Chunky Orange Box PS3 patch released

via Eurogamer


EA has sneakily released a beefy patch to address problems with The Orange Box on PS3.

The 1.10 update is 128 MB, and unhelpfully has no associated documentation to outline the changes.

Early reports suggest friends not appearing on lists and certain accounts not connecting to the EA servers should no longer be a problem.

Orange Box PS3 owners have publicly complained for a while over the framerate and connection issues as well as slow loading times.

Valve does not develop PS3 versions of its games internally but outsources them to a third-party. It has said this is the model it will follow for the foreseeable future.

Can you tell us what else the patch has addressed, Eurogamer reader? You can have an Easter egg as a reward.

I purchased Orange Box hearing there had been framerate issues in development, but I have yet to experience them in gameplay. Maybe because I've mostly only played Portal. Also haven't tried much in the way of online, just because TF2 probably has more players on PC or 360. Should be interesting to see if this actually changes anything...
