C&C3 patched up News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC

Tank you very much.

EA has released a second patch for Command & Conquer 3, which addresses a number of critical technical hiccups relating to the patching process and lobby system.

It brings the game up to version 1.0.2, following Wednesday's update that tackled some exploits and balance issues. A further addition is expected imminently to fix a few multiplayer problems.

All you have to do is storm over to the game's website and download the appropriate file for your country, unless you want to add some spice and play it in Spanish or something.

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars is the third game that plans to take the world renowned series back to its roots. It rekindles those giddying FMV sequences, featuring actors such as Michael "Sam Fisher" Ironside, to compliment its heady dose of RTS mayhem.

It was released on PC today, and is expected on 360 later in the year.

So, who will prevail this time, Nod or GDI? Pop over to our C&C 3 review to find out.

I'm going to sue EA. I've been beta testing its games for years and I've not been paid yet.

The game is pretty solid, the patchs are down to the multiplayer lobby which has been having some nasty crash to desktops when plenty of players are around. They've also been pretty good on the official forums addressing the issue and keeping players updated, so if anything i'm impressed they've found the fault and fixed it this quickly.

I am. The alternative is not getting patches at all or only on later prints of the game discs as in the previous gen.

Not to forgetthat patches are needed for balance issues in multiplayer games, something hardly needed for console games until recently, because you can't test a game's balance the way that thousands of thousands of games played online will do.

I knew it - this game isn't going to be finished for another 3 weeks at least. I'll just wait and buy it then.

Single player game works fine mate, and its quite big, you may as well get it now, get yer single player fetish out of the way, and by the time you have completed it and want to play multiplayer (which has the problems) they will be fixed!

They had to patch it because the game had MAJOR problems running on most 64 bit Vista versions (like mine).
