A new patch for "Hellgate: London" has been released, bringing the single-player portion of the game to version 1.2.

"After about two weeks in public beta testing, the Hellgate: London Single Player Patch 1.2 update is ready to be finally be released. The release candidate published last week has been poked, prodded, and otherwise fully tested and has been retitled sans "beta". Those users who have already applied the release candidate version of this patch need to take no additional action as the update has not changed since.

The reason for the lengthy patch release was due largely in part to an issues players were experiencing where they couldn't make Elite Mode characters. This problem has been fixed and is listed in the compendium that is the Single Player Patch 1.2 notes, available here."

The 186.5MB v1.2 single-player patch can be downloaded from AtomicGamer, FileFront, FileShack, Gamer's Hell, Strategy Informer, or Worthplaying.

The Hellgate website also states that patch 1.3 is now live but it is not mirrored anywhere yet.
