Q3A Point Release Issue
idsoftware programmer Robert Duffy has warned in his .plan of an issue with the recent 1.29g full install:
if you download the full ( 25MB ) 1.29g install and apply it on top of 1.29f. The installer does not overwrite the existing baseq3pak6.pk3 and missionpackpak1.pk3. AUTO-UPDATE works just fine so if you have 1.29f it is best to do that anyway as the update is much smaller.
The installer also works fine on any version prior to 1.29f. Most people will have just ran [sic] auto-update but for those that cannot or don’t like auto-updaters can remove the above pak files before running it and it will work fine.
The game will still run and there is no word of what detriment, if any, there is to doing a full install.
