A few of us have been getting into (or back into) Resistance 2 multiplayer lately. If you haven’t tried it out, definitely hop on because it’s a shitload of fun. But just like any game, there are a few bugs. Insomniac is looking to fix many of those issues with a patch, v1.40, coming on Monday.

There was a nasty little bug where people were getting their ranks reset back to 1, which is being fixed. Not only will you get back everything you lost, but all the XP you gained after the reset will be restored upon downloading the patch. Quite a few other balancing tweaks and fixes are included and you can check out the full list after the jump.

One thing that isn’t being fixed, yet, is being able to store XP and rank for a second local player on your PS3. Right now, whatever gains you get are wiped when you quit the game. Insomniac is working on a fix for this and said the reason this capability wasn’t there from the start was the PS3 lacking this capability. Since this was added in a firmware update, Insomniac is doing their best to get this much requested feature out to you as soon as possible. When they do, Crowley will stop calling, texting, and IM’ing me every day asking when this feature is coming. I can’t wait.

Here’s all the fixes you can expect in the v1.40 patch:

Multiplayer Progression

Some people have seen their competitive and/or cooperative characters reset to level 1. For several of those cases, this patch will not only bring back all the XP, stats, and attributes that you’ve lost, but it will also add to your character profile the XP/stats/attributes that you’ve earned since those levels were reset. For example, say you were a level 20 medic and after being reset to level 1, and you earned 5,000 XP. Thanks to the patch, you’ll return a level 20 medic and that 5,000 XP will be added to your profile.

This patch will also correct some medal and trophy issues, including the “Killing Machine” trophy (if you’ve already accumulated 10,000 kills but haven’t received this trophy, it’ll pop up as soon as you download the patch).
