Steam Updates and Releases 19 March 2011

Just three updates today, no new releases, but it’s already been a big week for releases so we’ve all got games to play until the next batch. I’m currently playing Homefront for review which Steam had some problems loading, but no worries as it works now.

Total War: SHOGUN 2 Update Released

Total War: SHOGUN 2 – v 1.1
Release Notes

Multiplayer - Fixed Crash when reaching lobby for a 4v4 Set-up Team game

Tutorials – Fixed bug where camera would fall below ground level during fly-by of warrior monks.
Localisation – Various minor bug fixes

Wings of Prey Update Released

Updates to Wings of Prey have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

- Full EFIGS voiceovers
- Fixes some multiplayer bugs
- Removes DRM

Magicka Update Released

Changelist (1.3.5.5)
• Fixed a threading related crash in the iconrenderer.
• The game will no longer crash when a undefined animation is played for a character.
• Fixed a issue when changing language.
• Fixed a issue with damageable physics entities statuseffects.
• Added modified content checking.
• Fixed a startup issue where a saved gamer is refering to a missing playable avatar.
• Readded VAC option when hosting an online game.
• Added file verification feature that disables achievements, online leaderboards and VAC protected games when using modified content. Modding is still fully possible.

Known issues
• Network uplink bandwidth, while improved, can be demanding.
• Steam attempts to install XNA framework every time game is launched or rare occasion.
• Characters can in rare cases fall through the level collision mesh, this is due to lag or poor framerate. Many general network improvements and general optimization will reduce this risk.
• The game may appear to be stuttering even though framerate is good.

NOTE:

After the patch, the game might say you are running a modded version, ignore it and see this Steam forum thread.
