## Please do not use Darkplaces :-(

Just when I started growing comfortable with Darkplaces and thought it would be fine to play with it, I discover yet another great gameplay fix. You can simply walk over the moving platforms on DM2. No more need to jump, there is no danger at all.

darkplaces_gameplayfix_dm2.avi (5 Megabytes, XviD and MP3 in AVI)

That is sv_gameplayfix_stepwhilejumping. It is 1 by default, because obviously it was a bug that you could fall into that lava pool and those platforms were only decoration.
Thanks to Sajt for mentioning this variable.

Edit: Wait, is it? I set it to 0 and I can still shamble over those platforms like a stroller on a sugar rush.

   Check your max fps settings and related gameplayfixes.

   I capped fps at 72. The description for this variable explicitely mentions the dm2 plats. Is behaviour not the same for you?

   I think this is maybe being a little harsh. Any such radical rewrite of Quake is *of course* going to have subtle – and not-so-subtle – bugs. Far more productive to report the bug to the relevant parties, together with steps to reproduce, details of your hardware, and a copy of your configs – you’d be surprised how many apparent bugs actually come from weird combinations of config settings – and request a fix. Shame on everyone for not reporting it earlier and lettings things get this far.

   JPL, mh – yeah, rather use VLC. Or even Media Player!
