, then I type "DEMO DEMO001.DM3" (or DEMO002.DM3)and press enter, instead of a time-demo running which reports the FPS, the game goes back to the main menu!
This did not occur with my previous 1.17 point release, and the DEMO function from the menu doesn't work either. re-installing the 1.17 point release does not help.
Otherwise the game runs perfectly.. and fast!
Am I doing something wrong here? I'd rather not completely re-install the game.
Any help is appreciated.

I think that you might have to reinstall the game. I dont think that id is going to use the 1.25 point release, I beleave that they are going to release something when the expansion pack comes out next week. There was a big uproar about the physics and the damage through the floor changes made in the patch.
all the physics and that r stuffed up with the 1.25 patch. what also makes me really pissed off is that when up[censored] to 1.25, quake3's graphics were HORRIBLE- the patch really stuffed the game for me on my computer.
I had the same problem. But i just read on www.quake3world.com that with the latest 1.25 patch, the old demos arn't compatible. Go here " http://members.home.net/timmythec/127demo1.zip" to get a demo similar to demo001 thatworks in 1.25
