This patch addresses the dreaded startup bug as well as the quality of the lighting on lower end systems with Dynamic Lights set to "deactivated". We have also addressed several bugs in single, multiplayer and splitscreen (local multiplayer) modes. Please let us know if there are any issues which come up.
We are agressively moving toward full release (look for a release candidate within the next coulple weeks).
Thank you for your patience and understanding with this long process - our aim has always been to create a game that was solid and fun.
Kindest Regards,
Garry
