Problemi del firmware 1.50 di PS4: EA fa un passo indietro

Ieri sera ha suscitato molto scalpore la segnalazione di Electronic Arts nelle sue pagine di assistenza secondo la quale i continui crash e freeze delle PS4 era da attribuire all’aggiornamento 1.50 rilasciato da Sony. Dopo alcune ore il post è stato eliminato, sostituito da un messaggio di EA in cui si avvisa che il post precedente era dovuto ad un loro errore. Pressioni da parte di Sony o, realmente, un messaggio errato da parte di EA? Vi riportiamo in calce il messaggio apparso sulle pagine di assistenza del sito EA e poi tolto.

Messaggio apparso sulle pagine “HELP” di EA.com

EA has stepped forward to address some reports of freezing and crashing with PlayStation 4 games. The publisher has identified the 1.5 firmware update, which enables many of the PlayStation 4’s features, as the culprit.

“This affects all games on the PS4, including EA titles, causing crashing/freezing and non-responsive connections between the player’s console and their TV Screen,” EA writes. “Unfortunately since it’s an issue with Sony’s firmware, it requires a new update to fix it. Sony is working to resolve the issue as quickly as they can. They will update their System Update page as new versions are made available, and we will keep this page updated as we find out more.”

We’ve reached out to Sony for comment on this. We’ll update as more information is available.
