Electronic Arts has announced a software patch for The Orange Box on Playstation 3 is now available for download in North America. The patch can be acquired for free via the Playstation Network.
Among the bugs addressed (or better yet, squashed) in this update a graphical issue whereby a player would have the explosion effect left on the end of their Rocket Launcher when attempting to Rocket Jump and a memory leak to improve single player stability.
Additional fixes are as follows.
- Fixed an issue whereby the players name would not appear on the Stats comparison screen.
- We have fixed an issue that would cause the vote tallies to disappear when you viewed the scoreboard between rounds.
- Fixed an online server issue.
- Fixed an issue that caused a crash when a player that wasn’t in Division 1 entered “Your Leaderboards.
- Fixed an issue with players not always being added to the “Players Met” menu on the XMB.
- Fixed a bug where a player viewing a friend without an EA account would have an empty entry in the friend’s Leaderboard.
- Fixed an issue where it was not possible to connect to the EA servers if you had more than 30 friends.
A European patch update is expected in the near future.
