Also implemented in the Painkiller 1.15 Update is some experimental forward-looking prediction code. As the name suggests, it's in the early stages of development, but may help some players - especially those with high ping - to achieve smoother game play. There are known issues with this code (eg. ragdolls move too quickly, code starts behaving incorrectly after longer periods of play, etc.) but it's in a state that allows some experimentation.

The multiplayer demo expected on May 3 has obviously been delayed, and is expected to incorporate the changes found in the 1.15 Update. A new date for the multiplayer demo will be announced soon.
