ModNation Racers is indeed a good game, however, the game was plagued with loading issues. Have no fear, the patch that solves that problem is finally here.

The next time the player boots up the game while connected on the PlayStation Network, an update will be prompted, allowing the player to download the patch. The patch that is currently available not only fixes the loading issues but it also addresses some of the other issues as well. This includes adding a casual difficulty setting for gamers who are having a hard time with the game.

Please take note that some of the players might not receive the patch right away. It all depends on when the DNS to the PlayStation 3 refreshes. Some players may get it right away while others may have to wait for a few more hours.

I haven't downloaded it yet, just got home 10 minutes ago. Can anyone comment on the loading times?

I want a definition of "fixed".

this is defiantly good news

just downloaded it!

Yes the loading is better now and you can get in career without going into the modspot now.

you still feel the loading exist, but its not going to get you off your seat and make a sandwish

Well... i downloaded the patch and tried... The good is that we can go to the career without going to ModSpot(Already finished, so its OK XD) and yea... the loadings aren't that bigger... but they still annoy me .__.

Apparently it reduces load times by about 30%

not bad need to DL it in a bit

the load time are still horrible maybe 10sec or less faster not that great considering some load times are over a minute but letting you skip the intro is a nice tough
