Rising Star Games has rolled out the much-anticipated patch for the PlayStation 3 version of King of Fighters XIII.
The update irons out numerous bugs in the game’s wonky online component, and will be released for Xbox 360 later down the line.
In addition, the retro-fused brawler also received a price drop in the U.S. of $10 ahead of the game’s showing at EVO 2012 later this year.
Get the full skinny on the patch below.
-Ranked Match Filtering: One of the most requested additions, players may now set conditions for their opponent’s connection. When a player who doesn’t meet the standby conditions tries to enter the Ranked match, a warning message will be displayed and the match cancelled.
-Improved Filtering: Filtering functionality in general has seen dramatic improvements. Previously, certain connection data was not filtered sufficiently and the player had a chance of connecting to opponents with poor connection quality. Now, more aggressive filtering should ensure that players are only matched with opponents who meet their filter settings.
-Improved Connection Antenna: The computation behind the players’ connection antenna, the meter indicating the quality of a player’s connection, has been improved, resulting in a more accurate and consistent measurement.
-Temporarily Saved Custom Match Settings: Players may continue searching for opponents with the same settings as long as the player remains in the PLAYER MATCH/RANKED MATCH menu.
-Character-specific Bug Fixes: "NESTS-Style" Kyo and Iori with the Power of Flames no longer become unresponsive under certain circumstances.
-Additional refinements, fixes, and more.
