The next time you start up UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves you will be required to download an update to the game.
Here’s the list of (most of) the changes we made. Some changes have been withheld to protect the innocent.
- Addressed respawn points when the artifact goes out of bounds in the Plunder gametype
- Dynamically adjust the win condition for fewer players during the course of a match
- Added features to deter players from voluntarily leaving during a match
- Added rate limit to “When a Chapter is Completed” Twitter event
- Fixed a display issue during letterboxing
- Fixed Danish Trophy description
- Fixed screenshot utility in standard definition resolutions
- Fixed the “Players Met” list not displaying recent players
- Addressed a variety of Multiplayer connectivity issues
BUT, that’s not all…
With Halloween on the horizon, we wanted to take this spooky occasion to announce that this weekend is also our first ever Double Cash Weekend in UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves. The Double Cash Weekend starts on Friday, October 30, 2009, at 6:00 PM GMT and continues until Monday, November 2, 2009, at 6:00 PM GMT.
In every match during Double Cash Weekend, you’ll be getting twice the Cash award you normally would for completing typical game actions – not medal-related currency awards – giving everyone a leg up in increasing their Rank for a limited time. That means this weekend is the perfect time to hop on to our Competitive and Co-op Multiplayer modes – whether you’re just a few levels away from the vaunted ‘X’ or this is just your first time online.
A bunch of Naughty Dogs will also be playing this weekend, so be on the lookout for the red Naughty Dog paw next to our PSN ID in the game and feel free to say hi, ask any questions or shoot at our characters. Stay sharp! There might be something spooky around the next corner…

My game appears to be totally botched after having been updated. It won’t start at all. All other games working fine. All Uncharted 2 data deleted.
If there isn’t going to be a fix, I can only conclude that my game has been quite efficiently destroyed by a single, relatively minor, update. Brilliant.
(I have a 60GB PAL system)

I ended up returning the game for Borderlands & DragonbrainOrigins after finishing it on hard. Stunning visuals & crosseyed females aside-Being sgunted through maps with no sandbox freedom makes for dull (re)play. mp was laggardly, bullets round the corner so, the fact folk on my add list can just show up in-lobby sans invite caused a nasty fracas between 2 uncompatable friends. I lost 1 off my list & it made for an extremelty embarrasing & uncomfortable experience. I found myself needing to rush out of lobbies b4 certain adds might show up. The extremely long wait times b4teamup added more discomfort. A VERY bad call on ND’s part with the open lobbies. I neither like kikking 1 nor losing other groups of friends. Lag was the other issue. Nearly as bad as CoDWaW. Dead with 1-2 body shots yet needing +1 clips HEADSHOTS to gain kills myself. I know mp in new gms need tweaking after release, but I wonder whether mp works for Amongst Thieves. Mind you, anybody still remember a gm called inFAMOUS?

Seriously…. Why didn’t you gujys fix the co-op!!!??? That was the ony thing which I found interessting. I have played a lot of co-op in the beta, AND IT WAS ONLY ONE LEVEL. That shows how cool it was.
BUT, I tried it with the full version. Take a guess? Five times in a row SOMEONE quit the co-op. So… I loose XP and the game quits. Poof.
That is reall F***ing bull****. Sorry, but that made me put the game aside after I finished it. It’s no fun when I have to worry whether someon’s going to quit or not, since I’ll lose all my XP (OK, except for my medal).
Sorry to say so, but I think no it’s too late for me to pick up the co-op again. Since new releases are flooding in already.
PS
Apart from the dissapointed to the *could be* awesome co-op. The singleplayer truly was fenomenal!

You say the problem with my game is not a glitch? Whatever it is it’s rendering the online mode nearly unplayable. It never happened during the hundreds of times I’ve played online before the update and now it happens nearly all the time. It’s annoying because Uncharted 2 is pretty much the only competitive online action game I truly enjoy playing. It’s way better than all those first person shooters, and I just want to be able to play it properly again.

This game was great. AMAZING. And the patch was good too, its a fun little twist to play with different characters. BUT, the $40,000 penalty is preposterous. My connection is less than superb, and twice yesterday I got booted out of my game. I understand maybe a $10,000 penalty when someone quits out of a game ON PURPOSE, but if there is a connection error, what am I supposed to do? I hope such a big company can recognize the difference between a manual quit and a connection error. Now I am cautious to play multiplayer when anyone else in my family is on the internet. This was not a good move, especially with MW2 coming out soon. Hopefully I can coax a response out of ND.

“Added features to deter players from voluntarily leaving during a match”
What a piece of **** that is! “Voluntarily” my ***! I was just in a game then, and my broadband is a bit screwed up to say the least, whenever the phone goes off the router resets itself. So you can guess what happened, phone goes off in the middle of a match and I get disconnected, not voluntarily might I add! So then becuase I get disconnected from the game I lose $40,000! Getting disconnected is NOT voluntary!

It’s sad that there’s only 3 co up levels…i played the demo like crazy so that map most people were probably sick of before even getting the game..and then there was the big disappointment that there’s only 3 friggin co up maps..:s to actually put in a co up but having only 3 levels, i dont get it..the co up is great but 3 maps? c’mon :s It’s pretty much the only mode I play (havent even played the singleplayer yet) but it gets boring fast having to play the same 3 maps over and over (of which one was half the beta..)
The exact reason I still think this game is overrated and has gotten too high scores..I dont even care about the singleplayer…u guys put in a great co up but [DELETED] it up by putting up only 3 maps, GTA4 had 3 co up modes and that game released a year sooner (plus has an open world and all that, so dont tell me its not possible)
thats the only real problem imo..so either bring out some free dlc maps for the co up or keep it in mind for a sequal..imo the whole game should be co up like resi evil 5..

Online is SO broken! WHY does it still take AGES to matchmake? WHY can it not handle host-migration behind the scenes like other game do? Why at the end of a match it takes AGES to “Party up” even when everybody has already left? Amongst the worst online experiences really. “Connection Error”!!!! FIX it Naughty Dog/Sony!

I love this game, I really do but today I’ve not been able to find any players despite the fact it says theres 15000 of them. My connection should be working fine (tested it on Motorstorm – Pacific Rift in between trying to get online with Uncharted and it’s got no problems there). It gets past the connection screen (though a couple times it’s failed even that) but it never manages to find the players it’s looking for.
Now I’m not saying the update had anything to do with screwing up my game but the timing does seem a bit coincidental. Since the update it’s gone from becoming almost unplayable when I’ve actually connected, and now just failing to even get me into a match. I don’t get it. Up until that update installed I had no problems at all.
This is the last video game I’m buying for quite a while (there’s not much else coming out I want on any format until next year’s God of War III it seems) but I’m just depressed that it’s now become so broken I can’t play the multiplayer at all.

The 40,000 penalty is a joke. Are a bunch of people logging new PSN accounts just tog rief and try and make people quit, joining Elimination matches than at the start throwing a grenade and team killing.
….and we are forced to let them team kill us because if we leave we get a -40,000 penalty.
Way to punish the victim.

Wow lots of complaining going on in this comment section!
@ Stonesthrow, no offence but people like you really annoy me! There is a little word in the English dictionary called ‘genre’ it’s definition is ‘one of the categories, based on form, style, or subject matter, into which artistic works of all kinds can be divided.’
So when I see someone complain about Uncharted 2 being overrated only to follow that sentence with things like “I dont even care about the singleplayer” and “I havent even played the singleplayer yet” it really get’s my back up! Uncharted 2 is not in the open-world genre, it’s a cinematic action/adventure game that by design follows a linear single-player narrative (and there are a lot of fans of single-player games, just like there are a lot of fans of every genre) – and it is by far the best example of it’s genre by a country mile, hence the high review scores.
It is ridiculous to criticise the game as overrated when you haven’t even played it! You’re basing your opinion on only having played what could be considered as a bonus feature of the main game… You not liking the genre doesn’t mean it’s a bad or overrated game.

I apologise for my nasty comment. Here’s what I think, it’s a bad feature to add. I worked hard for my rank just for it to be thrown away, I dont have the best connection and I do logout but why punish for that? please if you read this could you sort it out? (Note I would NEVER sell/trade Uncharted I were exaggerating over my anger) Anyway’s I’m off cheery bye : )

Since the character selection went back to normal now halloweens over and the double cash is over too, I haven’t experienced that standing still problem in all the games I’ve played. Had one ‘connection error’. Dunno what that was about but it only happened the once.
