SOCOM: Confrontation 1.20 Update Incoming
Posted by Seth Luisi
We are happy to announce that the SOCOM: Confrontation 1.20 Update will be released on Wednesday, October 29th, at 1200 GMT/UTC (8am EDT, 5am PDT, 1pm BST, 9pm JST).

The SOCOM: Confrontation 1.20 update addresses the following issues:

* Fixed many issues which would cause the game to crash, hang, disconnect and exit to the PS3 XMB.
* Fixed an issue which would cause large numbers of players in a high player count game to be simultaneously disconnected.
* Fixed an issue which would cause players to be invincible.
* Fixed a physics issue which would cause players to occasionally "warp" around on the map.
* Fixed an issue where a "corrupt save data" message would be incorrectly displayed after updating the game.
* Fixed some player model issues related to team swapping.
* Client/server optimization.
* Fixed an issue where the scope camera had an incorrect offset from the barrel of the gun while prone or leaning/peeking.

For players who have already downloaded and installed the 1.10 update, the 1.20 update is only ~50MB in size. For new players, the size is the 1.10 update plus the 1.20 update which is ~550MB.

The main purpose of this update is to address major stability and playability issues with the game. The stability of the game has been greatly improved with the 1.20 update. There are still a few low frequency issues which we are continuing to look into and will be addressed in a future update.

We are reading player feedback in the forums and will be making future changes to the game based on that feedback. Please keep the feedback coming.

Regards,

SOCOM: Confrontation Online Team

^So basically Socom is a half product

:confused:

WINNING FUCKING ELEVEN 2009 is out

I've never had any d/c problems with my ps3. Its been running flawless in every aspect since I bought it 2 years ago. I have the 60 gig :)

Socom's menu is pissing me off..words are so small and it just feels..awful.

this game reminds me of R6V..where you ahve to wait like 5-10min for players to die if respawn is turned off or if you join a game already in session (which is like 90% of them otu there)

and the default control is WTF?? zoom on dpad? reload on R3? seriously...

slant 6 FTL ...even though this is their first game i hear? they're worse than EA games.

It seems like most people with the original 20/60 gig models are getting what they paid for in terms of reliability and build quality.

I have the 80gig no problems.. sofar?

I agree,, the game is really sloppy made,, they could of done better,, but now I've changed up the controls,, making o button to reload, and R3 to knife.. I've made a custom control to feel like cod 4 / mgo. it doesn't take 5-10min though, depends which game you join or map. I started to play breach yesterday, is pretty fun.

hows the 1.20 patch doing for Socom?

i only played for like 15 mins today to see if i will freeze out on the 16X16 ranked games... but ya,... i didnt play long enough to see if it freezes or boots me off xmb

at least the server load times are like 10 secs quicker now.. but this game still needs couple more patches to smoothen the gameplay..

damn, im almost done the single player on LBP.. i just need to collect more objects for the map editor.. and the server back up online, no more lag. played a bunch of user created levels today.. damn some of them not bad.. this game got soo much potential in the next coming months..

for socom...the nighttime maps are lame as well..the game's contrast is already dark enough and you can't change the contrast..fine so i use nightvision...and NV is horrible in this game = eye gets sore after using it for 3 min. With other games i can last maybe 10min on NV

maybe with the new patch..the game will be 80% complete..just maybe.

which is why I stick with mgo =) MEME expansion is almost out.

thank goodness for the new socom patch

i no longer freeze or get booted off back to the xmb..

still an amazing game.. but they still need to fix the loading times on the menu, and in the game.

im almost done the single player at LBP... servers are up and running smoothly.. u can play any user created levels from the server..

im stuck near one of the last levels where there is a wheel spinning and ur inside, and you have to jump from platform to platform and avoid getting electricuted

damn, the developers does a good job of making some of levels really challenging.. but moving and jumping is still not right.. they need to fix this..

Anyone interested in Valkaria Chronicles? Getting great reviews so far.... exclusive RPGs are rare on PS3 now days

you guys tried out Mirror's Edge...? the demo made it seem pretty good, though rooftops make the game feel a lil bit constrained in one gameplay area...

its nice that devs are coming up with some creative ideas outside of WW2 shooters...
