Thief Deadly Shadows 1.1 Patch Fixes AI

Posted by michael on from the shadows-now-30%-more-deadly dept.

Lemmus writes "A patch for the PC version of Thief: Deadly Shadows is now available. The patch fixes the AI skill level being reset whenever a level is reloaded, the major bug previously reported in a post at Slashdot Games. This is apparently the only thing that the patch fixes, so users with other problems have to wait for another patch. Although Ion Storm warns against installing the patch on installations with user-modified .ini files, most users don't seem to be having any trouble with it."

  1. Honestly... (Ironic, I know..) by Metallic+Matty · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No offense to Ion or any other fine producer of games out there, but should these kind of patches really be necessary?

    I mean honestly, do they HAVE testing? You'd think something like this would be noticed ahead of release.

    All I can think of this Penny-Arcade in reference to Splinter Cell.

  2. How does this deserve to be on the front page? by mtrisk · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No offense, but...

    Akamai gets attacked, and the story gets rejected from slashdot, yet a minor patch about a game I've never heard about makes the front page? They must be feeding bat guano to the editors down there in the locked basement.
    Slashdot usually manages to post good stories, but there's always a quirk now and then.
