14 DAY TRIAL // DC Universe Online, Sony Computer Entertainment's brand new comic-based MMO, has just received a patch for the PlayStation 3 edition, which aims at fixing some of the problems encountered by players in the week since its release.
The title, which was launched almost two weeks ago for the PC and PlayStation 3, has been suffering from a lot of issues, with players complaining about a variety of problems, both on the PC and on the PlayStation 3.
Sony has just pushed a patch for the console version over the weekend, addressing some of the immediate complaints, but one of the key systems, the voice chat, is still broken, with players flooding the forum of the game.
"We are currently working on implementing some chat improvements," said a Sony representative. "In the interim I'd like to see if there are some specific areas or types of chat not working more often than others. If it's a server load issue, we will absolutely address it."
Until that's fixed, you can check out the changes brought by the new patch in DC Universe Online for the PlayStation 3.
General: * Improved Client performance and stability. * Addressed an issue that caused some PS3 players to hang or disconnect in the tutorial. * Addressed an issue where other characters may appear to "warp" onscreen. * The time it takes to get to Character Selection on launch has been reduced.
Audio: * Audio should no longer drop after cutscenes if you have your Music volume set to 0. Chat: * The player's Voice Chat Channel should now be selected according to the following priority, from highest to lowest: Alert Group Custom League
Player Appearance: * Equipping a new weapon should no longer cause your weapon appearance to disappear. * Swapping weapons with your weapon style locked should no longer cause the weapon appearance to change.
