Brink PC Update and New Dedicated Server Released

By on May 23, 2011

Splash Damage released today a new update for the PC version of Brink. This update improves graphical performance, fixes memory leak/crash when alt-tabbing and increases the font size of the in-game text chat. Among all fixes and improvements, it also features an improved version of the Standalone Dedicated Server. The update will be auto-downloaded next time you start Steam.
