State Of Decay's First Patch Is Causing Problems
State of Decay, the very successful Xbox Live Arcade game, send out its first patch recently, and it's causing some problems.
Basically, the issues that were supposed to be addressed by the patch (you can check out the patch notes here), are simply not being addressed. There was some kind of error with the patch, and while some people have been lucky and are reporting that the patch has been successful, the majority are still experiencing problems. Developer Undead Labs has identified the problem, however, and released a statement on the game's official message boards. You can check out part of the statement below.
"First, I want to apologize. This is not acceptable, and you deserve better than this.
Second, we're on the phone with our publisher right now getting everyone mobilized. There's nothing we can do at UL to fix this problem. Once the update has been handed off, the process of getting it to you is something only the Xbox people can handle. So, we're calling in the troops to get going on solving this problem immediately.
Third, although we can't directly fix the problem, you are OUR players, and we'd like you to know we're exploring ways to express our appreciation for your patience.
In the meantime, see "first."
I wanted to let you know what was going on as soon as we had it nailed down. We don't have an ETA on a solution (see "second"). Stay tuned for more information as we get it."
