Media Molecule have announced update 1.02 is out now for Little Big Planet. they've called the update "Apple Cake" and revealed it's mostly a small update that brings fixes to the game Including:
Fixed an issue where a player that imports a profile from a different user and declines the EULA can still play online. It should no longer be possible for a player that imports another users profile and declines the EULA to play online, selecting an online option should prompt them to re-read and accept/decline the EULA.
Fixed an issue whereby a client leaving an online create session would hang when they opted to use the “Import Profile” option after being returned to their pod.
Fixed an issue where some Japanese store text descriptions contained visible HTML tags.
Fixed an issue where players that had imported beta profiles and were using DLC assets they didn’t own could still use them. In 1.01 we fixed a problem to do with importing assets from the beta trial build which allowed users access to some rare DLC items. Part of the fix was to check for stripped assets and not allow a user to select them in pop-it. The item however would still be visible in pop-it and have an exclamation mark over its icon. Players could highlight one of these items and very quickly press the O and X buttons with it highlighted which would allow the user to still wear it.
Media Molecule have announced patch 1.01 is out now for Little Big Planet 2. Media Molecule have provided this patch list:
Your Craft Earth should no longer obscure the pod when changing your PSN Avatar.
If your POD was missing, blocked, broken or contained any create objects it shouldn’t have, it will now be reset to normal.
A more accessible “Reset Pod” option is now available should your POD become broken for some reason! To access it:
Pause the game / Press START
Go to the Settings Menu
Select Profile
Select “Reset Pod Decoration”
The “Naux” glitch / corrupt Sackboy problem should now be fixed - your Sackboy will no longer be squishy and unable to swim!
DLC costumes and PODS that have been captured from community levels will no longer be selectable in pop-it. Anyone wearing a “glitched” DLC costume after patching will have it removed.
Several improvements to overall game stability have been made.
We’ve vanquished some evil code gremlins that were causing crashes and that has improved overall stability.
Info bubbles that have long text descriptions (e.g. The sequencer) can now be scrolled in a fixed width text box.
There is now a visual indicator showing how high a bounce pad will bounce you when tweaking it in Create mode.
Stickers and decorations that are placed on Sackboy only will not appear in the used objects page.
Level keys can now be deleted from Pop-it!
You can’t watch the credits while already watching them after completing the game.
It should now be possible to re-enter your shopping cart if you accidentally signed out when it had some items in it.
Players will now be prompted to save the changes made to their level in Create when switching to Play Mode after having changed the Audio Reverb.
Emitting and destroying spawn points in quick succession should no longer make the game crawl into the corner and weep.
LBP1 sound objects should now be correctly imported when using the option to do so when booting the game.
It is no longer possible to access level links to LBP1 Story levels that you have hearted.
The Clank Costume has green eyes again!
Media Molecule have announced the Hansel & Gretelbot community level pack is also out now and can be queued up at lbp.me here.
