US PS3 Hotfix & Notes - 9/14/12

The DCUO Game Client will have a small hotfix
applied at 9:30 AM PT to address an outstanding technical issue. There
is no downtime associated with this update but players will need to
logout and patch in order to pick up the change.
This change is
being applied initially to EUPS3 and will also come out on USPS3 once we
have signoff from SCEA QA. We will annouce when the USPS3 game client
is ready for patching.
Players may notice the following change:
· A
fix has been applied for a hitch that will occur every four seconds
after playing the game for 10-15 minutes. This should improve
gameplay.
