SOCOM: Confrontation Beta Goes Bad, Gets Patch
Developers want their beta to be popular, but just how popular does it have to be for the experience go sour? User demand was to blame for rampant problems in the recently released multiplayer beta of SOCOM: Confrontation, the PS3 installment in the series.
“Due to overwhelming demand for the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Public Beta, we are experiencing load related issues,” reads a statement on the game’s website. “These issues are causing abnormal latency, disconnects, long load times, login errors and community features such as clans and stats not functioning correctly (or at all).”
They, however, are not sitting on their asses, but have actually gotten around bringing out a patch to update the game to v1.10. It adds support for dedicated servers in Europe and Australia; a number of stability and late joining issues have also been addressed.
