3d Realms announced today that it is working on a v1.1 patch for Prey that is soon to be released. The patch will fix a few bugs and add a few new additions to the game. Here is the list of changes, so far, for the new patch:
- 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
Venom is working on an Xbox 360 patch for Prey which will address the network lag issues on the 360 as well as fix several bugs there as well.
3d Realms also announced that they are working on new content for Prey. This includes four new multiplayer maps and six new player characters. The new maps will be much smaller than the currently available maps. This will allow much smaller game matches of 2-4 people, but can still support the maximum amount of players. The new characters include
four female characters: Jen, Elhuit, Mother, and Becky (the blond victim you see occasionally on slabs in the single player Prey) and two hunter characters: Hunter and Elite Hunter. This new content will also be available on the Xbox 360, but pricing has is still to be determined.
A release date for the new content and patch has not yet been determined.
