cause they havent said a peep about when the lag will be fixed

It's supposedly coming around the DLC or with it. For now we have to deal with the way it is right now :\

what lag ?
i get no lag

are u using the xbox 360 version ? there is a xbox 360 thread, complain there

Ya...I have PS3 and I haven't seen any lag really. If so it's been very minor.

Doing some experiments, it seems the bots do something to the lag. If you can limit the bots, it may help. I'm on PC so it may be different on a console, but on PC when a player joins the game, the bot he's replacing goes into spectate, so with a full server, you have 16 players in the game, and 16 bots in spectate. Booting the bots from spectate seems to help the lag issue.

They could come tell us that it is all done and has been sent to Microsoft and will be ready in 3 days. Then microsoft could find a problem and send it back and the devs have to go back to work on it to fix whatever it is, then send it back to MS to be tested again. Or they could tell us they have 2 days left before they will be done finding code errors and it take 5 days to find them.

They could tell us exactly what they hope for but there are always unforeseen problems that arise and cause delays or speed things along. So really what can they tell us except what they already have, that they are working to get patches out for everyone as quickly as they can.

I once told my kid we would go on a picnic on Sat. but it poured rain so we rescheduled it but then he was sick so we rescheduled again and the car broke down....see what I mean?

There are several companies here working together to get this out. It takes time and it always takes more time than we want to wait and the companies want to wait. I'm betting some poor devs and testers are hearing screaming daily from the top brass of their companies about getting it out, then they come here and hear screaming fans yelling about it and they are probably paddling as fast as they can.

SD has not said anything about when the 360 update will be released. It has nothing to do with the DLC in June.

They can't say when because if they gave us an estimated date and were wrong the fans would go ballistic on them.

Sadly, this is very true.

Not to mention it has only been 5 days since the last patch and when it comes to getting things through xbox live hoops it can take more than 5 days for them to look at it.
A tweet saying "We're looking at it still" may be nice but it doesn't really say anything.
A tiny bit of patience will, I'm sure, be rewarded.

Lag's been better past couple of days. Either way, LA Noire is out today...

Was that actually a patch that got released? I don't remember downloading anything, all they did was say "its all better now provided you play with fewer people"

Well it was multiple things across the 3 platforms.
There was a serverside patch / tweak for xbox. Nothing that needed downloading i think.
For PS3 (correct me if I'm wrong PS3 people) I think there was a small update patch.
For PC there was a small download too.

It wasn't a full "fix everything patch" that is true. But it was an interim "workaround for now" patch.

It means they are actually doing something and haven't set up baths of money in the office so that they can lounge naked in them and smoke cigars while they talk about where they're going on holiday

Don't get me wrong: I'd love a little more communication. Something like "we're still looking at the issues, sorry" or "we found out that it was bob's fault and will spend the next 3 days beating him" would be nice. But really I'm happy to wait a little bit. Admittedly I'm on the PC so I don't get 1/2 the problems the Xbox gamers are having.

I personally completly understand that they cannot make such promisses, how ever It does not take alot out of theyr day to show a presence on the forums..
While we appriciate our moderators, they arnt exactly what we're looking for

I never understood the whole gamedevelopers standpoint of hideing in the shadows and throwing in a few blog posts etc every few weeks, why not "be one with the community".
It is a highly sucsessful approach for Indie Companies, and they gain as much as the community from doing it, which Mount and Blade among other indie titles are a clear indicator of. (or used to be anyways )

And in all honesty, judging by SD's background they should know this better then anyone since they used to be the community

Oh [censored], its been horrible on ps3 and we have major texture pop in and severe dips in fps too, garbage needs fixing asap...

THE PICNIC IS A LIE!

Are we there yet?

Totally agree, summer - my comment was more directed at the misconceived rumor that the update is somehow tied in to the June DLC. There are simply too many moving parts to confidently give people a definitive due date for a patch.

I haven't had those problems on PS3. I've heard more positives than negatives from other PS3ers, too, so I don't think it's the system at fault - although with still-unstable PSN, you can't rule out the possibility that it's at fault and causing problems for some but not others.

I've had matches where everything went super smooth, even with 8 players at once, but after host migration it's all [censored] up. Why no dedicated servers? :sadvaultboy:

well guys maybe next Wednesday? Xbox updates tend to roll out on Wednesdays i think. I keep checking everyday, no luck :/

Which is total BS.

No there was no serverside patch, they use P2P, which means... NO SERVERS. All they did was make 8v8 play 4v4 with bots. And most people I know have had it fix very little. (xbox) As for ps3 it was the same as the day 1 release to try and help the anitlaissing issue, not the lag. PC, recieved a bot and lag patch.

^^halo is p2p also and they change playlists all the time without the need for an update. not surw what u call it i guess a hotfix
