1.50 beta any good?

[j1minator]

Hi: Has anyone used the 1.50 beta? I remember that there used to be a server running it. Supposedly the netcode is supposed to be a lot better. With all of the complaints I would think that this would be a good solution. I am a little surprised that they didn't get this into the gold edition...

--------------------

*full hardware 3D sound (with EAX) with support for dolby surround 5.1
*optimized rendering (5-20% faster)
*support for occlusion culling
*major improvements to skeletal animations (seen in updated tech-test level)
*support for hardware vertex & pixel shaders (seen in updated tech-test level)
*Parhelia triple-head support (support for three monitors)
*detection of newer graphic cards (ATI Radeon 9700/pro, ATI Radeon 9500/pro, ATI Radeon 9000/pro, NV GeForceFX, Matorx Parhelia, SiS Xabre 600/400/200)
*no more syncbads in multiplay

The 1.50 beta is completely unplayable. IMO

All that improved with the 1.50 patch was the sounds, lag was worse than ever, players would disapear into the floor partially, and on and on.
