It's been a while since people started to become able to download the third patch for Universe at War. The means to download it are still obscure. If you tried Live, like I did, it is really a tough mission. I wasn't lucky to download it with it. After some minutes, the game exited abnormally with no warning whatsoever. LIVE is a plague, isn't it? If you did a fresh install of the game, you must have the patch by now. If you didn't, download it from this link and run it.


The third patch is faster for those who have multi core machines. There are many ballance changes and you can play against the lame and n00b XBox360 players if you have a gold (*cough* paid *cough*) LIVE account. Apparently, regardless of all efforts from Petroglyph to make the game easier to console players, PC players still have many advantages over them, specially when dealing with unit groups (numbering them, etc). The mouse is much quicker, efficient and flexible than a joystick analog pad, let's be honest. The full patch change list is located HERE.



Finally, remember, download the patch HERE. The fan opinions on this patch are quite mixed. Users reported a faster game, but there are still a lot of bugs to be fixed in upcoming patches. Some other users reported additional multiplayer sync issues with the game... probably because of the multi-core thing, which considerably increases the complexity of the multiplayer. I'm sure Petroglyph is already working in a newer patch for the game.

Yea, I know. Microsoft made LIVE free in the end of july (after my news post above )
