Update

PC

A game update for the PC version of Brink is in final testing and we’re planning to release it early next week. This update contains a host of fixes and improvements including the following:

We’ve identified the cause of sound dropping out on certain maps when playing networked games for a prolonged amount of time. This will no longer occur.

Graphical performance has been improved, especially when using Ambient Occlusion. We’ve worked closely with both AMD and NVIDIA, and you should see performance and stability improvements in future driver revisions from both parties.

The server browser is tweaked in this update, as well; among other things, a new filter allows you to display only servers with a certain number of players on them, and full servers will no longer be filtered out completely.

There are some smaller fixes for minor issues including your character’s voice occasionally resetting when deleting another character, and a memory leak when alt-tabbing out of the game.

Finally, the dedicated server is set to get an update at the same time as the main game, which will result in improved CPU performance. We’ve protected certain cvars that previously allowed server admins to accidentally break objectives involving NPCs.

The full changelog will be released alongside the update, so keep an eye out for that.

Objectives

Hackboxes are getting a significant tweak across the board to help out attacking teams. We have drastically increased the time it takes Engineers to "de-hack", making it easier for the attackers to actually get the hack done.

In addition to the Hackbox change, we've got several other objective tweaks coming, as well. For starters, we're doubling the XP received for completing Primary Objectives in the game, so if you tackle one of them, your reward will be much greater from now on.

In addition, we've made the following map-specific adjustments:

Aquarium: Elevator generator construction time decreased
Container City: Robot health increased
Reactor: Terminal hack time slightly increased to balance new hacking mechanic
Resort: Gate hack time slightly increased to balance new hacking mechanic
Security Tower: Passcode return time increased
Security Tower: Passcode transmit time decreased

Abilities

Somewhat unsurprisingly, we've also been unable to keep our hands off Brink's player abilities. There's a single tweak coming your way here, with the Medic's Adrenaline ability now having a shorter duration, which'll make timing the ability right even more important.
When Will I Get These?

These changes are already live in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Brink. If you're on the PC, you'll be getting the entire batch of balance changes alongside the next game update.
