PC Update
On the PC side, we're pleased to report that we've put together our first game update, bringing two immediate improvements to Brink:
It greatly enhances the crash reports we're getting through Steam, with more detailed information coming our way from now on. While this doesn't sound very exciting for you as a player, it's really useful for the Brink team as it'll allow us to track down the underlying issues much more quickly and work on fixes for them – particularly stability issues relating to compatibility.
This update also fixes an issue where closing the game before getting to the character selection screen can corrupt your character data and make it unusable. Until the game update comes out, we strongly recommend not shutting Brink down during start-up to avoid this issue altogether.
Better yet, this update is already on the way to Steam and you'll get it automatically through the Steam client as soon as it's out.
In other PC news, we've also been working closely with the guys over at Bethesda Softworks to identify and solve any hardware compatibility issues that people have been reporting. For the AMD graphics card owners out there, make sure you've installed the latest AMD video drivers as that will solve a fair few of the visual and performance issues out there. Similarly, if you have an NVIDIA card and are experiencing issues with the game, make sure you've got the latest NVIDIA video drivers installed.
The next game update for the PC version is already in the works, and includes a fix for the FOV issue some of you have been reporting on the forums, among several other things. We'll have more information to share on that soon.

Why the fuck do we still have to have varying release dates in different regions in 2011?
Also, they had no beta, so most hardware issues were unknown. Be happy that there are only a few.
SC2 is still suffering by crashes and other problems arise after each patch.
theres loads of customisations that really just do the same thing.
you only get certain weapons if you bought a certain version of the game, like fallout or doom.
its so slow its painfull.
yes, theres classes and objectives like et, but thats where it ends with the similarities.
i just hope the "pro mod" is good..... cos so far, im so unimpressed :(
