Texas Hold' em and Hexic 2 Title Updates Coming
When I think about life, I wish that someone could just come along and make all my bankroll problems go away. As a bonus, it'd be good if I had someone to let me know when a bomb was about to blow up near me (even a 5 minute warning would be nice).
If you enjoy Texas Hold' em and Hexic 2, my sick thoughts will make a lot of sense to you, because you're about to get a title update to make your gaming life better. The updates will clean up some exploits and bankroll troubles in Texas Hold 'em and some bomb and timer issues in Hexic 2. Leaderboards will also be reset to keep things fair. Read the detailed update descriptions below to get the full scoop.
Texas Hold’em:
A Title Update for Texas Hold’em will be released later this week, which includes the following updates:
• Players must now have adequate buy-in to start a game
• Enhancements in the quality of language translation
• Resolved exploit for increasing competitive bankroll
As such, the competitive bankroll and corresponding Leaderboards will also be reset at the time of the title update to restore competitive balance. Player Match and Single Player bankrolls and Leaderboards will remain intact.
Hexic 2:
We’ve listened to the community and are making the following updates on 9/28 to enhance the gameplay experience in Hexic 2:
• Bombs now appear as intended in continued saved games for Marathon or Timed modes; previously they did not appear if the game was saved on Level 8.
• In Timed saved games, the timer will now start as soon as a rotation is made in a saved game, rather than when the first combo is made. It still takes a valid combo to start the timer at the beginning of a new game.
• When there are no more available moves (detonating a special piece is still considered a valid available move), the board will now reset with new pieces.
• A sound is now played when a bomb first appears in Marathon or Timed more to give the player appropriate warning.
Marathon, Marathon Weekly and Timed Leaderboards will be reset when the title update is available to ensure all scores posted are valid. No other Leaderboards will be affected.
All Timed saved games and Level 8 Marathon saved games are no longer valid and will not load. Survival saved games are not affected
