Prey Patch for Xbox 360 and PC Coming Soon
Good news for all the Prey addicts: Human Head Studios, developer of the popular first-person shooter, is busy finishing the 1.1 patch that’s going to fix a bunch of multiplayer problems. The patch will be available for both platforms the game has been released on – Xbox 360 and the PC.
All the lag issues on Xbox Live, which is apparently on top of the priority list, will be solved. This is very good because it’s currently incredibly annoying to play online (at least, that’s my opinion).
Although the full change log isn’t ready yet, 3D Realms already gave out the following details:
* Fixed a crash at startup on some machines
* Fixed an occasional crash on the dedicated server
* Fixed a crash when using image_usecache cvar with very big textures. Textures whose lowest mip map doesn’t fit will be default texture.
* This was causing a crash when a modified prey was loading “Mother’s Embrace”.
* Fixed a crash on some machines when reading savegames.
* Some timedemo features not appearing if you restart between record/playback
* Added widescreen resolutions to menus
* Updated multiplayer browser to fix servers not showing up due to DNS resolution
* Updated multiplayer browser not keeping join button up to date when server summary wasn’t the active tab.
* Updated multiplayer browser so punkbuster icons show up in their column properly
* Updated multiplayer browser so mod games’ icons show up properly
* Updated multiplayer browser so server scanning is more consistent on slower connections
* Fixed multiplayer weapon exploit
There will also be some new content – four new maps that function well as 1v1 maps (which has been suggested by most fans) and six new player characters. 3D Realms details the new characters:Prey
* Four female characters: Jen, Elhuit, Mother, and Becky (the blond victim you see occasionally on slabs in the single player Prey)
* Two Hunter characters: Hunter and Elite Hunter”
As of yet, no date or price has been confirmed yet.
