[drupal=831]New Brink PC Update Brings End Game Chat and Lots More[/drupal]


A brand-new update is now available for the PC version of Brink, containing a huge stack of improvements and fixes. End game chat, a new Stopwatch results screen, VoIP sliders, a fix for invisible players, networking optimizations, and a massive amount of weapon tweaks are all among the things you’ll be getting in this one, and we’ve assembled the complete changelog for your perusal below. All you need to do to get the update is sign into Steam.
For the dedicated server admins among you, there’s a new server available, too, and it’s freshly optimized to cut the filesize down to a third. If you haven’t already, we recommend updating your server as soon as possible - as before, players with the new update will not be able to connect to servers running the old version of Brink.
With all that out of the way, here’s the full changelog for this update:

Yes! Thank you!

EDIT:

Carb-9 SMG damage slightly reduced
Carb-9 has even spread, instead of clustering towards the centre
Carb-9 recoil slightly increased
Carb-9 slightly less accurate

NO! My precious Fallout pre-order gun is getting nerfed!?!?

Now to go test these new weapon changes!! mwuahahaha. Shotties are going to be awesomeness!

Part of me misses the older days of ET where the MP40 and Thompson had the same accuracy and damage. That’s about all I got to complain about, though. I feel like there will always be an ‘optimal’ weapon, and there will always be people whining. It’s not as if the Carb-9 / Kross were weapons that weren’t available to all players to begin with (body-type notwithstanding).

Holy cow. You guys even managed to tweak the shotguns a little, so much so that you brought a tear to my eye. Gonna have to play around with the new update, see how things have changed. In advance though, I have to say thank you very much and I’m looking forward to the DLC news even more now. =)

Regards,
Nexo

Another patch with come with the dlc content no doubt.

(Crytiqal) #14

Wouldn’t know about that, but would be awesome if it included some minor additions, like a working server admin gui (instead of typing in the console, one can hope)

(RR2DO2) #15

Enabling cheats now disables character saving and stats reporting for that session

This basically means that devmap has been re-added, we just don’t allow any changes to your character to persist beyond the local game session.

(Crytiqal) #16

Would this be a step closer to a working demo function?

(wolfnemesis75) #17

Looks like somebody’s been busy, busy. Sometimes ya got to have faith!

(Rosie the Riveter) #18
