PS3 Patch LIVE


Good news, true believers the PS3 patch is a reality. The download appears to be 122 MB in size and so should not take long to download. UPDATE: The secondary download is pretty large. So the total download time looks to be 2.5 hours. Hopefully, it resolves many of the gameplay "fixes" many felt needed to be addressed. Feel free to leave your impressions in the comments based on whether you felt the patch correctly addresses the things that were lacking. In closing, a big shout to the team at SOE for patching the Beta 2 weeks after it was released. YOU GUYS ROCK! the patch notes are below.

 * Text font has been increased to make menus and the User Interface more readable.

* A number of crash bugs have been identified and corrected which should reduce “freezing” issues.
* We’ve adjusted the User Interface to work better with the directional pad on the PS3 controller.
* The Social menu is much larger and we’ve provided menus with emotes and common phrases to help you communicate more efficiently. The Directional Pad on your Gamepad now gives players quick access to the following menus.
o Up: Actions Menu - Allows players to see Combo and Ability descriptions, toggle PVP Flag and change role.
o Down: Canned Chat Menu - Allows players to choose from commonly used phrases.
o Right: Buffs Menu - Allows players to see details about buffs that are currently applied
o Left: Emotes Menu - Allows players to use Character animation to communicate.te.
* Sound bugs have been fixed and all the final voice-overs are in the game.

As a note we've made adjustments to the Trait system so you may need to reselect yours. Let us know how you enjoy the patch and thank you for playing DCUO!
