The Lag of Iron Fist will soon be a thing of the past as Namco Bandai has announced that they will be releasing a free downloadable update for Tekken 6. The update is meant to “fix and improve the online game experience” that has plagued the game since it’s release back in October. The update is slated to be released November 26 on both Xbox 360 and the PS3.
The update intends to fix the following issues:
+ Improved input response: improvement of the game’s responsiveness to button / command inputs
+ Selectable search priorities for ranked matches: players will be able to set search priorities for opponents in ranked matches based on comparable rank or connection quality as well as location
+ Optimized data transmission between fighters and spectators: fight data will be optimized in order to reduce the bandwidth load on the host’s console
+ Signal strength bars: the signal strength bar will reflect connection quality more accurately
+ Chance to cancel match: players will be able to cancel the match before it begins once the opponent’s signal strength has been displayed on ranked matches.
