Sony has released a new game update (version 1.04) for LittleBigPlanet 3 which includes a number of network and stability fixes that should "help improve overall game stability." The update also includes important fixes for importing previous LittleBigPlanet game content, Sound Object collection and categorization, End of Level Prize awards, and a number of other Adventure, Play and Create fixes.
While the updates differ tremendously in size depending on which platform, most of the patch notes are the same for both the PS4 and PS3 version unless otherwise noted.

Today's patch checks in at 423.7MB on PlayStation 4 and 194.7MB on PlayStation 3. Sony notes that a number of PS4 players are encountering issues with game progression by attempting to access content that is not ready to be used due to the way that PlayStation 4 updates software int he background. To avoid this, they recommend checking your Download Status before playing the game. If the Download Progress and Download Size are the same (E.g. 1.2GB/1.2GB), your game is ready to launch with all of the features available to you upon arriving in your Pod.
