PS3 ORANGE BOX PATCHED
Stability and menu fixes.
By Steve Watts, 03/20/2008
A couple of weeks ago when the PC and 360 versions of Team Fortress 2 were patched, we wondered aloud where the PlayStation 3 patch was. That was answered today as a new software update went up on the PlayStation Network to address PS3-specific issues of the game, similar to how the 360's patch tried to relieve the ailing lag problems.
Though there is a fix for the memory "to improve single player stability" in the Orange Box, most of the tweaks are for Team Fortress 2. Specifically addressed problems include a graphical glitch leaving an explosion effect after a rocket jump, player names not appearing on the stats screen, vote tallies disappearing between rounds, and some issues with the EA leaderboards and servers. It also fixed some minor crashing problems and an occasional issue with seeing the "Players Met" on the XMB.
All in all, nothing major was added, but these tweaks allow the game to run a bit smoother on the PS3. Now if we can just get some of that free DLC, that'd be the icing on the cake.
