999 noticed another issue with this version. Various items don't appear (stim paks, ammo, etc). Now that I researched it a little further, the rendering artifacts I was seeing are actually items that are rendered totally wrong. If you start a single player Quake game, and browse around the Welcome level, everything will render perfectly. If you start a multiplayer game and look around the same map, you will see visual problems, which are the items that are only there for multiplayer. I'll look into this tomorrow. I may quickly release a 0.51 to correct this if I can isolate the problem.<br><br>Dan East
