The Orange Box PS3 patch fixes framerate problems
After the December 11th, 2007, release of The Orange Box’s PlayStation 3 version, it was clear the games on it were plagued by framerate issues during fast-moving open landscape scenes, making the game harder to play because of annoying slowdown.
Valve has finally rolled out patch 1.10 for The Orange Box that will show up automatically if you start playing the game on an online-enabled PlayStation 3. I own the Xbox 360 version, but PS3 players at Kotaku have also mentioned this patch fixes the slow connection online Team Fortress 2 matches they were experiencing. No official word about what’s in the 128MB patch has been released.

* Fixed an issue whereby the players name would not appear on the Stats comparison screen.
* We have fixed an issue that would cause the vote tallies to disappear when you viewed the scoreboard between rounds.
* Fixed an online server issue.
* Fixed an issue that caused a crash when a player that wasn’t in Division 1 entered ‘Your Leaderboards.
* Fixed an issue with players not always being added to the ‘Players Met’ menu on the XMB.
