Prey


If you've been experiencing some lag issues while playing Prey, 3DRealms have some very good news for you. They've recently released a patch to rid you of all your troubles. However, this is only a tech patch, "new content" isn't included on this one.

After some 3D Realms forum members started a thread on the update they were being asked to perform after turning on the their Prey tray, the forums webmaster was quick to set the records straight with information straight from Venom. Here's what the latest patch is all about.

After chatting with a couple of the guys from Venom, here's a list of what was fixed in the Prey patch released the other day. Please note that since the 360 version was released, the code paths have been brached, so this is not an indicator of what might be fixed in the forthcoming PC patch.

1. A number of small (mainly sound) issues which were fixed in the week or so after the released 360 version was submitted.
2. Load/Save Ambient Music disappearing
3. Centurion Gun sound problem
4. Crawler Defaulting
5. Texture Corruption
6. 16:9 hud fixes
7. Quit out of ranked match early exploit fix
8. Improved Match searches
9. Multiplayer lag issues. From Venom on the issue: "We have dropped the requirment as much as physically possible without a complete rewrite... this enabled us to host 6 players on a 256k upstream (whereas before we could only host 2-3)".

But remember, even with this fix, if you have bad upload bandwith on your system, it will cause issues. The game code can only compensate so much, there is a point where conditions may impact performance.

You can grab the patch now over at the Xbox Live Marketplace.

WTF, you don't "grab the patch on the XBLM" it automatically downloads to your console when you boot the game up. So maybe next time, say something like "You can go enjoy the new patch the next time you boot up Prey" or whatever. Please try and keep your facts straight.

Im sorry but beside Halo 2 the majority of xboxlive games suck. $50 a year for online and I have to wait like two months for a stupid patch to fix problems for a $60 game that should have been solid from the first place. This game was so laggy sometimes it was unplayable. Id pop in Halo 2, and beautiful, no lag. What the hell is this garbage. Far Cry on 360 had the same crap. Come on developers or Microsoft or whoever offer me online gameplay that matches what you charge for it.
