Chunky Orange Box PS3 patch released News
PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
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.

Alyz would have to be very dirty for me to fancy her. Only once did I look at her arse wiggling and thought - yeah I would.

How about when the update is up then put up a news article saying the update is out, Eurogamer?

Hopefully it brings the ability to make private rooms in TF2, so we can finally start doing clanwars.
If not, then it's Vegas 2 from now on (or at least until COD4 brings new maps) |

Just fired it up, and there was no notification to start an update.
When, exactly, is it released, EG? |

IF this improves the framerate (which isn't THAT bad IMHO) then this will be the best news ever - simply because I love HL2 so much.

There is two parts in Episode one that slowed down. Who ever didn't buy this game because "it had slowdown issues" were absolute fools. And the update still isn't out Eurogamer. Yous have to stop covering news and rumors for other continents.

Still no sign of the patch.
And when I go into TF2, it keeps me on the "Connecting to EA Nation...." box for ages, and when I quit the game, it crashes, and restarts my PS3. Not good EA. Not good at all. |

Patch applied and tested, loading times appear to be no different, the framerate still stutters in busy areas and after quicksaving. So don't be too worried that you don't have the update.
