Hitman - PC-Patch mit Reconnect-Funktion mildert Online-Frust

Für die PC-Version von Hitman steht jetzt ein neuer Patch samt Reconnect-Funktion bereit.

Während sich die Entwickler von IO Interactive eigentlich auf den Release der zweiten Episode von Hitman am 26. April 2016 vorbereiten, haben sie kurz zuvor noch einen neuen Patch für die PC-Version veröffentlicht.

Das Update bietet unter anderem eine Reconnect-Funktion. Mit deren Hilfe ist es künftig beim Verlust der Onlineverbindung möglich, diese umgehend wiederherzustellen, ohne dabei die zuvor erzielten Fortschritte zu verlieren. Des Weiteren hat das Team die Ladezeiten von Hitman deutlich reduziert, einige Optimierungen an den HUD-Einstellungen vorgenommen und die allgemeine Stabilität des Spiels verbessert.
