I was online with Quake the other day and I joined a server and mentioned how I wish more people would play this game online.
The person replied "Its because everybody on pc is playing a newer version of quake.If thats true man thats a bummer.And if its true would there be any way for us Dcers to download this newer version and play with all those people? |

There is no way to upgrade the DC version to the latest point release for the PC. The PC users can downgrade to play with DC users, but that is usually looked down upon since the PC has unfair advantages, namely framerate/resolution and broadband (if you have it).

I recently started getting into it again. My connection is bad, but I play. | |||

Man thats a bummer. Even if PC players have a unfair advantage I would still be nice to have more people to play with during the day it seems like you have a pretty low chance to find full/almost full full servers during the day. | |||

If you want to play Quake 3 Online, during the day, against PC players, with lots of people....then just go play the PC version of Q3. Kudou-Yusaku wrote:

PC players do have a unfair advantage. i dont understand it much though. My friend and I were playing I was on my DC with BBA. and he was on his PC with broadband. He owned me, we would both be shooting eackhother and its like I didnt even do damage. It is crazy. My two friends and I will be getting on alot again once one of em moves for college. He will have a new Broadband connectin there so hopefully his BBA will work right with quake 3 arena. | |||

| Ummm yes pc players do have numerous advantages. But skill overcomes speed of your connection on quake3 arena in my opinion. If i was at top notch form and back in the flow of quake 3 like i use to be a couple of years ago i would beat the you kno what out of a pc player with broadband and me on dc and bba. | ||||

I'm not gonna buy the pc version of quake 3 probably ever.I enjoy the dc version. | |||

I bought QIIIA for the PC, but I'm not touching the DC servers except when I'm on my DC! I'm gonna have fun with the hundreds of PC mods though! When I get my new stable computer hopefully I will set up a server and all that jazz. BTW, I have occasionally seen servers where the listing of players says 2/6 or sometimes even 8! Is my DC displaying wrong or are the server's lying? | |||

Awsome, yea plus since John Carmack and id software are releasing the PC source code, its going to blow Quake 3 engine development and mods wide open 
Yes it is possible to see any 1.16n server build in the master list. However the DC can only join / play in a server that has 4 players in it, bots included. So if you are playing in a game with 4 / 6 players playing....then a 5th person joins, you will be dropped out of the game. |

Even though you don't have ebay, almost every gamestore that stocks Dreamcast has a copy of QIIIA, it was one of the most produced games through Dreamcast's lifespan. If you have any Gamecrazy's around, it's likely that they have a copy as well. | |||
