SOCOM: Confrontation – 1.60 Patch December 10th - Page 33 - Blu-ray Forum

toef · 09-20-2008, 07:10 AM

I finally played a few rounds earlier tonight, and all I can say is wow.

Sometimes I'm used to lag when I forgot I have my BitTorrent client running, and try to go play Warhawk, and wonder why there is a delay to everything I do.

I thought that was the case with SOCOM, so I ran back to my computer, only to realize BT wasn't open, and that's just how bad the SOCOM servers are.

Does anyone know if re-spawning was allowed as an option in any prior SOCOM games? I feel like once it's offered, most people use it, so it makes the "no re-spawn" rooms seem like the outcast rooms. Oh well.

SOCOM Confrontation Public Beta 1.40 Patch

We are happy to announce that the SOCOM Confrontation Public Beta 1.40 Patch will be released on Friday, September 26th, at 1200 GMT/UTC (8am EDT, 5am PDT, 1pm BST, 9pm JST).

The SOCOM Confrontation 1.40 patch addresses the following issues:

Fixed an issue which was causing an abnormally large number of simultaneous kills.
Optimized the Armory so that selecting weapons, attachments and general menu navigation are much faster.
Fixed another issue where you could get stuck in spectator cam when late joining a game.
Fixed an issue where occasionally late joiners would have very low framerate and crash when exiting a game.
Fixed an issue where occasionally late joiners would have no audio.
Statistics improvements. Statistics are now being tracked at the team level and not the player level. This will ensure stats are tracked for dropped and late joining players.
Further improved load times for late joiners.
Fixed several stability issues.

The following changes were made based on user feedback:

Added new burst firing accuracy tuning when moving. You are now more accurate for the initial burst while moving but accuracy deteriorates as you continue to fire more shots.
Scopes are now accurate.
The select screen scoreboard is now exited by pressing the select button.
Improved tiebreaker rules.
New HUD animation to indicate when you are reloading.
Crosshairs now turn grey when your magazine is empty.

We are actively looking into the following issues which are known to exist in the 1.40 patch. These issues will be fixed in a future update:

The select screen scoreboard, round complete and game complete screens appear blank.
Infrequently, some users loose controller functionality for a couple of seconds.

Please note, this patch also adds game logic to limit the number of people who can late join a game to 5 at a time. If more than 5 people attempt to late join the game you receive a "Game Full" error even though there are still slots in the game. This will be improved in a future update.

Also note, the network latency detection has been added back in. We believe that we have now worked out most of the issues with this. Please report in the SOCOM Confrontation PlayStation.com forums if you are seeing the "red X" disconnect icon under normal gameplay conditions.

Regards,
SOCOM Confrontation Online Team

I keep forgetting to give this game another shot. I tend to forget about downloaded games (I forgot I had High Velocity Bowling, and PJM), and I also forgot about this beta thing sitting around.

I think I played it once, for about an hour, and couldn't take it anymore.

Jafo · 10-07-2008, 12:42 AM

New patch is out 1.50

But it broke more than it could have ever fixed, I'm sorry but Slant 6 has failed. An online only game, set to release next week, and this is the best they can do!?

Ascended_Saiyan · 10-07-2008, 01:36 AM

I'm buying the game for the amazing Bluetooth headset ($50 alone unless you get it from Amazon.com). That means I'm paying $10 for the game. It's gonna be fixed at some point anyway. You just can't beat that.

i hope the headset works better than the game,now i cant even connect.

DezNutz · 10-07-2008, 06:49 PM

Servers have been fixed.. beta is working now.

caliblue15 · 10-07-2008, 06:50 PM

i told the guys i was playing with last night it was a server issue.. no one listened..

DezNutz · 10-07-2008, 08:00 PM

finally hearing some talk about the trophies.. kinda weird for a game that has annouced support day, is suppose to be out in a week, and have not heard anything about the trophies till now.

I really hope there are more skill even warhawk length type trophies to get, as I know I will be playing the f**k out of this game.

Copywriter · 10-07-2008, 09:06 PM

So is this looking good or not? I've heard that the play is so-so, graphics are so-so (sub-Warhawk) and there's too many bugs for a game that's about to come out.

The videos on the PS3 (flyover) didn't exactly wet my appetite.

regardless if its good or not I ordered the bundle mainly for the headset. I figured IF I'm gonna pay $45.00 for the individual headset, why not spend $60 and get the headset and a fairly decent game!

I've got a good headset already.

BTW, I've never played Socom, so I have no bias either way.

I wonder if people will actually use the headset in this game. That's one of the reasons why I left Warhawk. Tired of being on teams with no talking and lots of losing as a result.

I enjoy the socom series....and if they don't use the headset for this game...they will most certainly use it when RESISTANCE 2 comes out

Everybody is communicating and talking in the Beta, more than any other game on the PS3, no one ever talks in Warhawk, but in SOCOM everyone does and the sound is clear.

The graphics are pretty good and better than WH, but not COD4 level. The gameplay is good, and IMO it's a very good game, my complaints are the game is freezing and lagging sometimes, though that might be beta issues. Also the leaderboard is kinda messed up and you can't find where you are or how many people there are on the leaderboard, I'll most likely get this game if a buddy of mine buys it also.

Luis_A51 · 10-07-2008, 10:49 PM

Im really looking forward to his game. I havent played a shooter where people actually work together in ages (warhawk, cod4, mgo, etc everyone just does their own thing with no true teamwork)

Im looking forward to getting the headset bundle.

Copywritter, from what I understand the official headset has features that are unique to it. I believe its the only headset that allows you to use voice commands (See the trailer for End War) for example.
