Castle Crashers Finally Gets its Patch!!

Castle Crashers Finally Gets its Patch!!
Written Wednesday, December 24, 2008 by Dan Webb

In the words of my 11th grade English Lit teacher; "Mr Webb, better late than never" ... The same could be said to the news that today, the hugely impressive Castle Crashers got its patch.

The game's online co-op prior to the patch was in a word, "broken", but today hopefully spells the end for those woes. The patch is said to include a number of other fixes:

  • Saved data loss issues
  • Quick Match/Custom Match multiplayer games not working/displaying error messages
  • Xbox LIVE games dropping unexpectedly
  • Arena Master achievement will now unlock after any mixed arena matches.
  • Overall network performance improvements
  • A few crash bugs
  • NXE related issues
  • Max experience cap lifted
  • Boomerang exploit is now resolved
  • Alien Hominid can now drop the pitchfork!

Maybe now we can enjoy Castle Crashers for the game it is ... with friends! Ha, who said miracles don't happen at Christmas?

On that note, I'm off to the land of the fairies ... Have a great Christmas all and I'll be seeing all you lot later next week probably. Eat, drink and be merry.

Well, even though it is patched, I tried to invite a friend and when we were about to go to the character select screen, it says that game is no longer avaiable. I don't know what to do.

good. Finally I can try to get those 2 ranked achievements. Before, I can rarely ever find a game or it would crash back to main menu.

Cool, things needed to get fixed

I didn't really see the issues in it big enough that they'd need to be fixed. Oh well, nice to see it anyway.

What the hell! I just completed it yesterday after having it since release thinking the patch would never come... this takes the piss!

Comment #16 by Bastado
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 @ 07:27:10 PM

HA! I just completed this yesterday too. That is a nice fix to the arena matches, as i didn't know it had to be 40 of one type to get the achievement. It ended up unlocking around 63 because I did a variety of diff matches.

I wish I had started playing ranked matches after today. Ehh...

Arena Master achievement will now unlock after any mixed arena matches.

Does this mean it doesn't have to be ranked matches?

i could care less im not wasting that much time on two 15 point achievments for the multiplayer i got 170 for it im fine with that unless someone wants to boost then send me a message =)

Well this would have been great like 2 weeks after it came out...

Wednesday, December 24, 2008 @ 10:21:32 PM

i just boosted to 41 wins today and still no arena master achievement. WHY

Comment #24 by ChaseyMcGrady
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 @ 10:32:21 PM

I logged in today and all my characters were level 1. Odd since I have about 6 level 30 characters, but whatever. Don't say it's fixed if it isn't. I'll boost my final "all you can quaff" acheivement when I get back to college. Lame. Such a shame for such a fun game.

I was lucky enough to never encounter any problems, but I'm glad they finally got around to patching it for everyone else.

It's about goddamn time!

I already 200'd this game though, but now I might have the motivation to actually play it online again.

Finally, this game was unplayable online.

There is playablity beyond 100% completion you know... Try unlocking all the characters, or I don't know, go have some 'fun' playing a game since there is nothing to side track you now.

@ #33 I've never heard of something called "fun". It must be a n00b thing.

WTF is the point of the boomerang now??? It has no real use as an offensive weapon in the game, I thought they programmed it that way on purpose.

Yes I have been waiting for this!

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
