SCEE Release MotorStorm 1.2 Patch Details News

Bug fixing and an expanded Buddy List to be added in the next few weeks...
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has revealed a list of fixes and updates making up the 1.2 patch for MotorStorm, which will be heading to PlayStation3s within the next few weeks.
The list of over a dozen issues, from simple bug fixes to added features, include the likes of expanding the number of people in a player's Buddy List to fifty, and resolving an issue where save game data is corrupted when using the PS button to quit out.
The complete list is as follows:
- 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).
