It says that your team, D, came in first place, and that you have earned a present. Press y to redeem.

It only works with JP accounts though.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Oh well, at least I know I'm on D.

[ACSeraph]

Man us E guys did terrible...

[Cuilan]

Patch is out now.

[Astraea FGA Mk. I]

Patch is out now.

Now that the patch is here how do you select Saya in the non 360 modes, purchased from the shop already of course.

*edit* Derp. Press the back button.

Creating a Japanese silver account isn't hard. Mine was even assigned to the same team (is D For foreigners?), so I got the gamerpics.

OH MY FUCKING GOD!

Patched it, noticed some screen-position and leaderboard-button stuff that has changed..

But my screen just froze in stage 4 recharge..

[Udderdude]

Goddamnit.

[Chaos Phoenixma]

So, did they fix the leaderboard issues and the Saya slowdown in the Arcade modes?

Ugh. I'll deinstalled and reinstall the game, in case it's goofy in the same way the Futari BL is.

[mimiroru]

saya still causes slowdown, it seems.

hopefully i didn't just clear novice expart because of score display.

[ACSeraph]

I don't know about arcade mode, but I just did a run of 360 shot and I can tell you her slowdown is drastically reduced in that mode. It's very noticeable in the Kouryu fight. It makes pattern near the end where all the honeycomb looking things fill the screen much much harder. Still took her out though

This patch fixed a lot of the things that were annoying me about this game. I really really appreciate the unlocking of the positioning option so now I can move the picture up to the very top of my tate setup. Nice work Cave! Though I feel sorry for anyone who was already having trouble with the 360 shot final boss...

[ratikal]

Could anyone possibly upload the patch for those without Xbox Live? I really wanna play Saya in 1.5.

Just wait until its uploaded here http://www.xbuc.net/

[Annoyboy]

I just played through Novice with A-S after installing the patch, and it seems to have introduced a fuckton of slowdown (edit - most noticeable on stages 3 and 5). I'm using tate with zoom, no input windows.

[CptRansom]

Leaderboards still all jacked up. I looked at 360 Shot, saw someone with 50bil, almost shit myself, downloaded replay, just a 9bil ALL. Wut.

Can someone test the slowdown between A/B/C Types vs D Type post-patch? It'd be awesome if I could re-integrate the scoreboards, lol (wishful thinking).

[O. Van Bruce]

So, can you put your initials with the patch?

[eckart]

No you cant. I guess.

Can anybody tell me where is Saya in the shop?

The upgrade works fine by me. Sound is better i guess. Not realy sure if the shotsound of the playership was there bevore.
Maybe i am wrong..

[ptoing]

Saya is the 3000 coin item with the ??? on it.

It's the 3000 coin mystery item.

[Zerst]

So it seems all the patch changed was ruining the game by making EXPART into EXPERT.

wtf cave... way to blow your free patch by not fixing stuff.

The high score thread here will continue to say EXPART because shit's awesome.

[Giest118]

The patch did this shit that I've noticed:

* Fixed the score display slowdown
* All sound effects now play
* EXPERT instead of EXPART

[eckart]

Thanks ptoing and Thjodbjorn!

[J3SteR82]

Still waiting for my copy from Play Asia! Grrrrrr

Legitimately disappointed.

That's the problem with squirting out an early patch on a game that is going to earn fuck-all. If there is shit left in the code that requires patching; it ain't gonna happen.

What's the price on secondary patches for games on the box?... immense.. not gonna happen considering CAVE's position..... this is why I wish they had waited to collate all the fucking fallout before committing to a pretty trivial hotfix.

[Chaos Phoenixma]

$ 40,000 for a patch if we go by what's been said

But I wouldn't be surprised if MS had different policies about stuff for different areas. And obviously we can't expect them to fix it. Why does Cave have to suck so much at porting their own stuff?

Still should be a fun game, though it would be better if the leaderboards worked and the the slowdown issues were fixed. I probably wouldn't play much with Saya's ship if the slowdown is worse.


As for the initials thing, I could care less. Leaderboards have pretty much gotten rid of the need for that. It's pretty much just an outdated feature to me.

You can now change screen position more than 100.. units.
Also, buttons for leaderboards have been changed too (To RB, LB) so now arcade stick players can check scores too
