Go get it as a package for your system, or a source zip file/tarball. Check out your options for help if you run into a problem. If you find any bugs, please search bugzilla, and then report them!
Here is what you can do with ioquake3:

Have a look at the list of improvements that have gone into this release:

quality. Especially on the Windows Vista Operating System. - Ogg Vorbis audio decoding.
- In-engine VOIP support, with optional Mumble player-location (positional audio) support.
- IPV6 Networking. We’re ready to frag on the net of the future!

Sweet!!! How do I get mumble working in Urban Terror? I’d love to only hear my clan when they are near enough to be of use, and from what direction they are coming from! AWESOME WORK!

Great ! I upgraded from 1.34 to 1.36 on my old Athlon XP and my fps in timedemo jumped from 244 to 305. I guess that’s because of OpenAL (my sound card is supposed to have hardware OpenAL support). Good work.

How many forks of Quake3 are there? It would be nice if all the engine forks could be consolidated into one really flexible engine released often that all the games could use. This would make Debian and the other Linux distros very happy.

So you made it!
Happiness fills me now
I want to say:
Thank you

I want to know something before I download IoQuake3: This Engine modifies Quake 3 Arena/Team arena?
It looks like original Quake 3?
I just know it fixing bugs for servers, and makes better! I want to be exactly like Quake 3!
But command for mods +set fs_game works? or i must acces from mods menu? I go to download later with my PC because on my laptop I have bad connection!
