On the Gears of War forum, it has been announced that the long-awaited patch for Gears of War will be released tomorrow, January 9, two days before the two free multiplayer maps. It was said that the update should start pushing through the system at some point tomorrow. The list of fixes include:
Fixed aspect ratio distortion when using VGA cable with 4:3 displays at resolutions higher than 640x480
Fixed voice issue with new players joining Player Match games in progress
Players can now get the Achievement for "Dish Best Served Cold" when using Troika turret to kill RAAM
Fixed rare situation where host could loop countdown and never start match
Fixed rare situation where players could get stuck after chainsawing in multiplayer
Reduced Grenade Tag melee distance
Enabled Strict NAT check on host to prevent possible connection issues
Optimized server browser queries to return results more quickly and prevent scroll bars from hiding quality of service icons
Reduced number of possible revives in Execution to match Warzone
Removed host name from Ranked match server browser
Disabled security cameras in Ranked matches
Ranked matches now require balanced teams (3v3 or 4v4)
Increased penalty for quitting a Ranked match to -50 points
Added additional cheat detection code
Additional housekeeping updates
While some of these are welcome (Reduced grenade tag, anyone?), I am really upset that, instead of allowing invites to ranked games which is what should have happened, they have removed the host name on the browse list.
