Tous les goûts étant toutefois dans la nature, nous nous devons de vous informer qu'Ubisoft et son studio de Shanghai viennent de publier un premier patch pour Tom Clancy's EndWar. Estampillée v1.01, cette mise à jour revient sur de nombreux problème en améliorant notamment la stabilité sous Windows XP 64-bit ou en corrigeant le souci de dégradation des performances au fur et à mesure des parties. Il est également question de mieux gérer le multithreading, d'optimiser l'utilisation de l'amBX et de corriger de très nombreux bugs plus ou moins importants.
Rien ou presque en revanche concernant le gameplay du jeu à proprement parler... Peut-être pour un prochain patch ? En attendant, nous vous proposons de télécharger cette v1.01 depuis nos serveurs.
