More On: Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
Brian Dunn (a Capcom employee) broke news on his blog of an upcoming update to the Xbox 360 exclusive Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. The update is scheduled for March 9th (through Xbox Live) and will address several issue with multiplayer play and some bug fixes.  Below is the list from Brian of what the update will address:

Lost Planet Updates:
  • In the pre-game lobby, a country flag icon will be shown next to the Gamertag of each player. This will be especially helpful for determining location of the match host.
  • In the pre-game lobby, an icon will be added next to each players Gamertag, indicating connection strength, speed and rating.
  • In Team Elimination, Post Grab and Fugitive modes, an indicator will be added next to the Gamertag of the person who is speaking.
  • At the post-match Results screen, an indicator will be added next to the Gamertag of the person who is speaking.
  • At the post-match Results screen, Gamertags of the players who have left the session will be darkened.

Bug Fixes

  • Sometimes in Fugitive mode there would be multiple Fugitives instead of just one—Fixed
  • Occasionally, if an error occurred on the lobby screen, another lobby screen would be displayed on top of it—Fixed
  • Sometimes when there was a long delay/lag, the game would hang at the transition screen going from the lobby to the game and then reboot—Fixed
  • Sometimes when there was a long delay/lag, depending on the console, certain players in the match would become invisible for the duration of the match—Fixed
  • Sometimes post-match Results screens would show players who did not participate in the match—Fixed
  • Starting a taunt animation during a reload shortened the reload time as an exploit—Fixed
