Small QuakeWars Client Update Coming!

Sounds like they are trying to accommodate some of the changes for bugs/errors that have made it a disappointing game so far:
The Public Beta client build was made several weeks ago and since then, there have been over 1000 changes made to the game in source code and art assets, with significant improvements to game mechanics, maps, user interface, hit prediction and detection, and audio, just to name a few areas. Some of these aren?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t quite ready for prime time yet, but we?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re hoping to bring you a major update later in the Public Beta process.
In the meantime, we?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re getting ready to roll out a smaller update to test a feature of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars that we haven?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t really talked about much: the in-game auto updater. When the update is released, you will be able to simply start up the game and it will automatically query the update server and grab the necessary files. This update is scheduled to go out next week and there?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ll be an announcement on this site as soon as it hits the tubes of the internet, so keep an eye out for that.
Coming in this new release:
Bots, Bots, Bots
The most significant addition is that the bots are now activated.
Improved Prediction
One of the most talked about items on the beta forums is that aiming is quite difficult at times due to the way player and latency prediction are handled in this particular revision of the beta. You?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re seeing this because our antilag features haven?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t been added to the public beta yet…
Server Browser Fixes
We?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve got two pretty significant server browser fixes in this update…
Server Memory Leaks
We?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve plugged a number of memory leaks in the server code
Hopefully this will mean that the game might develop into something that can hold us over until we get something with more realism to it. That’s been one of my biggest dissappointments – the ‘clunkiness’ of the vehicles and overall structural models within the game. It’s too ‘Unreal Tournament’ in many ways.
