- vQuake byte ordering: There was a serious bug in the handler for V_FIFO_MEM_WRITER_RECT, leading to texture corruption.
- Includes previous fixes.

This is an untested release. It will be tested sometime next week and pushed out to the store.

I'll post a video later about the byte ordering later.

[EDIT] If you get AV warnings from Windows Defender, I suggest as many people as possible report it to Microsoft here:

This is getting very tiresome.

vQuake: Dissolution of Eternity

r_surfacelookup must be set to "0", just like for vQuake. This is a bug with the Dosbox/RReady and will be fixed.

The quake.rc file contained in the pak file has an incompatibility with Dosbox/RReady. Adding a text file with name quake.rc with the text listed below will fix it for now:

Code: Select all

// load the base configuration
exec default.cfg
// load the last saved configuration
exec config.cfg
// run a user script file if present
exec autoexec.cfg
// stuff command line statements
stuffcmds
// start demos if not allready running a server
startdemos demo1 demo2 demo3

The textual description has details (at the bottom for Quake 2 and Hexen II) on how to set things up. It's very painful to make these videos, takes up a lot of time, but I'll try and post videos for Quake 2 and Hexen II.
