 This patch includes improved compatibility with the Mac version and allows PC players to play against Mac players online.
Prey v1.3 Readme
1. This update includes compatibility files for the Mac port of Prey
(meaning PC users can play against Mac users and vice versa).
2. There are no bug fixes or new content in this release.
3. This release is backwards compatible with Prey 1.2 multiplayer.
4. There are new server files available. Windows versions come with the
patch, Linux versions are available separately.
5. In order for a Mac user to play on a PC pure server, the server they are
on must have the v1.3 server files.
In short, the only thing changed in this patch is that PC players can now play
against Mac players, although the PC side has to be running v1.3 to do this.
Additionally, the dedicated server files need to be at the v1.3 revision for
Mac users to "see" a PC server.
Unlike the last patch, PC v1.2 users can play PC v1.3 servers. If your existing
copy of Prey works, and playing against Macintosh users is not a concern to you,
then you do not need the upgrade. If you run a dedicated server, or you wish to
see the widest number of available servers, though you should upgrade.
Please note that this patch is only for the standalone PC game - If your copy
of Prey was through Steam, do not use this patch, Steam users will be handled
through that system. There is no update needed for the Macintosh version or the
Xbox 360 versions, as these are unaffected by the changes in the v1.3 PC patch
Prey add-on / update to version 1.2:
This add-on includes new maps and multiplayer models as well as a number of bug fixes from previous versions. Please note that this version is network incompatible with previous versions, so by installing this version you will not be able to join any 1.0 or 1.1 multiplayer servers.
This add-on includes four new multiplayer maps and six new multiplayer characters.
New DeathMatch Maps:
The original DM maps in Prey were best suited for 4-8 players. The maps in this add-on were designed for smaller number of players, especially for 1v1 or 2v2 play.
DM Gravity Lab: DMGravityLab takes place on board a floating extension of the Sphere's main Spindle. Players will find themselves running along wallwalk and hanging catwalks all throughout the map. Snipers get to have fun this time around with a large outdoor section complete with wallwalk platforms and portals. Designed for 6 players.
DM Topillogical: The first Prey DM map to feature Outward Gravity. Run 360 degrees around the inside of a giant Sphere to get the best firing position on your enemies. Intriguing side-rooms offer gravity-warping corridors and devious wall-walk ammo depots. Fast-paced action for 4 players.
DM Tunnel Rat: Danger lurks in all directions but down in this maze-running map designed for 6 players. Sharp twists and turns conceal danger at every corner, but eyes up! A mirrored version of the maze forms the ceiling above you.
DM Space Oddity: DM Space Oddity is designed for 4 players and features a large central crossover room with perpendicular gravity pathways. Rack up the kills by dominating the crossover with a rocket launcher!
New Multiplayer Models:
Several new character models are available in DM, three female characters and two alien characters:
Jen: Jen is Tommy's girlfriend, and the owner of the Roadhouse bar. Don't let her dainty looks fool you: all those years of serving drinks to random travelers have toughened her up and made her quite the ass-kicker.
Becky: This young blonde is an unfortunate victim of the Sphere. First aliens abduct her and now she finds herself fighting for her life in a deathmatch arena!
Elhuit: The leader of a race of humans who managed to hide and survive living on the Sphere for centuries.
Alien Hunter: The Hunter is part of a race taken by the Sphere long ago. Now the Hunter serves as one of the chief minions of the Sphere, acting as an enforcer force for any humans who try to escape.
Elite Alien Hunter: Same badass Hunter, cooler-looking armor.
Bug Fixes:
This update also includes a number of bug fixes:
* Network protocol version bump (will no longer be able to see 1.1 or 1.0 servers)
* Installer will now update uninstaller. This fixes the missing installer problem.
* Game DLL interface bump for upcoming mod SDK release (so mods will only work with v1.2)
* Fix for a weapon switch exploit
