Release date: 08/03/2011
A data update containing future downloadable add-on content.

Fixes:

• 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 and buttons with it highlighted which would allow the user to still wear it.

• 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.

• 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.
