Call of Duty 4-patch is in de maak

Call of Duty 4 is al ongeveer een week uit, en verschillende gamers hadden wat te klagen over de game. Voor sommigen doet het multiplayer gedeelte het niet. Dit wordt nu verholpen.

De Xbox 360- en de PlayStation 3-versie krijgen beiden een aparte patch. De PlayStation 3-versie heeft namelijk andere problemen dan de Xbox 360. Zoals het port-probleem, bij de PlayStation 3 moet je twee ports open zetten, terwijl je bij de Xbox 360 maar één port hoeft open te zetten. Wij citeren Infinity Ward:

PlayStation 3
The first patch will be a Optimized Connection Patch, First the troubleshooting, those of you experiencing connection issues should check your router and make sure the following ports are OPEN:

Port:
3075 UDP
3074 UDP

This is the cause of why your Xbox 360 may work online, but your PS3 would not, as the Xbox 360 uses Port: 3074 UDP which is default open for Xbox Live compatible routers, however the PS3 version is using BOTH Port: 3075 (which is default closed for the majority of routers) and 3074 which should be default open.

Please ensure your router has 3075 UDP and 3074 open, information on how to open ports on your router should be found in your individual router's manual or website. This is a temporary solution, the optimized connection patch will fix this automatically once it's released.

Now for the Optimized Multiplayer updates, we've taken a lot of your community feedback and have been working on a patch for the PS3 version which we plan to release once complete, no ETA on when it will come out as it has to go through certification with Sony, however the update will address and add the following:

Identify party by Background Color (in Lobby)
Optimized Server selection for first match for better connections
