Les développeurs de Serious Sam HD : The First Encounter viennent de sortir sur Steam une mise à jour pour le remake de leur FPS bourrin. Cette rustine corrige de nombreux problèmes mineurs liés au mode multijoueur ainsi que de petits soucis techniques comme une utilisation abusive de la mémoire.

Comme d'habitude avec Steam, la mise à jour sera effective au prochain démarrage du client.

La liste complète des changements se trouve dans la suite de la nouvelle.

Updates to Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

* The last door on Karnak level (in campaign game, not demo) never opened in coop if Extra MP Enemies is OFF.
