- Bully PC Patch (v1.20) Fixes RAM Limit - If
you are one of those sad saps who bought the PC verson of Bully, you
most assuredly know that the game is prone to frequent framerate drops,
audio hiccups and outright freezing. The v1.20 patch for Rockstar's PC
release of Bully: Scholarship Edition
is now available on FileShack, a 15MB download said to fix "poor
streaming performance, random lock ups, and random crashes affecting
64-bit Windows with over 2 GB of RAM." Previously, those that
encountered RAM-related issues with the
action-adventure game were required to manually limit the amount of
memory recognized by Windows.

- Battlefield Heroes Beta Plans - The

military shooter. As for participating in the ongoing beta for the

- Demigod still has multiplayer networking issues
- Stardock's head Brad
Wardell states in his latest update on the game's forum that
60 percent of players still have flaky multiplayer issues while another
10 percent can't play online at all. Why? Well it's pretty technical
but Wardell has an example of what's happening: "When Bill and Rick
decide to play Demigod together. The NAT facilitator connects them
together, sends a message to Impulse Reactor which in turn hands over
the socket to Demigod's lobby. We have verified that the NAT
facilitator is sending the message but the message is never being
received. We know it has something to do with the load because when we
try it out with a relatively small group of testers (~100) it works
flawlessly. It's when it is put out there for tens of thousands of
people that it falls apart."

- Console Witcher Cancellation Confirmed -
Details are sketchy, but the
following facts have been confirmed: after the release of The Witcher,
CD Projekt Red took the financial obligation of starting 3 projects
simultaneously, a console port of The Witcher, and two more titles

Witcher 2. As the financial crisis hit, the studio was affected as
well, finding itself incapable of managing all three projects and
forced to lay off a significant portion of its staff. The third Witcher

their own volition. A second round of layoffs followed as The Witcher:
Rise of the White Wolf was cancelled, including around two dozen people
losing their jobs yesterday.
