Prey 1.1 Patch Released

8

As expected, the first Prey patch has been released updating Human Head's first person shooter to version 1.1. The patch is for boxed copy owners only, people who downloaded the game through Triton will get an update through that service. Here's the changelog

* Multiplayer bandwidth optimization to allow better play on higher latency connections * Fixed projectile effects not showing up on dedicated servers * Fixed crash at startup due to time/date validation on some systems * Fixed crash at startup due to querying old OpenAL drivers * 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 prey 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 * Bumped network protocol version. Unpatched games will not be able to play online with patched games.

    It'll be interesting to see how fast Triton users (such as me) get the patch. I'm hoping it'll be an almost-simultaneous release.

      Yeah because if they handle it like Oblivion (is the Direct2Drive version patched yet?) then it will spell doom for non-Steam services

      I was informed by the Triton people that their version of the update was live about a minute or two before I posted the link on the 3D Realms site. :)

      When you click play game it will say there is an update, click yes (or whatever it is) to download and 20 seconds later you're updated.
