The team that worked on Prey have been working on a 1.1. patch, and new downloadable content (DLC). What is fixed and what is to come?
Our site member TANK has found some good information for those Prey fans to think about.
The version 1.1 bug fix list is as follows (not a final list):
There is also going to be a fix for some network lag issues on the Xbox 360 console. The bug fixes have no final release date yet - at least we know what is being worked on.
Now, what about this new content? 3D Realms has stated in their weekly news update:
The DLC does not have an announced date as of yet, so stay tuned. I would assume it will cost some amount of Xbox Marketplace points, but 3d realms stated nothing about cost.

The version 1.1 bug fix list is as follows (not a final list):
- Fixed a crash at startup on some machines
- Fixed an occasional crash on the dedicated server
- Fixed a crash when using image_usecache cvar with very big textures. Textures whose lowest mip map doesn't fit will be default texture.
- This was causing a crash when a modified prey was loading "Mother's Embrace".
- Fixed a crash on some machines when reading savegames.
- Some timedemo features not appearing if you restart between record/playback
- Added widescreen resolutions to menus
- Updated multiplayer browser to fix servers not showing up due to DNS resolution
- Updated multiplayer browser not keeping join button up to date when server summary wasn't the active tab.
- Updated multiplayer browser so punkbuster icons show up in their column properly
- Updated multiplayer browser so mod games' icons show up properly
- Updated multiplayer browser so server scanning is more consistent on slower connections
- Fixed multiplayer weapon exploit
There is also going to be a fix for some network lag issues on the Xbox 360 console. The bug fixes have no final release date yet - at least we know what is being worked on.
Now, what about this new content? 3D Realms has stated in their weekly news update:
There's also new content for Prey coming soon -- still in the process of finalizing the new maps. We've read online that some people have requested maps that function well as 1v1 maps. So, we've taken that to heart and have been working on four maps that work better with a smaller number of people 2-4 players. Of course, you can still play with more than four in the maps, but they can get pretty insane.
Also, we're adding in six new player characters:
- Four female characters: Jen, Elhuit, Mother, and Becky (the blond victim you see occasionally on slabs in the single player Prey)
- Two Hunter characters: Hunter and Elite Hunter
The DLC does not have an announced date as of yet, so stay tuned. I would assume it will cost some amount of Xbox Marketplace points, but 3d realms stated nothing about cost.
