Hey gang,

With a solid year of Rock Band 3 under our belts, we’ve got another small title update coming out on Tuesday November 8th for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. We’ve pulled together notes for previous updates and it has always been well received by those of you in the community, so we’re doing the same for the one coming out tomorrow.

While there are several legal and security tweaks going in (which we won’t be able to address specifically, but honestly shouldn’t alter your RB3 experience in any way), there are also a few changes to gameplay that address some requests and comments we’ve received from the community since the last update.

• Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Dani California” will now be available in Rock Band 3. These were songs from the RB1 disc that were not previously available via export, but thanks to some music licensing magic you’ll be able to play these fan favorite tracks in RB3. These songs should be visible to anyone that previously imported RB1, but if you have additional questions related to export you can consult support articles here.

• We’ve corrected an issue where playing combinations of “Surfing with the Alien,” “Satch Boogie,” “The Hockey Theme” and “Caprici di Diablo” in a set list resulted in a crash.

• We’ve added an additional filter option for songs in your library. In addition to sorting by lighter rating, this new option will allow users to hide 1 Lighter rated songs that you don’t want to see in your set list, which should allow for more effective organization of the growing library of RB content.

This title update should not interfere with the regular DLC release and you’ll be prompted to accept the update when firing up Rock Band 3 on 11/8.

Thanks to everyone for supporting Rock Band 3 over the last year. It means a lot to have such a dedicated community and we’re happy to be able to respond to your feedback and suggestions by bringing back some much loved songs and improving elements of game play for a title you clearly love. Feel free to comment on the contents of the update in the main RB forum, we’ll be reading!

EDIT:

If you are experiencing the Dani California crash bug, please go here and answer a few questions to help us figure out what happened.

Thanks!

Edit:
It seems that it is only happening to non-USA versions of the disc AND:

Thank you all for the information. We now understand what's wrong and we're examining it further internally.

and here's the details. Exciting!

Flawless Victory.

[RockBandand24Fanatic]

Beat me by a minute. I cannot wait to play Dani California on Pro Drums!

[Blasteroids]

Not only that but we finally get to hide 1 lighter songs. YAY!

[dog037]

Yes.

Now give us Spoonman and Give It Away as RB3 versions.

This rules, thank you so much. Glad to have Black Hole Sun back, but more excited to hide the low rated songs. I'm getting ever closer to 1,000 songs and it'll be really nice to filter out some tracks, especially for parties and such.

Now that I think about it, we should have been expecting it, considering we've gotten packs for Soundgarden and RHCP since RB3's release.

Anyways, I'm assuming these are the only things coming with the title update?

[Doc_SoCal]

Other stuff too but its all black helicopter hush hush stuff... sorry.

Yep, actually didnt HMX say in their Halloween feed a week ago that there were no upcoming patches?
