With the official Quake3 point release now out a lot of people are asking where the packetloss indicator is that was mentioned in the .plan update from Graeme Devine a while back is. Packet loss is actually harder to messure in terms of impact in Quake3 because of the snapshot system.
Packet loss is reflected in the ping as well.
Which is not a promise, it just states that it's being looked at. Keep in mind a PL indicator would require a change to the network code in Quake3 in turn making the patch a required update. You can grab the file from Stomped , cdrom , 3dag , Blues , and of course here on the Shack server . Here is word from Robert Duffy over at id Software in his .plan update. Feel free to share your mirrors in the comments .
