Si vous vous sentez l'âme d'un aventurier, sachez que Splash Damage vient de mettre en ligne le patch 1.5 Bêta pour son FPS multijoueur Enemy Territory : Quake Wars. Alors bien-sûr, étant donné le statut Bêta de la mise à jour en question, le développeur décline toute responsabilité si votre jeu ou vous-même trouviez la mort après l'installation dudit patch.À noter que les utilisateurs anglais qui ont déjà installé la version Bêta du Service Pack 3 de Windows XP ne pourront pas lancer le jeu. C'est con, mais c'est comme ça.
Cependant, sachez que ce patch propose une floppée de corrections, avec par exemple l'amélioration de l'IA des bots, ou encore la sauvegarde des points d'expérience qui ne fonctionnait pas tout le temps après une reconnection à un serveur. Désormais, ce point est rustiné et oublié.
