First Standoff Patch Available

The Standoff team are working hard to address every issue that has come up with Episode 5 so far. A new patch improves support for ATI-based graphics cards, fixes a couple of show-stopping bugs and also solves a few smaller issues. Installing the latest drivers for your 3D board can also help. A solution for the memory leak is still forthcoming, but developers are closing in on the source of the problem. Players are asked to report any bugs they encounter and, if possible, how to reproduce them. Eder has the details on patch 1.26:

A patch is now available via the launcher's auto-update system. If you have it enabled, just start your Standoff launcher while connected to the internet and follow the directions to install the patch. The file is only available via the auto-update system right now.

Here is a list of issues which should be fixed:

• ATI cards should now be able to use the new shaders effects (Enhanced Lighting and HDR)
• Fixed one cause for crashes that could appear in several different occasions throughout the game
• Fixed a specific problem that caused the Crossbow rescue mission in Episode 5 to crash
• Existing score-enabled Simulator missions are once again score-enabled
• Fixed an issue with the Lionheart's hangar room in widescreen mode
• Fixed some spelling mistakes in subtitles
• Other minor fixes

We ask everyone to please update their games, and to keep reporting any issues (including any problems you may have with the things which we believe we have fixed). Please make sure you are using the latest drivers for your video card.
