Lost Planet update coming in March

Capcom has announced that a Lost Planet: Extreme Condition update will be released in March.

As part of the publisher's continuing efforts to respond to Lost Planet players, Capcom has today announced details of an update/patch which should be available worldwide on or near March 9.

The update will add additional multiplayer features and fix a few bugs/exploits which have been discovered post-release. Multiplayer updates come as a direct result of player requests.

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 player's 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

Now when the game asks you to install an update on or around March 9, you'll know what it's for. For more information on the game check out Pro-G's Lost Planet review.
