           Summary: Com_GameRestart() occuring without being required on
                    old ioq3 source <-> new client
           Product: ioquake3
           Version: SVN HEAD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Misc
        AssignedTo: zakk at icculus.org
        ReportedBy: arxeio at gmail.com
         QAContact: quake3-bugzilla at icculus.org


Something is quirky in the compatibility of the engine between 2007 ioq3 source
servers and a client compiled now:

Apparently fs_gamedirvar->modified is considered to be true in
FS_ConditionalRestart (while in single-gamer it isn't) when playing on ~2007
ioq3 source servers and as a result the configs (including) autoexec are
re-read without having to.

This is not a disaster but it has some irritating effects such as re-setting
fullscreen and reloading a map if an autoexec has such settings without needing
to go through that process and most importantly without the user wanting it to.
