Unfortunately, it appears as if the patch may have created problems for Call of Duty 4 players, who took to the official forums (registration required) en masse to complain of critical errors while trying to play the game online now. Many also report getting the same error: "DW update file error 102 - 'BD_EXCEPTION_IN_DB' " when trying to start a new character. Apparently, firmware 2.01 ... is a hippie. Neither Sony nor Activision have responded to the the issue, but we'll let you know when they do. We also don't know if this extends to any other games. Have any of you had similar problems?

Fucking amateurs.

May I remind you that this patch was to fix the patch that bricked PS3s.

Oh dear...

Not good business really is it.

Yes because no other consoles have ever had problems with a patch , May I remind you that Sony's track record is fucking legions better than Mircosofts.

Buggering one patch up you can understand anyone can make a mistake, but buggering two up in less than a week, when you'd have thought the second one was going to fix the issues with the first one is simply unnacceptable for such a large company.

That's the kind of legendary screwup you'd only ever expect from the mighty Mir team.

#8: Fixes
When your security system has been broken, don't release quick fixes, for two reasons: Your fixes may be flawed and may not actually correct the problem, and even worse holes may be found not much later, which you must fix again - and ship yet another version. Instead, every time a security vulnerability is found, audit your complete security system and search for similar bugs, as well as other bugs in the same part of the system, based on the knowledge you gained from the successful hack.

Microsoft failed to correct the hash problem in the second version of the secret ROM, and didn't fix the visor vulnerability, which was found just weeks later. After trashing thousands of already manufactured v1.0 Southbridge chips, which was very expensive, they decided not to update the Southbridge a second time. Another example is the dashboard odyssey: Instead of blacklisting the vulnerable executables at a time, they released three updates, none of which was effective.

microsoft did it

its a small extract from something on wiki i was researching. if you continue reading it just gets better and better.

from what the document said, the main reason the security failed on the XBOX was because they used an intel core after they developed it for AMD.... (theres a rollover point in the intel's which is there as legacy...)

so m$ did do it for thiers, but it wasnt THAT well known about till around 2 years after release.

in short, im ashamed of sony... especially when they released all those patches for the PSP to stop softmods.... and within a day it was cracked....

small hint of whats to come?
