Slant Six working on next patch: looks to fix a lot of issues; Posted 2 months ago by Voyou San

Well for those who played socom you know it has been a bumpy ride, but with the last patch a lot of the issues were taken care of and now online play is a lot smoother. Well it looks like Slant Six is working on now adding a lot of the functionality that should have been there with the release of the game. The list of what they are working on is below, though it is not certain if all of it will come with the next patch.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Socom Confrontation didn't launch with Trophies; instead, it shipped with a lot of bugs. Slant Six even admits that "the launch was pretty rough on all of us." However, with patch 1.20 already out fixing a majority of the problem issues and a 1.30 patch coming soon, things are turning around.

In fact, the much coveted Trophy support is said to arrive in the upcoming 1.30 patch, among other new features. You can find a list of all the new features and bug fixes for the new update after the break. The crew notes, however, "that some items listed may be delayed to a following update if additional development is required beyond what our schedule for the 1.30 update allows." That means, don't take it as a 100 percent guarantee.
