Avec pas mal de retard, le premier patch pour PainKiller, numéroté 1.15, vient finalement de sortir. Il pèse 50 Mo et contient moult corrections du mode multijoueur du titre de People Can Fly, ainsi qu’une nouvelle map multi. Parmi les changements en multijoueur, on notera les possibilités de voter dans la console et d’enregistrer des démos, ou encore un nouveau code permettant de tenter de prédire les déplacements.
Le solo n’est pas oublié non plus, avec quelques corrections de bugs et un outil de benchmarking. Pour le téléchargement de tout ça, il y a pour l’instant notre FTP, 3D Gamers et Fileshack.

Also implemented in the Painkiller 1.15 Update is some experimental forward-looking prediction code. As the name suggests, it’s in the early stages of development, but may help some players – especially those with high ping – to achieve smoother game play. There are known issues with this code (eg. ragdolls move too quickly, code starts behaving incorrectly after longer periods of play, etc.) but it’s in a state that allows some experimentation.
