Kimona sends word that the first title update for Shadowrun will go live in the following days:
As we’ve mentioned before, the team’s working on a number of title updates for Shadowrun. The first one should go live within the next day or two.
The first update will be very limited in scope. Here’s what’s on the menu:
Vista:
1) Addressed a problem with viewing Shadowrun in the Games Explorer on the Vista versions for Portugal and Finland.
2) Fixed an issue involving removing the controller while playing on Vista.
3) If you lose your connection to LIVE while playing on Vista, the UI behaves correctly now.360:
1) Fixed a hard lock that can occur when a player signs out of a profile on 360.
2) Fixed a hard lock that can occur after starting a bot match in Chapter 4 of the training.
3) Fixed an issue that affected voice-over in the Italian 360 version.Common:
- Fixed a small memory leak that could affect performance and stability in some situations.
This is good news as there are some issues that need addressing. Most gamers that are playing the game now accept these errors and can enjoy the game. But the fixes will be great in making good first impressions on new players. They also help increase replayability.
Here’s hoping for a standalone dedicated server that will run on Windows Server 2003 so that the PC community will grow. I mean, who hosts dedicated servers on Vista without breaking most all ISP’s Terms of Service? I know people have gone to jail over Shadowrun before. But I don’t want to. Even though the current servers are west coast servers (probably hosted on some corporate connection), they are a lot smoother than playing on Joe Schmoe’s XBOX 360. Oh, and achievements in dedicated servers, please! Dedicated server support for datacenter-host machines FTW!

Good new. Look forward to Update#2 which will tackel some of the bigger issues.
Fantastic game BTW. Loving it.
Look forward to more new on DLC.
This aught to be one of several updates to come, also if downloadable content is released for this game it had better be free. Considdering that microsoft made us pay full game price for multiplayer only. I for one feel taken advantage of.
Not true. It may be MP only but it is excellent value. Ive got more hours out of this game than most SP games.
Great MP game, though. Really, we pay 60 dollars for 10 to 15 hours of single player and years of multiplayer with some games, so I don’t see it as overpricing. But what I WOULD like to see is the Deus Ex people get together with FASA and make a espionage type game out of Shadowrun for a single player experience.
