AVP Console Patch Updates

SEGA have released information on their patch updates for AVP. This one gears to the console versions of the game and is said to be released by end of April, or around that time. No solid date has been set so far. Below is what the patch is said to include:

PS3

1. Ranked match lobbies will no longer end after every match.
2. Fixed XP being incorrectly affected by offline play (though only in the local stats; this will be corrected next time you connect to multiplayer).
3. Fixed other players sometimes appearing to have the wrong weapon or continuing to fire indefinitely after dying.
4. Fixed rare issue where players would be temporarily invisible.
5. Enhanced control over skill-based matchmaking and tweaked logic to prevent a wide range of player “skills” causing no joinable matches to be found.
6. Fixed rare crash caused by grenade special FX.
7. Fixed the failure of a single client to join a game causing all other clients to be disconnected.
8. Improved team balancing logic and fixed some cases where it wouldn't be done at all.
9. Balanced Predator Smart Disc and Plasma Caster weapons.
10. Fixed clients not always being correctly notified that the game had ended.
11. Fixed the lobby timer not always displaying correctly on clients.
12. Fixed a Predator in multiplayer cancelling their lock-on causing lock-on to be cancelled for all Predators in the game.
13. Fixed stat corruption that would occur on clients if the host of a multiplayer game suddenly disconnected during level load.
14. Added some code to prevent corrupt stats from being uploaded.
15. Fixed user rank being incorrectly refreshed in the profile
