New Wipeout HD patch

[Archon]

Do you guys not have patch 2.50? I could have sworn I updated to it around March, and when I go online and check the News tab it details the updates for patch 2.50. Maybe it was released in North America but not elsewhere? Either way, online seems stable and Racebox works great. I can't check the Records without my Playstation freezing, though. That's the one thing I want. It's disheartening to break an old record and not be able to verify my progress . Still, I'm optimistic. I've rarely touched this game since November but had a great session tonight. This really is the best racing game I've ever played.

No, the release notes were put out prematurely. 2.50 will be released sometime this month by the sound of things

[Hellfire_WZ]

Patch 2.50 is ready, it will be available within the hour

Just Downloaded it.

"Wipeout HD 2.50 Patch Information:

Spectate mode fixed
All firing weapons bug fixed
Incorrect weapon damage bug fixed
Various bug fixes"


EDIT:
Online rank reset to 1 for everybody it seems.
Second lobby I went to join just froze, had to restart the game (might be a coincidence, not sure)
All lobbies are shown as being US hosted, despite no US players being visible
Leaderboards not updated
2 restarts now, another lobby failed

Might be worth waiting before DLing this

J'ai vû une personne Français dans mon lobby aujourd'hui!

Maybe we can finally play with Europe?

May be the only benefit this update has, aswell as crossplay anyway :L

[Hellfire_WZ]

Guys, there are always teething issues online when a new patch is rolled out. Give it a while and wait for everyone to update.

[SoA_Booney]

leaderboards work! :L

[Frailavi]

Leaderboards have worked for me for awhile now. (USA)

I'm also currently racing against Flaflasat for the first time in forever. It's exciting to be racing someone who can beat you every time you make a mistake again, despite my hatred for weapons.

[PaulDuggan]

Have the global records been like that for a while?

[slow-train]

leader boards are even more ridiculous than b4 the so called fkn update!!!!! what is the point of keeping this game alive if all we can do is slog each other online? seems pointless to me ; (

[JFthebestJan]

wtf. im speechless , why destroying a game that was the absolute non+ultra PS3 game? it's totally bullshit now! BRs don't work correctly now . the so-called leaderboards are even more ****ed up then b4 lol

if i would deliver such terrible work, my boss would kill me! BIGGEST disappointment in gaming history

[Azurooth]

Since i installed this update my ps3 has crashed 3 times within 3 hours of gameplay. And im either having a bad racingday or something is different. I race so bad, can't pull off certain brs. Have they canged the racing physics somehow? O.o And the ranks being reset really makes me sad.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Yeh, the leaderboards are still screwed. #1 with a time of 0.00.00 and a best lap of -0.00.01? Yeh, I don't think so. Oh, and guess what? My online rank has been reset to 1.

I never thought I'd say this, but **** this game. It was once brilliant, but now it's been tarnished with a brush of mediocrity and incompetence.

[JFthebestJan]

yep, u r correct , they changed the physics . it's so annoying that i deleted wipeout from my HDD.

it's official now SONY retired JF and much more , if not all elite players

[BlackReign]

Wow. I haven't even downloaded the patch yet but hearing this makes me not want to. This totally sucks. I don't understand why they would screw with this game it was great and didn't need any tweaks. It's also one of the reasons that I bought a PS3 on launch day. If this patch isn't solving the problems it should've have been rolled back.

[Light Buster]

If this is true I better back off from HD for a bit until I know it is safe to come back.

[DrMannevond]

Just got the patch and tried a few races.. Leaderboards are still borked. Spectator mode is still broken. My rank has been reset to 1.
So, Dear Studio Liverpool : Take whoever is responsible for your network code out back and put them out of their misery. And stop promising us things you clearly :
a) Have no intention of actually doing, or
b) Are too incompetent to actually fix.

The most annoying thing is that Wipeout HD is one of the best games to come out for years - DESPITE the fact that anything involving "online" is more or less broken.

[Hellfire_WZ]

I've updated and have had absolutely no issues whatsoever... Handling does appear to be ever so slightly heavier but nothing I find distracting, and didn't have any problems with barrel rolls. Played both online and off, all was well. Leaderboards looked as they should. Only things I've noticed are the rank reset and 99% of the servers seeming to be US based. Very strange if you guys are having problems of that magnitude

horrible news

maybe someone will also post at the eu playstation forum
