Killzone 2 *Official* Upcoming fixes

[gino]

Hi folks,



Boost

we've identified and fixed the bug to do with the boost medal not being awarded. It will go into a patch we are working on at present, but there is a workaround in the mean time to get it. Simply ensure that you are the Game Creator rather than client and you'll be awarded it.



Network Errors/Honor Ranks

We are also looking at fixing a good bunch of the network errors and are looking into the complaints about the Honor Ranks as well as a couple of other bits and pieces. We'll provide a list of fixes when we are close to releasing the patch.



Bots

We're working on a permanent solution for the bots stat padding and have some internal solutions that we're going to work on implementing. We'll let you know what those are when we've got the patch together and the solution implemented.

We will NOT be wiping ALL stats and padders will be looked at individually by the moderators.



www.kz.com

www.killzone.com is being sorted out today to deal with the massive traffic its been facing and hope to have some long-term solutions in place shortly.

The stats are currently empty on the site and will be repopulated today.



Controller Issues

We have not stopped looking into the complaints and will see what we can do about it. Any possible changes will have to be carefully implemented and tested before being deployed though.



Charge disarming

We have identified the issue where sometimes the C4 charge in Search and Destroy will not disarm. Will be fixed with the next update.



Shotgun Aim Assist

Investigating the problem and will patch it up.



Clan Games

Sometimes the clan that does not turn up for a match is awarded the win under specific circumstances. Will be patched ASAP.



Battle Replay for Map 8 - Corinth Crossing

The BR on www.killzone.com is not quite right and will be fixed soon.



Ignore list

Was found not to be functioning correctly. Will be fixed in the next patch.



Crashes

Crash when using Saboteur disguise in certain situations. Will be fixed in the next patch.

Infrequent crash when trying to start a game with an empty game name. Will be fixed soon.



Medic/Assassination

There is an issue with the Assassination target HUD icon displaying when playing as a Medic. Investigating and will be fixed.



Thanks and apologies if I am not responding to all questions, PMs and threads. There are simply not enough hours in the day to help all of you out and I have to work on the issues themselves. So please stay calm and sensible and everything will get fixed up soon. As you can see we've fixed up a bunch of the problems you have encountered as well as a couple more you might not be aware of. The important thing is to be patient. Any patches have to be carefully implement to ensure that no additional issues are introduced.

Gah, I don't think there is anything wrong with the controls. I hope they leave them alone.

[SleeperAgent]

Controls are fine. Sluggishness of movement is what would need to be fixed. IMO of course.

I see what you mean about the sluggish movement, but I don't believe its a bug as much as intended result.

First off, Nice Busey picture lol.

Secondly, I really hope they intended the motion to be like COD and they fix it like that. Everything just feels to slow.

[groovyone]

I hope it isn't like COD. Why do we need another clone? I think it feels 'heavy' more than slow, like you'd be weighted down from your gear and the terrain is not like running across a football field.

[Mr. J]

There is nothing wrong with the controls at all. I prefer them the way that they are!

[Monkey]

Good lord, I hope they don't dumb this game down to COD4 levels. KZ2 has set the new standard, the last thing I want is to de-evolve to Cromagnum controls.

Good to see they are fixing other issues (I haven't experienced any yet).

Man I love this game

[SleeperAgent]

I'm removing myself from all KZ2 threads. Obviously there needs to be a POSITIVE thread for them, and a NEGATIVE thread for those of us that get hated out of the current thread.

They even addressed it with their incoming patch so OBVIOUSLY I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

Just to clarify, they said they're looking into it, but that it may take a while. I think it's safe to assume that it's not coming in this patch.

Please stand down both of you .

Well lets start off by saying overall A+ work but it’s the odd decision here and there that make little sense that keep it from perfection.

1- MOTION CONTROLS SUCK-every game that uses them outside flow have been awful. Allow me to turn them off or just delete them. Push o to turn then pressing the shoulders like locoroco is enough. Or just push o and it happens.

2-There needs to be full customization like in resistance :fom and resistance 2.

3-I love the push to scope then go about shooting and then push again to go back to normal view but i wish cover was like that because you’ll be using it often and i don’t want to hold a button down to remain in cover i want to push to go in cover stay there all i want and attack then press the same button to get out of cover.

Buttons i found poorly laid out : attack /close combat,run on l3?! I’d have put close combat on O ,run on L1 turn off horrid motion crap and run cover like zoom so you didn’t
need to waste time holding the button to stay down.

These are very simple fixes because in ratchet you could turn OFF motion crap and in resistance you could fully customize controls to your liking and just add a box that i can check to have a toggle cover as most anything other than gas or guns shouldn’t need to be held down for continued use

At least twice a day in multiplayer I have to reset my system.

It is getting worse as time goes on it seems, or maybe it is just more frustrating as time garbles along...




I hope this is in the works for the next patch, because it makes it a real PITA when you play a match for 30 minutes and it freezes right before it ends


Edit to say that it must be hard to figure out, because I dont remember it happening much in the beta I was in... So good luck to GG

[dk3dknight]

Freezes.. hmm never experienced that myself not even once.

Im sorry your having your time with killzone 2 robbed for you, I hope the best for you.

All I am doing, to be ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, is crying about wasting my time, and having no record to prove how much time I have wasted!



good thing no on can see my TV watching and sitting on my arse trophies. I would be platinum!

I was trying to find a way to be positive and not sound like a butt.. but I failed me thinks..

I hope the problem is resolved and many platinums fall your way.

I had the same feeling when NFS came out. Then I get to work the next day and said to some other people that have the game that it freezes all the time, only to find out that I was the only one having the problem. It turns out that my original 60gig was in the process of sh**ing the bed and I purchased a new 80gig, problem solved. Too much dust in the old 60gig so I have to send it in to Sony for a repair.

It is the individual servers.

Everyone freezes at the same time.

How do I know?

1. My clan all has the same problems
2. when it happens everyone with a mic says "what the F. Are you serious" before they cut out.

It lasts a good 10 seconds before the mics get cut off. So we talk about it.

in other words, not my system (I obviously first thought it was )

[Another_Dude]

That sucks.

I've played every day since launch on MP and haven't frozen once.
