The next time you start up UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves you will be required to download an update to the game (Japan and Asia regions — your update will be available next week).
Here’s the list of (most of) the changes we made. Some changes have been withheld to protect the innocent.
- Addressed respawn points when the artifact goes out of bounds in the Plunder gametype
- Dynamically adjust the win condition for fewer players during the course of a match
- Added features to deter players from voluntarily leaving during a match
- Added rate limit to “When a Chapter is Completed” Twitter event
- Fixed a display issue during letterboxing
- Fixed Danish Trophy description
- Fixed screenshot utility in standard definition resolutions
- Fixed the “Players Met” list not displaying recent players
- Addressed a variety of Multiplayer connectivity issues
BUT, that’s not all…
With Halloween on the horizon, we wanted to take this spooky occasion to announce that this weekend is also our first ever Double Cash Weekend in UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves. The Double Cash Weekend starts on Friday, October 30, 2009, at 11:00 AM PST and continues until Monday, November 2, 2009, at 11:00 AM PST.
In every match during Double Cash Weekend, you’ll be getting twice the Cash award you normally would for completing typical game actions – not medal-related currency awards – giving everyone a leg up in increasing their Rank for a limited time. That means this weekend is the perfect time to hop on to our Competitive and Co-op Multiplayer modes – whether you’re just a few levels away from the vaunted ‘X’ or this is just your first time online.
A bunch of Naughty Dogs will also be playing this weekend, so be on the lookout for the red Naughty Dog paw next to our PSN ID in the game and feel free to say hi, ask any questions or shoot at our characters. Stay sharp! There might be something spooky around the next corner…
In just about every match that I have played, there is ALWAYS one person that leaves the match early. Not a big deal, but definitely annoying as it plays a factor in the outcome. Hopefully the update will cause quitters to lose rank or money at the very least.
Damn. I wish my sister would stop playing story so I could get online..
Arne, can i add you on PSN?
Good job ND! I love the game and the MP is very addicting. Just wish there would be more maps and skins maybe boosters… Im sure this will be DLC… any word on DLC?
Uncharted 2 crashes my PS3! After 30 minutes to an hour of playing, my PS3 turns itself off and gives me blinking red lights. It’s a 60GB PS3 bought in February after launch.
It’s not an overheating issue and my PS3 is not dying. I’ve been able to play hours and hours of other games (most recently Demon’s Souls and Borderlands) without any type of problem.
It’s just Uncharted 2 that gives me this problem. What can I do?
Skelzor vs. The Dead Explorer
Nice.
I lost connection and did not quit my new penalty is 40k instead of 30 secs WTF? Why am i getting punished for not quitting i did not hit quit i lost connection to playstation network and if i lose connection ingame again i have to lose 40k.. seems like the penalty goes up and up what if i keep losing conenction in game is my penalty going to go up by 500k even tho i’m not hitting start and quit game? This new patch is BS and i don’t like it.. people shouldn’t be punished for losing connection.
Nice! I Can finally take Screenshots on my small SDTV!
Im sure your aware of the horrible problem that occurs when you take a Screenshot, its madness! D=
Thanks for the fix!
Are you guys gonna be doing this stuff a lot? Maybe around all holidays?
Also? Are those red-eyed skelzors available to everyone or are those for ND devs?
We\’ll try to do things often to keep things interesting and evolving in Uncharted 2, but they may or may not be around holidays. Can\’t say for sure.
Regarding Skelzor… you\’ll have to log in to the game to see what we\’ve done.
