New LA Noire update goes live

Physics tweaked, bugs fixed.

A new automatic title update for Rockstar's detective epic L.A. Noire has gone live today.

As detailed on the developer's site, it makes a number of fairly minor changes, including a fix for a bug that was preventing some users from advancing beyond rank 19.

Here's the full list of tweaks:

  • Implemented a handful of physics changes to prevent floating, falling and traveling outside the map
  • Improved crash handling
  • Fixed an issue where a clean installation interrupted by a Title Update would still show a "game data is corrupt and is being repaired" message (PS3 only)
  • Fixed an issue that prevented players from getting beyond Rank 19 in certain instances
  • Fixed an issue where case objectives might not appear in the notebook after replaying cases

L.A Noire landed on the desk of Eurogamer's Oli Welsh last month. A thorough investigation revealed a game worthy of a solid 8/10.
