Fat Princess Getting Another Candle for Her Cake
The creators of the popular PSN title Fat Princess, Titan Studios, have announced that yet another patch is in the works. The last patch was released only days ago and fixed a plethora of connection issues, in addition to helping helping balance the overall experience. Today, Titan Studios posted their plans for the upcoming Fat Princess patch.
Speaking of Scoreboards
As all but 1,000 of you are no doubt aware, the scoreboards are currently limited to the top 1,000 players. We are working with Sony to have this cap removed, so all players can see their score. Just to give fair warning, this will happen with a future update and when it does, all scores will be reset to zero. This will allow all players to be on the boards and in the race. BEFORE ANYONE FREAKS OUT: We are working on a way of doing this that will allow you to retain your unlocked Get Fabulous options. K, NOW FREAK OUT.To the top 1,000 – You rock. We’re sorry we have to do this, but we’re confident that you’ll recapture your rightful place at the top.
To everyone else – Those cheating bastard AoE exploiters will now be in your sights. Crush them.
Just a little humor folks… Thanks in advance for seeing this as an opportunity to legitimately prove your skillz. No word on timing yet.
Disappearing Princess
We need your help! We’re unable to actively reproduce the disappearing princess bug. If we can’t reproduce it, we can’t fix it. Yes, we’ve all experienced it, and we think it usually involves the catapult or destructible walls, and it may not happen unless the host has migrated. Unfortunately, this is one of those things that requires a wicked cocktail of factors in order to manifest, and (usually) fortunately, in the safe, protected confines of the Titan Studios world HQ, said wicked cocktail does not exist.Senseless rhetoric aside, we would like to appeal to you, the community to help us track her down. If you are in a game, and the princess disappears, we would greatly appreciate it if you could take a photo or screen grab of the mini-map, the score board, and the location on the map where she is supposed to be, including the UI, describe the circumstances under which it happened, and send it all to:
FatPrincess@TitanStudios.com
Please write a Fat Princess is Missing subject line. Feel free to be clever. Anyway – the person or people that give us the info that help us track her down will get special mention. Maybe something more.
Warrior Tweak
With the noted exception of Boko577, the warrior is not quite crushing enemies as much as we’d like. There’s been a lot of discussion and consideration, and we’ve decided to tweak the warrior a bit to restore her (or his! – see how PC that was?) glory in the Fat Princess ecosystem. We’ll detail the changes at a later date. No word on timing.Sony Europe Patch
Word ’round the campfire: Coming very soon…!

Google NAT Type 2 and get your router/PS3 settings straight. Will help you in the long run.

@The80s
Are you having connection issues? It’s probably due to either your internet or router.

Hope they can keep the “get fabulous” options. it’s really stupid if they can’t restore this when they do the stats wipe.

Yeah, my connection is already NAT 2, my PS3’s in DMZ and I don’t have any problem playing any other game (bought/rented, retail or PSN). I even factory-resetted my router but to no avail. I’ve posted about it in about every forum I know but nobody knows what the issue’s all about.
For some reason, Fat Princess and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood are the only games I can’t play online. I’ll always get the same “Couldn’t connect to server” or “Couldn’t connect to that particular host” messages. It’s so annoying! I wish one of you guys could help me!

You’ve never once played online? Have you tried creating your own match?

**“Just to give fair warning, this will happen with a future update and when it does, all scores will be reset to zero.”**
Now does this wipe out evey stat. I don’t want to loose my 900 + kills, 12 escorts, and 38 wins. Those trophies are gonna take awhile and I don’t want start over.
But I will if I have to I guess.

@Kwiet Storm
Yes, I did try creating a match but nobody joined. I ended up playing with bots.

When you create your game send invites to people you are in contat with and then you can see if they are having trouble joining and then you can eliminate that option, and have you tried to delete the game and redownload and install it? Who knows if it will help but couldn’t hurt to try

isn’t that in a rumored firmware update?

@The80’s;
Have you tried like Jaxx377 suggested to delete the game and redownload, people in BF1943 had this problem when they downloaded the demo and then updated to the full game. Once you buy the game you can delete and reinstall anytime. Also if that does not work try reseting the PS3 file system back to factory defaults since this will rebuild the file database if an OS file has been corrupted by a game and causes you problems.

This has been one of the funniest patch updates I’ve read in a while.
First of all when you do the email for the missing Princess I’m sure they’ll be very tickled if you say something about Chuck’s Mom.
Example “Dog Ate Chuck’s Mom”
or
“Chuck’s Mom is now on Milk Cartons Everywhere”
If you do not know what this means, well.. you probably never will unless you internet search or listen to the older Playstation Nation Podcasts. Basically it involves a boy named chuck, his rated R mom, and many other people, with lots of alchohol, and a running joke ever since (until the hosts claimed to get tired of it and are trying to retire it)
Anyway I laughed fairly hard at
“As all but 1,000 of you are no doubt aware, the scoreboards are currently limited to the top 1,000 players.”
Very creative. I don’t know why it was so funny. Maybe because it was too true… Who knows.

How about giving us more Fabulous options, Give us the ability to change our eyes, not just color (then you can have glasses too)
August 13th, 2009 at 2:02 PM
I have my ps3 connected directly to a cable modem and UPnP is not available and NAT Type 2. Do you guys like lag (or freeze) for about a second and then it goes back to normal?
Btw i love fat princess
