Update for 360 LIVE!

(Jess Alon) #21

[QUOTE=wishface;327155]Still lags.

And I shouldn’t have to play 5v5 either.

The game advertises 8v8 and SD couldn’t even get that to work. BFBC2 is 12v12 across enormous maps with tanks and helicopters and destructible scenery. Brink shouldn’t be anywhere near this unstable. Unacceptable.
Now we’ll have all the yesmen and fanboys raving about how the game has suddenly been fixed and SD are the best developers in the world. What a joke.[/QUOTE]

I’m having no problem considering there are no dedicated servers. And in BC2 I hate maps with vehicles. People abuse the crap out of them.

Whether or not you like BF is not the issue; it plays and this doesn’t.

A 3mb patch to fix netcode? Doubtful.

Though I suppose getting SD to actually tell us would be like getting blood out of a stone.

guys about the patch size, have you ever played other games on 360? the patches usually weight about 3-4 MB…it’s a console guys, one configuration, so no need for 300MB patch size to engulf all PC configurations.

(Jess Alon) #24

I’m pretty sure that 3MB patch was to address the freezing issue.

(xzen) #25

XBL patches used to be limited to 4MB, recently there’s been a few a bit larger (~9MB for Black Ops and AC: Brotherhood patches off the top of my head) but they’re still all less than 10MB (except for the GoW3 beta update for Bulletstorm, but that was because the whole beta was downloaded as an update). Even the Gears 2 title updates which changed tons of stuff were tiny.

edit: I would love to see a complete changelog though, hopefully one will be posted after the weekend

Patches for the 360 aren’t allowed to be bigger than 3mb and there is only the one patch incoming before the dlc that SD have told us about.

This was the patch to address the lag issues and the freezing problem in Germany. I tried it out and it indeed does seem to be better than it was before although of course it will take some gameplay time to see if its really fixed.

This patch does not address the number of bots in a game. Although simply raising the minimum number of people needed to start a game would help out on that front.

[QUOTE=its al bout security;327101]all the update did was install inti piracy tools so you can no longer burn discs (360 games) any longer.

though it used to work with a little tiny program… hehe but its illegal[/QUOTE]

Wasn’t that the system update at the start of the week? That’s not what a title update would do…

(Lozmuir) #29

Played a 8v8 match just then and was completely lag free.

I guess I better test some more…

(xzen) #30

Well, since the patch I’ve been in a few full 8v8 lobbies with basically no lag at all. One was pretty bad for about a minute until a host migration after which it was fine. Even then it was more of a 1s delay on every action rather than rubberbanding all over the map. Movement/SMART seems a lot more fluid as well, it doesn’t freak out as much when I wall jump, and the bursts of lag whenever anyone joins/disconnects have stopped.

(melm) #31

I still haven’t been in a single 8 vs. 8 since the patch. Seems a bit better lag wise, but still all of these annoying bots. Hope things start shaping up. I enjoy this game so much when I get to play actual humans.

(DazTroyer) #32

Try the free play game modes like Competitive or Big Team.

(Changeable) #33

The patch has completely fixed the lag for me, been playing 8vs8 since the update… Anyhow back to it :slight_smile:

(BioSnark) #34

congrats console ppls o/

(fearlessfox) #35

ps3 isn’t fixed… did we get the exact same update as the xbox?

(Jess Alon) #36

Don’t know dude. PSN probably works differently the XBL.

(solidus) #37

I played 2 or 3 hours this evening and while the lag situation isn’t perfect its a major improvement from where it was. I could actually play in all the games I got into.

(its al bout security) #38

hmm it seems to have cut lagg and madde 8v8 come back so thats good played many matches of 8v8 with virtually no lag. beyond that i find matches with more people now
