It's entirely natural that there will be launch hiccups for a game as large as Killzone 2. It appears, however, that Guerrilla Games is dedicated to fixing those issues as soon as possible.

The first Killzone 2 patch will be released today, in order to fix a bug some users are having accessing the game's online servers. This patch should remedy the "-931 error" many players are experiencing while trying to boot up the game's multiplayer mode.

"There will also be a new patch released in the next two hours to hopefully fix this [problem]," writes Guerrilla Games Producer Seb Downie. "In the mean time, stay cool and normal service will resume shortly."

If you've already picked up your copy of Killzone 2, online play should now be functional. Hooray!

    Amazon's launchday shipping supposedly guarantees I'll have it tomarrow, we'll see just how true that is.

    this is an awesome developer, releasing patches before the games come out, yah i know it has been out in Europe for a little while, but still before the game comes out, /6 takes months to release their patches

    I couldn't get on at all before 4pm GMT, no error messages or anything, then after that it has worked seamlessly.

    Online is insane, been playing it in prep for my clan. It really is mayhem... and I love it.

    But party feature is needed. Very much so.

    Ordered mine from Play.com Tuesday night, recieved it yesterday :) Haven't had much time to play on it, particularly online as i was getting this problem, but the patch seems to have fixed it, and the little online i have played is brilliant. The gunfights are seriously intense!

     I told myself that I had a huge back log of games but once I saw it on the store shelf I couldn't resist. 

    I played the SP for about an hour and it's awesome. I really get the feeling the Helghast want me dead which I've never had in another game.

    I haven't had any problems with the online mode, but the story mode has crahed 3 times so far, and 2 of those times its saved the game when its crahed so when I reloaded the save game it would load up like it had crashed before.

    @23 I like those little freezes - it gets me ready for what is around the corner ;)

    @29 Not had any problems like that & I've nearly played through it. Could you just restart from last checkpoint or did you have to start level again?

    • 7:46am GMT - February 27th, 2009

    Yep..best launch MP experience on any platform .. only had a few problems but I have been able to play online since day one.. good work GG!

     Great. Now I get to download a patch with the PS3's horrendously slow download times before I can even try the game for the first time.

    I mean, it took nearly two hours to download flower.  like 640 MB.  I can download that same file on my PC (same internet connection) it 20-30 minutes.

    What gives?

    The single player game is pretty average overall.  This game really shines in the multiplayer.  However, the control problems in the demo are even worse in multiplayer.  It feels like the game has low framerate or something... it is not remotely easy to aim well, especially in multiplayer games.  I have tried setting up my controls better and there is no perfect setting.  You either end up too slow or too fast.  I hope they fix that.

    Not buying this game . not until they fix the controller setup. running and moving with the same stick is not fun. Allow me to run by pressing down one stick while moving with the other like in call of duty 4. everything else is perfect.

    I wasn't impressed with this game at all. Cool atmospheric effects, but average besides that. I can't stand FPS games with the horrible analog sticks on the PS controller. Give us keyboard and mouse support for games sony! There is no reason not to when both work on the OS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would attract tons of the PC gamers and that would mean way more sells.

    Now if only they could fix the online controls so that it doesn't feel like I'm playing a drunk mong with no hands wielding a howitzer while running through Jelly I'll be happy. At least I can fix the bauked controls in solo mode. Unless they patch it so I can do the same online and make...well... less rubbish I'll be happy. Looks good, plays like a dog!!!
