Prey v1.3 PC Patch Released

Joe Siegler · 02-14-2007, 02:11 PM

Here's a quick note to let everyone know that we've released a new patch for Prey, v1.3. It's available now, and here's a summary of what's changed in this new update from the readme:

Prey v1.3 Readme

This update includes compatibility files for the Mac port of Prey (meaning PC users can play against Mac users and vice versa).
There are no bug fixes or new content in this release.
This release is backwards compatible with Prey 1.2 multiplayer.
There are new server files available. Windows versions come with the patch, Linux versions are available separately.
In order for a Mac user to play on a PC pure server, the server they are on must have the v1.3 server files.

In short, the only thing changed in this patch is that PC players can now play against Mac players, although the PC side has to be running v1.3 to do this. Additionally, the dedicated server files need to be at the v1.3 revision for Mac users to "see" a PC server.

Unlike the last patch, PC v1.2 users can play PC v1.3 servers. If your existing copy of Prey works, and playing against Macintosh users is not a concern to you, then you do not need the upgrade. If you run a dedicated server, or you wish to see the widest number of available servers, though you should upgrade.

Click here to get to our Prey downloads page, which contains links where you can download the patch. Please note that this patch is only for the standalone PC game - If your copy of Prey was through Steam, do not use this patch, Steam users will be handled through that system. There is no update needed for the Macintosh version or the Xbox 360 versions, as these are unaffected by the changes in the v1.3 PC patch.

Nice

, though, not needed for me i think...

Joe Siegler · 02-14-2007, 02:43 PM

FYI, I launched it via Steam a minute ago, and was presented with a game update screen. So it looks like the patch is live on Steam, too.

Will there be a updated SDK?

Joe Siegler · 02-14-2007, 04:46 PM

I asked about that, was told it wasn't necessary.

Nukkus · 02-15-2007, 03:49 PM

does this version remove the disk check?

02-15-2007, 04:57 PM

I don't know if it does remove the disc check or not, but playing the game through steam does. Just download steam and register your cd key. No disc needed ever again.

I'm downloading it via steam right now.

No. If it did, I would have listed that in the readme. There really is nothing more than what I said in the press release.

Babe · 02-22-2007, 06:15 PM

I have still the retail version of Prey installed on my PC. I didnt update it in any ways. Should I update the game to say v 1.1 Patch, then 1.2 Patch and then to the present 1.3 Patch or can I update the game straight forward to update patch 1.3 ? If I update the game to 1.3 Patch straight forward from my Retail DVD installation, do I get all the stuuffs/fixes/addons that were in first two patches ?

TIA

Nacho · 02-23-2007, 08:36 PM

Anyone notice more people on multiprey since the patch? Curious.

KamisoriX · 02-26-2007, 12:38 AM

nope. it's as dead as a beaten rat

Yes, the 1.3 patch is all inclusive.

SpaceCow · 03-23-2007, 02:44 AM

Hi, I bought my game in a store, and installed the patch to see what was up with MultiPrey and what have you. Once I installed it the game started demanding I enter an "activation code" - I assume this is for the downloadable version of the game because it told me to go find it on my "download page".

Am I screwed?

Joe Siegler · 04-05-2007, 09:47 AM

No clue what you're talking about. The patch doesn't require a "code" to operate, but the game from your store box requires you to enter your CD-Key, but that's the game. NOT THE PATCH.

fast-1 · 10-19-2007, 05:48 PM

does patch 1.3 let all players see on the multiplayer screen in the game. What about with GameSpy Arcade. I get no servers showing up on the main lobby window.

Because no one is playing.

Damien_Azreal · 10-25-2007, 05:19 PM

Yeah, that isn't an issue with the game or server browser.

PREY multiplayer didn't stand well, it died almost instantly after the games release. Sadly, it was actually a lot of fun... and very VERY confusing at times.

fast-1 · 10-26-2007, 06:08 PM

I have played some on line games but they do not show up in game spy Arcade but they do in the multi player tab when launching through the game itself.
With the gravity switching it does get very difficult to see where your opponents are.
