Splash Damage’s multiplayer FPS Brink has received its first update, with all versions of the game getting bug fixes and tweaks. Even the PS3 version has been updated, with the patch being downloadable despite PSN being down.
First up is the Xbox 360 title update, which has reduced texture loading times and improved client prediction when playing online – something Splash Damage claims will result in less ‘rubber-banding’ during play. Numerous game freezing bugs have also been resolved, and all the training videos no longer play when the game should just be showing you the introductory one.
Work is currently being done to identify lag issues being reported by Xbox 360 players of the game.
PS3 can download an update despite PSN being down, bringing with it the same prediction fixes, freeze bugs and video tweaks seen in the Xbox 360 patch. Host migration has also been improved and a bug involving the Ability Wheel has been ironed out.
The PC patch fixes a corrupt character data bug and improves crash reports through Steam. This will enable Splash Damage to better solve issues in the future. A future update will fix the FOV issue some users have been reporting, while Splash Damage is recommending all PC players make sure they’re using the most up to date drivers for their video card.
We rather liked Brink, awarding it an impressive 8/10.
