I spent the better part of last night with Shadowrun, checking out the state of play now that the first patch has arrived. I’m extremely happy to report that things have improved out of sight - it now plays like it should have the first time around.
The long-overdue patch for Shadowrun is set to hit Live early next week, and Live for Windows soon after. Of course, FASA Studios and Microsoft would rather you called it a “Title Update.”
The patch addresses a number of issues with the game, the most notable of which are the ridiculous delays in finding an online match, and the lengthy resynchronization period whenever a new player joins an active game. Apparently, both these have been reduced by a healthy margin.
