New Wipeout HD patch

[BlackReign]

Hello all.

I noticed that the 2.5 patch seems to be available now. I saw another thread on it with only one comment but I thought I'd post my findings with the patch here since this thread was longer/older.
When I started the game it asked me to acknowledge and accept the new 2.5 patch and stated it would correct the following.

WipEout HD Patch 2.50 information

- Spectate mode fixed
- AI firing weapons bug fixed
- Incorrect weapon damage bug fixed
- Various Bug Fixed

Strangely the game did not prompt me to download anything. I received several PSN messages from other players saying the same thing.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have corrected much. I still cannot access online play with my regular PSN account. I played 4 racebox races against the AI on elite and they did fire at me in one race. However, it was only twice in the same race with cannons. I was also the only ship fired on and the AI didn't fight each other. Weird. Anyone else in the US have the similar issues since the new 2.5 patch or success with it? I got a bunch of PSN messages from people who saw my youtube vidz detailing the issues with the 2.4 patch saying the 2.5 patch hasn't corrected anything.
