Brink Updates Live, Free DLC Coming

(Brink Lags) #81

Yeah, this game isn’t Halo with maps sized for the player count. All the maps were sized for 8V8 and balanced with care for brink. Console players are not getting that game.

I have fios with an amazing connection and I have never seen lag like this. Across the board it’s unplayable and now the fix is a nerf. How are they going to fix this? The launch bombed and chased away everyone on my fl who got the game. I’m so pissed. This game is incredible and yet broken. There is no excuse for an mp focused game to be unplayable. Pitiful. It’s over. There will never be the launch excitement to revive my fl. It’s really over. Can’t get those friends back. And you need them for the teamwork they bring. Randoms don’t coordinate like your friends would. And SD threw it all away with this broken launch. They couldn’t afford to screw up this launch with a new ip.

You don’t even know if that NERF is permanent. So calm yourself.

Great job, SD. :slight_smile:

Thank you for listening and reacting quickly to problems so far. Can’t wait to see what the dlc will be.

They are not going to be able to fix p2p net code. This is gears of war 2 all over again only worse. Gears 3 is getting dedicated servers. For a really good reason.

How does this game even select hosts? What a disaster. Failure to launch. We were all robbed.

(mundox) #85

Any info on mod tools, will there be any?

(advocacy) #86

In spite of the patch, a majority of players are still experiencing horrendous lag during online matches on the Xbox 360.

Splash Damage needs to work harder before they go patting themselves on the back.

(hiono) #87

do you guys think theyll use the dlc to fix some of the issues like the spawns on the map like how they did with monday night combat?

(kozzy) #88

Great to hear! The pc update today is fantastic! Loving the game, keep it up!
I might buy it for 360 also just to support Splash Damage more!

Keep the support up and this will be my new fav online shooter!

gah. even if the simple “word” DLC makes me shiver, i appreciate that you guys release the first (how many are there coming) for free.

i also, and i think im not alone, appreciate that you keep communicating with the community. thats very important and makes a difference. i can excuse major flaws of a game if just the devs are talking to me and tell me whats going on.

so, im looking forward to the next patch. performance both on graphics and network still need a lot of improvement. (even on pc)

(btw. i didnt tested it enough, but try to add - seta g_antiLag “0” - to your autoexec.cfg. it must be created in your brink/base frolder. just tested one game with a 200+ ping but i had no lag ingame. if it gets worse, change the value back to “1”)

So is this an option we can change or a forced 8 max players in a game? Although its a good idea (like I mentioned in my post) it seems a little low. I would of thought if the game detects the best connection some one should have 1-2meg upload. I can host 12 on CoD with approx 1.8 up.

Also a local/best search option would be nice, so UK can play UK only if possible. It was all European last night and although not terrible it was bad at times.

(DazTroyer) #92

Oh I’m bad, first post here didn’t contain all of the info. So other than a local search option, ignore me lol. :o

Ps… thanks for listening.

Please instead of making free maps, put in a pre game lobby system. Searching for a game and waiting for it to load only to find an empty server is the single stupidest thing to happen to any game ever. Instead of trying to find a specific game already in play on a specific map, I’d much rather be able to join a game that’s getting set up, allow for people to join in teams, and then vote for a map to play, more like the Left 4 Dead set up.

This game is really close to becoming one of those $5 bin fillers, and it’s so easy to make it the best multi player experience available on consoles. If you guys have the time to make more new maps for free, I don’t see what the hold up is on the lobby systems.

Seriously, how many complaints and requests does it take? What is the possible hesitation to provide it?

God. You’re so emo, either cut deeper or quit crying.

That’s a little harsh because at the core of what Brink Lags had to say is a great deal of truth.

Gear of War 2 was a shambolic mess upon release and remained that way until the most recent title update. Props to Epic for figuring out how to fix the matchmaking but it took them way too long. Hopefully it won’t take Splash Damage a year and a half to make their online vs mode playable all the time because Brink is drowning in potential.

(Murderous Pie) #96

wow, although i am happy this is happening, SD is not really fixing the lag problem… just diverting it. either this is them being lazy or this is a temporary fix to hold us over. and could anyone explain why SOME people have no lag at all?

(Volturnus) #97

Add some subtitles in the next patch and ill rebuy it.

this is nonsense.

[QUOTE=badman;304112]We consider all of the feedback we’re getting from the community.

The PC version received a first round of AI tweaks today, which we’ll be bringing to the consoles in the title update.[/QUOTE]

See, because I know how to read I don’t like this. He responded directly to the comment about the AI because something is being done about that. For the lobbies, it got grouped with “we consider all of the feedback”. Which sounds like they’re considering it right along with TDM, flame throwers, female characters and all that other “feedback” that’s never going to be in the game.

Here’s a hint guys, F*** THE AI. Friendly AI being smart or stupid would be a null point if I could replace them with friends! You making the AI smarter only sounds like you’re not going to let us play with friends. Brink is a wonderful game, but once the honeymoon is over its going to be a question of “What are my friends doing?” Cause I know that’s the first thing I check when I get on Xbox. If Brink gets a lobby I know I can pull us all together and go have fun. But if I know I’ll have to join a game and try to invite them one by one and hope they get in, it’ll just be easier
and more fun to go play something I know we can all get into.

If there’s no lobbies soon, I would be willing to bet you won’t need a patch to fix the lag because nobody will be playing online to notice it.

(Psi Brain) #99

Fix patch and DLC?

That’s fantastic.

TY Splash Damage. :smiley:

(BiigDaddyDellta) #100

It’s so nice to have Dev’s that listen and are intent on providing a good product. nothing like those Bungy guys or 353 was it? I don’t know, one of those teams that got too big for their britches. Thanks SD
