I noticed that a lot of the time I find myself suggesting to people to run a different build of the engine in case an issue is resolved. An ideal test would be to run a recent ioquake3 version; but it needs additional options to run without baseq3 and it's usually a hassle to install.

This zip has an executable and the DLLs required to be just placed in urt's folder:

ioquake3-urt.zip

The source (based on current ioquake3 SVN) has been modified only to work directly with q3ut4 in a standalone fashion.

It's built with default optimizations (on gcc 4.4.0), without additional features such as VoIP or CPU-specific optimizations. It does include auto-downloading and OpenAL support (which can be enabled with /s_useopenal 1 and disabled with 0).

q3config.cfg and other user created files are located in %appdata%Quake3q3ut4

Linux and other platforms' support can be derived from the source.

Cool fate swarm!

It was extremely easy to make, it wasn't such an achievement.

But I hope it may help with some problems.

[QA Slackin]

Well, I didn't say it was impressive or anything, I just said it was cool, as in it was cool you spent a couple minutes to build this for people to use if nessicary, maybe this should go over on "client support forums"

it's a bit irritating having to write +set com_standalone 1 +set fs_game q3ut4 in various places if you never play other mods.

[QA Slackin]

Yea I know, but I do play q3 once in a blue moon myself, but yes, for the purpose of this game, I think its cool you made the modified build.

What does it exactly do/change  if you launch the game with this io-quake instead of the "normal" iourt.exe for a "standar" player?

[QA Slackin]

There are some different "behind the scence" workings, they are basicly the same but some minor differences that could maybe help someone if they are having a crash/bug related problem.

yeah, it's basically based on the source of ioquake3 from now, ioUrt from the source of ioquake3 from 2007. It is also compiled on gcc 4.4.0, the latest version. (The optimizations are default and the gcc itself has been compiled with only -O (very basic optimizations)).

dude u rock I used this last night, and was finally able to get 125 solid fps on abbey and such very sweet!

It has fixed a problem of mine too. I'm getting (with ioUrT, basic q3, ikalizer) periodically, gaps on the lower line of the lag meter because I get brief freezes of rendering. It is very irritating since at that time you can't move, you can't do anything. It may be quite low-level related since I saw it in linux too. (perhaps something in the way the video hardware works or something data transference-related on the system.)

Well GL&HF, sounds pretty tuff to me. I'm sure u tried all the simple things like updating drivers or rolling back to old ones?

[mitsubishi]

Yes and it even happens on linux.

[QA Delirium]

I had the same problem as fate with the audio engine and now its fixed!
