Painkiller Resurrection Reloaded Patch fixes bugs and adds new content to the game

January 9th, 2010 Desktop General

Homegrown Games Studio and JoWooD Entertainment hasn’t been idle during the holiday season and released a new patch for Painkiller Resurrection. This update is now available and will be installed automatically after running the Updater. Besides fixing known issues, the update also adds thrilling new content in single player mode, as well as multiplayer modes.

Johann Ertl, Head of Development at Homegrown Games:

“Alright, here is the list of what’s new (in ADDITION to smaller fixes for reported errors”):

  • New AI System: Blending the direct approach used now and a sophisticated waypoint system. In most areas, monsters will not only chase you through complex architecture but you’ll also see them taking different ways in order to outrun you. At times, even retreating to get a better angle of you from behind.
  • Improved Character models and animations: Our 3D Artists gave it another shot and improved the look and animations of various monsters.
  • Ingame MP hosting reactivated: Dedicated servers are no longer needed.
  • Competitive MP crash fixed and tweaked: Dropped weapons look, jumping walls etc.
  • Coop for up to 16 players for an intense experience! Although it’s best to play with 2-4 players with up to 50 monsters and fight them as a team.
  • New maps and some other new surprises in the levels themselves are on their way.

Apart from fixing several technical issues we also added new content as a token of gratitude for all those who felt that they weren’t satisfied with what they got.”

The developer does point out that previously saved games should be deleted to ensure the full functionality of the update. Please launch the Auto-Update.

Bohemia Interactive releases new sneak peek teaser video showing free downloadable content in forthcoming ARMA 2 patch

As a continuous commitment to its dedicated fans, Bohemia Interactive, an award winning independent development studio, and IDEA Games, an association of independent developers located in the Czech Republic, release an exclusive sneak peek teaser video together with pack of four screenshots introducing the forthcoming patch which will upgrade the military simulator ARMA 2 to version 1.05.

ARMA 2 patch v1.05

The video, available for download at www.arma2.com, introduces the bonus campaign “Eagle Wing“ featuring the new AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. The “Eagle Wing“ mini-campaign expands upon one of the seven unique endings of the original ARMA 2 over two extensive new levels; It’s the year 2012, the war in Chernarus has overgrown into a conflict between the USA and the Russian Federation. The player finds themselves caught in the middle of an escalating conflict. As a pilot of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, the player’s task seems easy – to get behind enemy lines and attack. However the situation is about to change rapidly…

Amongst other things the 1.05 patch features a new warfare mode “When Diplomacy Fails”, including 3-side support for diplomacy between all factions allowing players to enjoy the strategic part of the game in a size never seen before. Warfare mode is a unique gaming experience first introduced in ARMA: Armed Assault. The mode combines tactical FPS gameplay with strategic elements which allow players to either join the fight in the front lines attacking the enemy directly, or to crush them in a commander position giving orders to other players whilst managing resources and the main base. Moreover each player is allowed to lead his own squad. Up to 32 players are supported, this multiplayer mode is a true war experience.

“At Bohemia Interactive we make a continuous commitment to support our products. This latest update 1.05 reaffirms our commitment to ARMA 2 and our community at large: it includes the free downloadable content as our way of saying thank you to all those who buy our games and provide us support and feedback from around the globe. We continue to be amazed by the many ways our community is constantly expanding on our game with addons, mods and usermade missions. With this level of continued activity surrounding our game it’s our pleasure to be able to support it this extensively post-launch.“ said Marek Spanel, Bohemia´s CEO.

ARMA 2 patch 1.05 will be released later in December 2009. Stay tuned and visit the ARMA 2 homepage at www.arma2.com for the latest Intel.
