New Brink PC Update: Stopwatch Tweaks, MOTD, and more


(.FROST.) #81

[QUOTE=phila_delphia;359352]I`ve got this too… All maps a regular but 2nd stage “Resort” (blow up the bridge, escort the bot…) is realy dark around the comand post…

Even though: I cant say, that I dont like it. In fact it looks pretty cool - as if the lights had gone out in consequence of the explotion of the pillar :D[/QUOTE]

Just wanted to make a post of this phenomenom myself. The Sec spawn is probably the darkest area in the whole game. I feared the update "F"ed up this area by accident, but since all of you guys experiencing it it has to be intentional from SD. But why? Why this particular area? I mean it looks actually cooler and one of the reasons why I bought Brink was, that I wanted a dark shooter. Since I’m more the tech-noir guy. But why didn’t they tone down other areas as well? And why has it to be sooo dark?

[QUOTE=*goo;358117]Absolutely not true. Any changes that aren’t PC specific should make it into the console updates when they arrive.

Speak to Sony/Microsoft on their policies on how they handle patches.[/QUOTE]

First and foremost your calling people on things yourself and acting if you know that for a fact. Im not here to argue but dont tell him its not true when PC has received about 3 updates since we got our first on console. And We know its easier to send out on pc.

But the fact is PC is getting better support and ms/sony may be responsible for why we havent got the updates yet but i am just hoping we get all the updates and dlc at one. Seems unlikely tho if they sent the dlc in with an update and still sending updates out for pc…We may just get 1 update and dlc if its in submission already…sucks

i think they will do all in one for consoles. most devs release PC tweaks first as its easier to fix a problem if it happens. for instance the latest PC patch has screwed up:

lighting
op disguise
sound (again)
invisible enemies (again)

imagine if you got that then needed a month for sony/ms to allow a fix?

its not our fault that MS drag their heels to make them feel important

If anyone wondered what the main platform they made this game for was…its PC.

The console versions are horrendous. Not even a lobby for consoles.

[QUOTE=*goo;358127]What relevance does this have to the conversation? Honestly, it feels like you’re trying to create a problem in order to call people out once you get the response you’re looking for.

The simple fact is, Sony and Microsoft need to certify updates on their systems before they can go live. It’s easier to deploy onto PC as this restriction doesn’t exist. That’s really all there is to it.

Happy to help.

P.S. I play on PC, too.[/QUOTE]

1+ Rep up for keeping your cool :cool:

What I’m saying is PC has received more updates because it’s easier to get them out to the PC audience. That’s all.

Just because ‘more’ is happening at the moment, doesn’t mean PC is getting ‘better’ treatment. There are more hurdles for Splash Damage to jump through with the consoles.

If everyone knows it’s easier to deploy on PC, what’s with all the hysteria? You’re saying it ‘sucks’ without actually knowing what changes are planned for the console update(s).

You’re right, there may only be one update for X360 and PS3. But. That does not mean all changes that are in PC’s 3 patches won’t be rolled together and delivered as one. The consoles may well lag (heh) behind in updating as a result of the approval process but Splash Damage hasn’t told us much on that point.

For all we know, every update for PC has already been put together for X360/PS3 and the patch just needs to be approved. Once the patch notes appear, we’ll definitely know better.

To be absolutely clear. I’ve got it on PC and PS3. I want to see the PS3 version patched as soon as possible just like everyone else. Without patch notes and a solid release date certified by Sony and Microsoft, all we can do is wait.

Complaining that Splash Damage are being better to customer A and ignoring customers B and C with their updates is a tad overkill at this point.

[QUOTE=yuval152;358112]DAMMIT,again the PC is getting better privileges than console

[/QUOTE]

The PC’s have been getting dicked over for years as a result of all those that need noobsticks to play. Do you think that just because Brink is a poor excuse of a console port, that consoles should get some preferential treatment as a result?

No reason to be hostile towards console gamers. I play on the console, but I respect PC players by letting them enjoy their platform of choice.

He gave one.

They have done a good job of supporting consoles so far. (We got a few defensive respawn tweaks weeks before PC did. Specifically the 30 second respawn during part of Container City.)

I expect the new defensive respawns changes to come eventually, but most likely not in the dlc update.

I will never complain about developer support until the developers go silent. As long as developers are still releasing updates…talking about releasing updates…etc… then I remain optimistic and patient.

That’s got to be the worst HUD pic so far :smiley:

I think it’s time for a thread who can show the most cluttered HUD?

Yeah, the same here too… to sad that these old bugs are still inside… inv players and breaking sound is soooo annoying. Please fix the Engine BUGS first/before tweak the game…:frowning:


(Crytiqal) #94

Wait… euh… WHAT??

So the soundbug and the invisible player bugs have returned??
(Srry, haven’t been playing cause waiting for patch/DLC)

I personally have not seen it since the new patch.

Only seen it once previously on Ship yard map (it was not just me, I think just about everyone complained about the sound popping and loss in that round and one of my engineer team mates on the Resistance side was invisible - to me at least. I can’t remember anyone else being unable to see them.)

Weird.
