'A Sony source explained that the patch would help by "reducing the loads on the servers at GameSpy and hopefully the completely random hangs that some users have seen'.

hopefully it will fix the online issues as that is the only problem i have with the game.

It's weird, I've not had any problems, multiplayer or single player. I Hope this patch doesn't brake mine

[mr_vic]

has anyone had chance to confirm that a patch has improved the game?

[shaun1208]

I haven't had a prompt for an update yet, has the patch been confirmed at all?

It doesnt mention anything about fixing judder and framerate issues that alot of people have been experiencing which is a little discouraging.. Unless the online play fix was easier to sort than the framerate problems..

Fingers crossed this patch does sort the judder though..
