I’ve witnessed a myriad of strange lag related issues, the worst of them causing my screen to flicker and drop frames as if I was trying to match 60Hz to 50Hz. On top of the fact that the Xbox360 controller d-pad is worse than… I can’t think of a controller that has a d-pad as bad as this… winning online is pure luck due to lag. Initially I thought that I was just versing American’s due to the fact that not many Australian’s would have had the game let alone playing it at 2AM on the day of release, but I was soon to realise, the lag was just that bad.

After tweeting about this issue this morning, sonic.Gorilla (@bioxeed) pointed me towards the following news article at Shacknews:

Namco Readying Tekken 6 Online Patch
In a terse mailing, Namco Bandai today passed along word that it is working on downloadable update to Tekken 6 it hopes will “improve the online game experience.”

The update will be available to players of the recently released PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 fighting game “as soon as it has passed rigorous testing procedures.” More details, including specifics on the addressed issues, are said to be coming “shortly.”

Though we’re still in the dark as to what the patch will contain, we do know that it won’t pack online cooperative play for Scenario Mode, as Namco was quite clear that the previously promised co-op update will arrive separately this winter.

Lets hope they don’t screw something over in the process (touch wood).
