What’s New with Prey?

The answer is a whole lot. George Broussard of 3DRealm’s first has posted in Prey’s community chat forum that Humanhead and Venom are both currently working on a patch for their own platforms, dealing with various bug and crash fixes, but mostly multiplayer exploits and lag issues. The PC patch is already being tested and could possibly be released soon.

Downloadable content for both platforms will include four new maps and six new characters. The list of changes from HumanHead is provided below.

Here is the (not final) list of changes:

• 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 time demo 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

Six new player characters:

• 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
