This is a petition to LucasArts, developer and distributor of the recently released Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video game to release an online patch for both PS3/360 versions of the games.
Many devote Star Wars fans eagerly awaited this game and while the game itself is in keeping with the great mythos of Star Wars, it is also full of many technical and game breaking issues. Below is a list of many commom technical issues in both versions of the game:
1. Despite the 2.6gb hard drive install on the PS3 version, the load times between levels are fairly long. The load times do seem faster than the 360 version but still leave more to be desired with a machine with a built in hard drive. Also, for some strange reason the menu system has long load times between switching. This is also a problem on the 360 version, but with a 2.6gb hard drive install, you would think that problem would be non existant. Perhaps a bigger hard drive install is needed, or maybe it is simply bug related. Also, and the developers may want to check for sure about this, but I don't see the hard drive indicator on my PS3 being used much during Force Unleashed unlike other games that use the hard drive. Is it possible that despite the hard drive install, the game is not using all of the files it has installed on the hard drive?
2. Cutscenes audio for some reason can become low in volume.
3. When you are on Felucia the first time, the sequence with the several Rancors you must kill in the big area suffers from several slowdowns on occasion. The first level also has slowdowns on the long bridge.
4. The game does have several glitches within the gameplay. Collison could have had more tweaking. Interaction with the environment leaves much more to be desired, especially on Felucia and Raxus Prime.
5. The graphics seem to have quite a bit of "fade-in" issues, where detail quickly pops in. This is most noticeable on the first level as Darth Vader. For example, as you move from the starting position, all of a sudden the Imperial Walker on the left side of the screen in the distance just appears as you move forward.
6. The "Default Text" glitch is a problem on both platforms, whereby your save game can become corrupt and force points do not count.
7. To make things simpler, the Mission Select should be available at the main screen of the game and not just in the in-game menu. The first level with Darth Vader is also absent from the mission select.
8. If you have beaten the the game, the various cheats available for the game should not lock you from saving your game. And costumes you unlock with cheats should not be reset when you shut down and play the game again.

Many people spent their hard earned money on this game and for LucasArts to not make any comments or plans to a release a patch, but to expect the same people to pay for additional downloadable content is a slap in the face to the fans. We ask the priority be switched to fix the current game before expecting fans to pay for more content.

- The fact that Lucas Arts is standing by calmly and doing nothing to fix the game breaking glitches for us gamers is simply inexcusable. This issue should be delt with immediately. Lucas Arts is the first major company I have ever seen to have the audacity to publicly proclaim that they are giving new content to the players when such bugs as the "Default Text" are out there. And to make it worse they are doing this on the very forums which are making them a mockery for their neglegence. Lucas Arts should take responsability for their actions instead of hiding behind their claim for new content. I want to say personally I have not had any trouble with this game. But as stated earlier you need only look on the official Force Unleashed forums to see that there is a matter of gross neglegence on Lucas Arts part. I am signing for those having trouble, not for myself. For money they paid they deserve your attention LA. Please respond to this matter promptly.

- Loved this game, but the glitches, especially the "Default Text" glitch are really spoiling an otherwise good game.

- I wrote to Lucas Arts about the "Default Text" glitch and was given a crap responce from them. Hopefully this will do something about it. I already returned game to NewEgg for a full refund. Thank you NewEgg for your wonderful customer support.

- LucasArts, I think "The Force Unleashed" is a great extension of the Star Wars universe and an extremly cool game, featuring some very interesting gameplay and a wonderful insight into the "True Power of the Force". There are indeed some glitches, but most of them are just minor things. If there is a slow-down, you can try to defeat some enemies to make the area less crowded so the frame rate goes back to normal. If some enemies decide to vanish all of a sudden, you can usually send some Force Lightning in their general direction and defeat them anyway. But the "Default Text" glitch is a GAME BREAKER. The fact that you currently have to play the game just hoping and praying that glitch will not affect you is simply unacceptable. Please release a patch, correcting at least this major glitch, as soon as possible. Many thanks in advance.
