MotorStorm update 1.2 to be released mid-May |
Ó
It was recently announced that Evolution Studios' best-selling game MotorStorm is set to get a free update by the middle of May. Included with the update is a fix for plug-in exploits, audio problems, stability issues, and other multiplayer enhancements.
It is notable that a full reset of all Ranks will also occur once the update becomes available. We'll leave it up to you on how to take that bit of news.
Details surrounding the changes included in update 1.2 follow:
- Game List Improvement: "Game Status" is now displayed with the game list in the online lobby making it easier to find a session where you'll be able to join and race promptly.
- Host Identification: Within the game lobby the host is now clearly identified by a 'host' icon visible to all players and updated during host migration.
- Boost Exploit: A bug involving the boost system that allowed a player to use boost in an exploitative manner has been resolved.
- Buddy List Size: This has been updated to support up to 50 friends.
- Text Cut-off: When playing in standard definition all messages will now display as intended.
- Improved Stability Online: Online gameplay stability has been improved.
- Audio issues: All known issues with 5.1 / 7.1 surround have been fixed. Audio issues within the front-end have been resolved.
- Player Ranking: Players were found to be ranked incorrectly due to a bug. Because of this all online rankings will be reset and the ranking system should now function correctly. Evolution and Sony apologise for this measure but it will result in a fairer and more stable ranking system for all players.
- Auto-Start: Races will be forced to start after a fixed countdown which should dramatically reduce the waiting times in lobbies. Hosts may delay this countdown up to three times.
- Save Data Corruption: When quitting the game using the PS button it was possible to corrupt the save game data. This will no longer occur.
- Lobby Information: Upcoming track and current lap details will be displayed in lobbies.
- Vehicle Damage: When restarting a single player race during a death camera the damage wasn't always reset at the start of the next race. This has now been resolved.
- Missing Audio: Audio effects were missing from the death camera, these have now been reinstated.
- Name Tags: Added ability to switch the player name tags on / off during online races using a single button press (L1).

great updates, fixing all the issues that needed fixing! lets hope it sticks to it's may release
the first ever online game of motorstorm i played had a glitcher, who managed to teleport and spin into everyoen on the track, destroying them instantly, then teleporting ahead into first place. I was totally appalled at this and I hope this will be fixed.
Please god let it be fixed :)
this is great but what about the 2 new maps we're supposed to get?
Surprising PS3 owners did not mention about all the problems Motostorm is having before this patch ?.
Wot we want from the patch:
- Replays
- Best times ranking for single play
- Split-screen mode for single play
- More tracks
- Faster loading times
~~~FunkYellowMo nkey(PS3 tag)~~~
Oh and universal online play with everyone else: UK/AUS/USA and vice-versa etc... :)
lier no such glitch.
I am sick of people using the boost cheat, you never win, makes the game boring. You can tell when they are cheating when there boosting and there is no flames coming from the vehicle. So I'm happy about the boosting fix and reseting of the ranks is a bonus. Ha-ha! to all those who cheated there way to 80%+ wins, all for nothing!
I have seen it when vehicles spin in circles has they drive too, I think its just a bad connection from that player.
Patch needs: maps, 2 player off/online, play music from HDD and more maps (just playing the tracks in a mirror-image would keep me going).
Man, this is annoying... Basically the only thing I've wanted from them is to have offline multiplayer, lol They need to include that soon. Oh well, at least they'll fix some things...
isn't there already a motorstorm 2 in the making? can't wait, won't be a rushed title like the first motorstorm. like 10 vehicles, 6 tracks? pffft, we got 50gb disk, put more ***** on it...
Some of these issues were already fixed...Why do so many news sites seem to use old changelogs for game updates?
About time they fixed the stuff that should have been in the shipped product.
Given the amounts of updates my PS3 gets every week vs my 360, I'm shocked to say that Sony plays the "buy now patch later" game even better than M$.
It's all just sad... but glad to see that the fixes do *eventually* get done
I agree with 90% of what the new patch is going to do but don't reset my stats!!! I have 1,700 total races and if they reset that it's gonna bum me out, oh well still a good game...
