Forget all of the other patch nonsense — Neversoft and Activision/Red Octane have issued a free update forGuitar Hero III, which should now be available on Xbox 360 (Worldwide) and the Playstation 3 in North America.
While it would have been hilarious if the update include support for theRock BandFender Stratocaster peripherals, that’s sadly not the case. The updates and changes are as follows:
Improve Online Quick Match results and reduce “Failed to Connect to Server” messages.
Introduce calibration screen improvements, helping users with high lag AV systems, and Playstation 3 users with Dolby Digital enabled.
* Enable the Hyperspeed cheat to work in online games.
- Include various stability improvements and fixes.
European and Australian PS3 owners might have to wait awhile — the update has been submitted to Sony, so it should just be a matter of time before it goes live.
