Orange Box Update Available

If you've tried to play the PS3 version of The Orange Box recently, you may have noticed a newly available patch, version 1.10. This update went live last night and clocks in at 128 MB. We contacted EA to get details on just what this update entails.

The 1.10 patch focuses on fixing problems in Team Fortress 2, including Leaderboard bugs, server and graphics issues, as well as fixing a "memory leak" to improve the stability of Orange Box's single-player modes. Most notable, however, is the fix for a problem many users have recently encountered. Team Fortress 2 players were previously unable to connect to EA servers if they had more then 30 registered friends, but this has apparently been addressed.

The patch is only available in North America at this time, though EA noted that a patch for Europe would arrive shortly. You can find the official list of fixes below:

• Fixed a graphical issue whereby a player would have the explosion effect left on the end of their Rocket Launcher when attempting to Rocket Jump.
• Fixed a memory leak to improve single-player stability.
• Fixed an issue whereby the players name would not appear on the Stats comparison screen.
• We have fixed an issue that would cause the vote tallies to disappear when you viewed the scoreboard between rounds.
• Fixed an online server issue.
• Fixed an issue that caused a crash when a player that wasn't in Division 1 entered your Leaderboards.
• Fixed an issue with players not always being added to the 'Players Met' menu on the XMB.
• Fixed a bug where a player viewing a friend without an EA account would have an empty entry in the friend's Leaderboard.
• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to connect to the EA servers if you had more than 30 friends.
