Fileplanet has it , cllick here

Also when you log onto QW, it will promt you to download the patch. So you can download it ingame as an option.

EDIT
the link in the 1st post in this thread has a growing list of mirrors

Steevo · 10-30-2007, 04:04 PM

When will our server be ready?

**VegaBond** · 10-30-2007, 04:55 PM

So VOIP is now ingame? I might be interested

Mugzy · 10-30-2007, 06:39 PM

Not looking good. Lots of people talking about crashing all the time after the patch. Also some talking about the FPS going from 50-60 to ~20.

Anyone here try it yet? I am still at work.

- Reduced damage distance falloff start point to 25% of weapon range for the Sniper Rifle and Railgun.
- Valley: raised flight ceiling to allow aircraft to navigate more of the map.
-Roughly 1/4 drop in all class requirements for unlocks

I really like these

sc1ence · 10-30-2007, 07:35 PM

We are still working on updating our server to 1.2. We are in the update que of the GSP. No definite time frame on when we will be updated . When I know, I will post.

sc1ence · 10-30-2007, 07:51 PM

Server is patched and live. go forth and seed it.

I have no issues related to the patch (yet).

Bc2ID · 10-30-2007, 08:07 PM

excellent!

**Exploding_Silver** · 10-30-2007, 08:10 PM

I have found VOIP to be nice and clear

There are 3 VOIP channels (1) Global [default is muted] (2) Your team (3) Your fireteam [assuming you have joined one]

There's a useful setting to decide how much game sounds fade in volume when someone talks

Make sure you set up VOIP by (1) setting your sound card to the output device (2) setting key binds to the VOIP channels

**RGM-79N_GM_CUstom** · 10-30-2007, 09:19 PM

Ya I am noticing a drop in preformance.

A big one. I used to be able to run the game 1600by1200 on most maps now I can't run any of the maps I have played so far at 1280by1024.

bobjones · 10-30-2007, 10:22 PM

ugh...my FPS were never far from 60 before patch...never far from 30 now.

edit
I even changed all my settings from high to low...they still only get to around 45.

Mugzy · 10-30-2007, 10:25 PM

One person said that rebooting fixed his fps issue.

sc1ence · 10-30-2007, 10:33 PM

I don't really notice much, other than things seemed a bit smoother when lots of people were around. I felt my gun was a bit more accurate. The headshot sounds really help in training my aim.

VOIP is just huge. I had a great game with 4 TG on one side and the game finally felt like home to me. Guys giving status reports, coordinating defense and generally working together. Just having a guy say, "ya, ill back you up" is a huge boost.
