Media Molecule's Obsession With Cheese
Posted by Danny Lilley on Jan 27, 2009 - 11:53 am

Yes that's right, cheese. Don't worry, we'll get to that in a minute. As you may have noticed yesterday, a new patch (1.08) was up for grabs for LittleBigPlanet. This doesn't have any major fixes or in fact any fixes. What it does add though is two nice presents in the form of costumes to celebrate Chinese New Year.

Little Big Planet - Chinese Outfits

Ok now onto the cheese. It seems Media Molecule have decided to name their next batch of game fixes in the guise of cheeses. Perfectly normal right? Anyway these are a whole collection of patches to sort out level making bugs, adding new creative abilities and finally the lag issues. Hurrah! Full details after the jump.

Edam contains a set of bug fixes and is currently in testing. We are hoping for this to be out into the world by mid February (fingers crossed). Specifically the fixes are:

  • Failed to save profile’ message not being displayed when a users profile is full.
  • Object Capture Bug: switch connectors being deleted when an object is captured.
  • Failed to load profile issue :where the user is thrown out to the XMB due to a texture that is not   registered in their profile being present in their pod.
  • Text not displaying in the text chat window.
  • Slow rewind due to moderation check.
  • Save file corruption which caused the game to crash when placing any object in an emitter in any level.

Cornish Yarg contains many fabulous things, most excitingly new creative abilities – woo!! This will be a big delivery and so we want to make sure that it gets to you without any bugs and so we are planning very extensive testing which may involve some of you guys (more details out soon). This has only just started the testing process which usually takes 6-8 weeks minimum. Further announcements will be made in February.

Leerdammer: This delivery will really help people who are experiencing issues with lagging/packet loss. This improvement is still in development, which means it will be out after Cornish yarg but we aren’t sure when, rest assure Amy is hard at work. Announcements will be made throughout feb.
