Rise of the Triad

Interceptor Entertainment has released a huge update for Rise of the Triad – that weights around 1GB – and adds quicksaves and the much anticipated Ludicrous Development Kit. In addition, this patch comes with lots of fixes for both the SP and the MP mode, adds support for community multiplayer and single player maps, and adds proper map rotation enabled to its MP Dedicated Server tool. As usual, the patch will be auto-downloaded next time you launch Steam, and you can view its changelog below. Have fun!
