Kaos releases Homefront multiplayer patch

Kaos Studios has deployed a patch for the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of Homefront in an effort to flatten out some of wrinkles in the game’s multiplayer component.

Users have recently been reporting numerous freezing issues with the console version of the modern-day blaster, which have affected both single player and online play. An Xbox 360 fix hasn’t been released as of yet, though the firm’s promised an update is in the pipeline.

"THQ and Kaos are committed to supporting Homefront post-launch, and we are actively investigating all reported bugs and issues," a statement reads.

"We have already dramatically increased server capacity to meet the unprecedented demand, which is addressing many of the connection issues we saw yesterday.”

"Our data shows that that the vast majority of Homefront players are enjoying multiplayer without issue, however we are tracking and addressing a number of known issues on both PS3 and 360."

Details on the PS3 patch can be seen below.

– Fixes for intermittent problems accepting friend invites and joining friends’ games
– Several fixes for reported freezes
– Fixes related to joining matches, round transitions, and proper behavior on the match recap screen
– Additional bug fixes, including inaccuracies in ping meter, and player hosted servers not properly pulling score/time limit settings
