New Brink PC Update Released
Written by badman on 6 June, 2011 – 21:17 | TaggedBrink
A new update for the PC version of Brink is now available, bringing with it a stack of fixes and improvements. Among the big ticket items in this update are a reworked server browser, a fix for the font corruption issue, better server performance, and the recently announced balance tweaks.
As before, all you have to do to download the update is sign into your Steam account (and ensure it’s not in offline mode). A new version of the standalone dedicated server is available, as well – we recommend updating your server at the earliest convenience if you haven’t already.
The full list of improvements and fixes in this update is available after the break.
