Burnout Paradise: Patch V1.2 in Vorbereitung, Details inside

Criterion Games bereitet derzeit ein massives Update seines Action-Rennspiels f�r die Xbox 360 und PlayStation 3 vor. Lest hier, welche Updates bereits vorgenommen wurden, mit welchen Verbesserungen in K�rze zu rechnen ist und wie es um neue Spielinhalte bestellt ist.

Burnout Paradise: Patch V1.2 in Vorbereitung, Details inside Lange Zeit den PC-Spielen vorbehalten, sind Patches und Updates f�r Besitzer einer Xbox 360- oder PlayStation 3-Konsole inzwischen nichts Neues mehr. So gibt es dann auch �ber Xbox Live und das PlayStation Network nicht nur Videos, Demoversionen und neue Spielinhalte, sondern auch das eine oder andere Update.

Criterion Games hat nun ein solches f�r Burnout Paradise angek�ndigt. Bevor das Update mit der Versionsnummer 1.2 erscheint, wurde zun�chst aber ein Problem im Zusammenhang mit der Xbox 360-Account�berpr�fung behoben, welches dazu f�hrte, dass sich einige Spieler mit ihren Gamertags nicht mit den Burnout Paradise-Servern verbinden konnten. F�r den 11. M�rz 2008 wurden zudem Verbesserungen am Ranglistensystem angek�ndigt mit denen man das Problem von unschuldig verloren gegangenen Ranglistenpunkten in den Griff bekommen will.

Nicht weniger als 31 Fehlerbehebungen und Verbesserungen wird das Update V1.2 enthalten. Noch k�nnen die Entwickler zwar kein genaues Verf�gbarkeitsdatum mitteilen, jedoch best�tigten diese, dass man Details zu zuk�nftigen Updates und Pl�nen zu neuen Spielinhalten sobald wie m�glich bekannt geben will.

Burnout Paradise-Spieler k�nnen schon einmal die �nderungen die Patch V1.2 mit sich bringen wird der nachstehenden, englischsprachigen �bersicht entnehmen.

Top 10 behobener Probleme:
-PS3 game can crash when a player is taken down and the player that has performed the Takedown leaves the game.
-The game indefinitely displays "Connecting to Paradise City Servers" if it's having problems pinging the rebroadcast server.
-Disconnecting the controller before a race begins can mean that race timings can be manipulated with players who didn't cross the line first being awarded the win
-Repeatedly joining and leaving a game with 8 players can cause the game to hang.
-Hammering the A (360) or X (PS3) after unlocking a car can cause the game to hang.
-East Crawford and Watt St achievements can not be achieved if the player goes online and sets road rules before attempting them.
-Audio distortion when using 5.1 / DTS and looking rearwards.
-Enhanced 360 streaming performance stops instances where the game seems to pause for a second or so.
-Total time driven in player stats would stick at 145 hours :)
-VoIP connection problems with 8 player games.

Gameplay-Verbesserungen:
-We're going to be running road rule timers in all events and online challenges.
-Tuning Online Takedown logic and physical behaviour to iron out instances where it doesn't feel fair.
-Increase online race timer timeout so players have a greater chance of finishing the race.
-Fix drifting bug when drifting and boosting there wasn't any real control on the brake so players would grind around the walls of the corners. Getting better control.
-Boost fix, stabbing the boost has too much of a jerky behaviour in the car handling.
-Surround sound fix - Centre speaker was 4dB louder, ruining the mix and the speech has now been positioned correctly.
-Tweak Marked Man gameplay AI, was easy to exploit by driving in reverse.
-Increase the # of search results returned for online games.
-Increase Picture Paradise timer so it doesn't kick in so quickly.
