Prey v1.1 PC Patch Released - Page 2

ShadeEX · 08-30-2006, 11:51 AM

Applying the patch now..

bummerman · 08-30-2006, 12:01 PM

kept the fast weapon switching, might have modified the straffe jump a wee tad, other than that,don't notice much change; haven't been on a server with high ping yet

Orochi Avlis · 08-30-2006, 12:25 PM

Then if you haven't been on a high ping server must be a good thing then.

So is the acidgun/rocket launcher exploit fixed?

TerminX · 08-30-2006, 12:26 PM

I found a bug in the 1.1 patch installer in which the installer won't allow you to easily change the installation directory. To reproduce, click the "Change..." button in the installer to change the directory, then alt+tab or otherwise cause the window to lose focus. When you attempt to re-focus the window, it will automatically lose focus for no obvious reason about a second after focusing it. The only way to get the window to behave correctly again is to completely cancel the installation and to restart the patch setup.

yes,basically you can shoot a rocket switch to acid and switch back and the speed is the same as if you hadn't switched away from the RL
I think one fix was that playability is better when you have "high" ping;I just said that I haven't been on a server with high ping yet. The 1st ones up were all "in my backyard"...all the HH servers,I avg. 25 ping on

I was able to reproduce this, but it went away after I hit cancel on that dialog and then hit Change again without restarting the installer. Does it keep happening to you when you do that?

D3 had custom maps already for the demo. Prey has been out for a while now...

Yeah, it keeps happening to me when I do that. It's probably not too serious of a problem, but I figured I'd mention it because it could be a real pain in the ass for people like me who moved the game dir after running into the issue in 1.0 where the game would crash at startup depending on where in your HD's directory structure you had the game.

Doom 3 has been out 2 yrs and is woefully lacking in custom map availability with no custom maps being on par with the original 5 game mp maps. There have been some tourney maps made with very good gameplay but the quality is way below original maps

Nice patch!

08-30-2006, 04:30 PM

ok i downloaded the new patch, and now my framerate is horrible, what should I do? It was perfectly compatible before I installed the patch, any recommendations?

Yeah, indiana

I tried in a low ping server , and i get a low fps nontheless

NutWrench · 08-30-2006, 05:14 PM

Cool. It works for me. My issue was the game not running unless it was installed on a different drive. I'm able to run Prey on my C: drive, now. Thanks, Human Head.

Orochi Avlis · 08-30-2006, 06:15 PM

I noticed a slight hit in FPS, but it could just be me.

bummerman · 08-30-2006, 07:37 PM

I think this,"Fixed projectile effects not showing up on dedicated servers", adds information to the game possibly lowering fps when firing weapons

08-30-2006, 08:41 PM

YES! Thankyou for releasing this patch.

Why? Because I couldn't play on my Widescreen HDTV!!! (PC Version.)

Why would you guys release a game that let me select the 16:9 aspect ratio option.. But not any 16:9 resolutions!?!? That confused me so much!

But now... I'm playing the entire game over again on my glorious 27" widescreen TV and it looks FANTASTIC!

Thanks!

08-30-2006, 10:54 PM

I'm not sure on how they have 'fixed' the multiplayer weapons?

You can still quick-switch the weapons, the difference is now you just can't spam rocket after rocket. It is still possible to fire a rocket and swap instantly to shotgun for the finishing shot. Or to fire a fully loaded Acid Canister shot after shot.

Adabiviak · 08-31-2006, 12:37 AM

Thanks!

don_vercetti · 08-31-2006, 08:44 AM

Just got the patch, was going to test it but there is a grand total of TWO people playing MultiPrey right now. A server is not much fun when there are just two people playing on it, tbh.

bummerman · 08-31-2006, 11:49 AM

I don't expect to see any new players added because of the patch, it's too subtle, hang in there till the "new content comes out

Sebastian · 08-31-2006, 12:19 PM

New Multiplayer maps

?

KamisoriX · 08-31-2006, 12:22 PM

LOL, 3 servers left with players left on my end

prey fan · 08-31-2006, 06:33 PM

too many lags but its cool but i hate "the patch will not have maps or skins"
to me this is nothing i want the REAL PATCH WILL MAPS,SKINS but this is a good patch other than that

That's the "new content" that's coming. And that takes more time than the patch. They wanted a patch out already and not have people wait longer for it. New content needs lots of playtesting and map balancing.

09-01-2006, 05:59 AM

Well, I updated the server and the client, and now I'm getting this error..

PunkBuster Server: Received Download File: htm/wc001246.htm
PunkBuster Server: ERROR: Security Mismatch (A)
PunkBuster Server: Error #5B76A Making DLL wc001246
PunkBuster Server: Download Request for htm/wc001246.htm Sent to (PREY2.EVENBALANCE.COM) 82.133.85.67

is the error on the server,

Unknown Windows API Function [131144]
client 0 You have been kicked via PunkBuster (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Unknown Windows API Function [131144]

Is the error on the client.

Just a warning to back up before you patch... Guess you can roll it back if it doesn't work, so long as you still have the origional dedicated server binaries.

That's what I did.

MauriceM · 09-05-2006, 09:49 AM

MultiPrey is still broken for me after the patch. No servers show.

TI's not like you missed anything or anyone in PREYs matter

midnitdragoon · 09-06-2006, 01:47 PM

i too upgraded to this version and my fps got a big hit...also i am lagging more than ever.
