The patch will affect US versions of the game more than the European version as the latter had many of these fixes added to the retail version, thanks to the two month delay. Notable fixes include the VOIP feature (so important, it's worth mentioning twice), mod adding/downloading (we're assuming this means we can have more than one mod on our memory stick at once?) and plenty more miscellaneous features. For the full list check after the break.
US ONLY
- Made compatible with Euro version (both are patched to the same level)
- Fixed reversed ping sorting in server browser
- Fixed some rare crashes (shutting down, saving with low HD space, AI, etc)
- Fixed a client crash while connecting to server while server it switching maps
- Minor rewordings of various messages
- Fixed mutator mods to not be always loaded, only load mutators when needed
- Added mod import verification for inter-mod package name conflicts
- Fixed weapon/effect sorting in DM-Gateway snow
- Fixed extraneous "Player" entries in campaign scoreboard
- Fixed some getting stuck and outside the world bugs
- No longer display "Player is on red/blue" messages in campaign
- Fixed a Torlan bot pathing bug
- Fix for too many custom characters causing texture corruption
- Keyboard jump now does Smart Jump
- Fix for tilt controlling player sometimes
- Removed Warfare Score Limit of 0 in UI
- Disabled 3d sound positioning on mission briefing sounds
- Fixed exploits with ViewNextPlayer in rare cases
- Fixed some HUD positioning bugs
- Fixed a Darkwalker AI bug
- Fixed some teleporter timing bugs
- Fixed low-bandwidth, large player count connectivity
EURO AND US
- Mods now on root of memory device, can download easier from PS3 web browser
- Fixed VOIP quality issues
- Fixed some headset connection issues
- Added support for full character mods (heads/premade whole characters)
- No longer need to reboot after importing a character mod to see it in menus
- DLC no longer acts like a user mod (being listed in MyContent and causing disable mod crash dialog)
- Fix for bootup and import slowdown with many mods installed
- Add a VOIP icon when VOIP is active (button held down)
- Fixes for corrupted the auto-mod-download cache
- Fix for flickering auto-download text
- Fix for getting stuck in multiplayer menu if you get in before gamespy connects
- Fixed a mod problem with switching between mod and shipping maps with clients teleporting randomly
- Fixed a mod problem with multiple gametype mods installed, only first one imported would work
- Fixed Leviathan deploy icon
- Bots now respect players feigning death (depending on bot skill level)
- Bots now respect sandstorm "blindness"
- Fix for bots picking linkgun mode

no x-box user here smart guy/girl, i just hated the game, it felt like i was playing the game through syrup. there's much better multi-player games IMO out there. This game to me was infuriating. I was an unreal fan back in the day, it just didn't feel like it transitioned well to me on the console, it feels dated. I'd rather boot up quake 3 then play this again.

Go write down some more Wii-Wii friend codes for your joke of an online network instead of posting your blasphemy.
Damn jealous fan boys.

don't include me as a fanboy there mein bratwurst. if anything i'm a sony fanboy. i've allways hated anything to do with microsoft. now don't get me wrong if i win an xbox i'll definitely play it, i just wouldn't buy one. I do own a wii, but it's pretty much been gathering dust since i got the ps3. it's a decent system, i just don't think that the developers have quite gotten the grasp of implementing the motion controls into the game, so most games feel gimmicky. I love how on this site if you don't like a game, you are automatically a xbox fanboy. It's rather retarded. we all have our opinons, and mine is that this isn't a good game, it's not to my taste. I'd probably love it if i had it on a computer, but alas i have a mac, (and have been one for over 10 years) so i don't really get to do alot of pc gaming.

wii wii? Oh so funny! So funny I FORGOT TO LAUGH.
You moan about fanboys, then make fanboy comments yourself.
Anyway, glad they are fixing the mod import process (the fact you had to do one at a time really annoyed me, especially since ive got to reimport all my downloaded maps thanks to having to get a replacement Ps3 due to a disc drive problem)

My apologies, Jah... that wasn't meant towards you.
Ian, so funny you forgot to laugh? What are you? 10 years old? My comment wasn't really a fanboy comment.
Sure, I own a PS3, but I am hardly a fanboy. I just recently enjoyed Metroid Prime 3 and Twilight Princess (best game ever!) on Wii. Just thinking of "friend codes" makes me die a little inside though.

I could care less about all these fixes, it was the horrible lag that ruined this game for me. And before anyone points a finger, my connection is perfect with Warhawk, COD4 or any other online game. I think I played this game maybe 6 times but couldn't overcome the stupid lag problem.

I had that problem when I chose quick match. It always chose servers with horrible connections. Just pick a server with a ping lower than 250 and you will have no lag at all.

You know if Epic spent half the time on the Unreal Engine as they do with Gays of War, it might actually live up to it's legacy.

Finally. Even with all the problems that plagued the game I still enjoy it more than COD4. Currently ranked 9 on the leaderboards for UT3
