The Codemasters Forums have the patch notes for the upcoming first Windows patch for DiRT 3, the latest installment in the rally racing series (thanks The Patches Scrolls). They also note: "Patches for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game along with an additional patch for the PC are also currently in development, and further details regarding these will be provided at a later date once the patches have been completed and passed the submission process with Microsoft and Sony." The change list follows.
