No not a beta an alpha, it was meant for the hardware manufactures to test drivers and tweak thier settings for the game engine. And some fool let it out into the public.

ID software is mad as hell (and I don't blame them) and some heads are going to roll over this.

Like I said I didn't bother with it because I can wait for a polished demo when Carmack and his team are ready.

And from what I heard it runs at an amazing 3 FPS [img]tongue.gif[/img] unless you patch it..

And finally, that there is a patch out for a alpha is really sad IMHO.
