Aspyr Media has posted a version 1.1 patch for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, its recently released music game. The update is recommended for all users, according to Aspyr.

Guitar Hero III includes a guitar-shaped USB game controller. You try to match notes with what's happening on the screen using five buttons on the controller's neck and a strum bar, to the tune of some of the most popular rock and roll songs ever recorded.

Changes in the 1.1 release include:

-- Adds Co-op Quickplay game mode for Online multiplayer.

-- The skeleton in the Shankers Island venue now displays correctly on all supported graphics cards.

-- The Leaderboards now update more quickly.

-- Fixes an issue that caused some rare instability when joining Online multiplayer games.

-- Fixes a bug that caused some finished games to be listed in Online game searches.

-- Fixes an issue where menus would become corrupted when Demonware servers are under maintenance.

-- Fixes pauses, rare freezes, and other strange behaviors that were occurring on the Video Shoot venue.

-- Fixes a bug where practicing a section of a song before entering an online match results in starting from that point in the song.

-- The game signal strength indicators now display accurately instead of always being red.

-- Playing a Practice song then playing the same song in Quickplay or Career no longer crashes the game.
