Capcom sent out a press release to let us know they’ll be releasing a patch for Lost Planet on the Xbox 360 on Thursday, August 30th.

On Thursday, August 30 th, a network update will be implemented where players will be able to select from three different connection types when creating an online match. By allowing players to select the best connection type for their environment, the patch aims to improve the game’s connectivity for any players that have had previous problems.

The three connections types are Default, Pattern A (for users with a fast upload speed), and Pattern B (for users with a slow upload speed).

You may encounter some issues when connecting to a multiplayer match where some users have the patch and others don’t, such as glitches with screen text, freezing, and being disconnected.

This is great news for anyone who’s been frustrated by Lost Planet’s network issues for the past few months.

Here’s the full press release:

In a continuing effort to ensure the best possible gameplay experience for Lost Planet Xbox 360 players, Capcom has developed an extensive network update which will optimize the online gameplay experience.

On Thursday, August 30 th, a network update will be implemented where players will be able to select from three different connection types when creating an online match. By allowing players to select the best connection type for their environment, the patch aims to improve the game’s connectivity for any players that have had previous problems.

There are 3 connection types. Players should choose the option that suits their configurations:

[Default]
This is the standard setting regardless of upload speed.

[Pattern A]
This is more suitable when your upload speed is fast. Try this if your connection is unstable with Default.

[Pattern B]
This is more suitable when your upload speed is slow and your connection is not stable with Default. Try this if your connection is unstable with Default.

After the update is released, you may experience some problems if you join a multiplayer match where players who have installed the patch and those who haven’t are participating. The expected problems are as follows:
- Glitches with screen text
- The game stops progressing at certain screen.
- Disconnection (disbanded mission, etc)

If you experience problems like these, please try signing out once and signing in again.
