Not long after a patch hit the PC and Xbox One versions of Respawn's debut title, the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall has followed in the platforms' footsteps, as the second update for the game is now live.
Respawn Explains Why They Ditched CTF and Pilot Hunter Modes for Titanfall on PC
There's the usual array of bug fixes, but the highlights are a fix for a disconnect error when using satchel charges, some localization issues, and more. An update at Titanfall's official site had the complete notes for the new patch, which you can check out below:
XBOX 360 PATCH UPDATE
Strategy Video Offers Tips for Titanfall's Angel City
* Localization Issues: Fixed several localization issues reported on the forums. For example the challenges Commuter Flight and Cowboy Up had the wrong plural tenses.
* Max XP: If a player reached the max XP level their XP would be reset. Most player saw this when reaching Gen 10 and their XP would be reset to 0. Other players reported that they would be disconnected from the server when this occurred. The XP is now properly clamped to avoid these issues.
* Satchel Server Disconnect: During the evacuation sequence if players attach satchel charges to the dropship and detonate them after the dropship has warped out, the server would crash causing all players to be disconnected. The crash issue has been fixed.
* Private Matches: Reduced the required number of players from 6 to 2 for private matches.
* Party Colors: Your party members and their titans now show up on the mini-map with green colors, instead of the normal blue colors that other friendlies use. Their names are also drawn in green on your HUD, the obituary text, and in the pregame lobby. This helps you figure out where your friends are and what they're up to, especially in the heat of combat.
* Auto Titan Color in Obituary: Your auto Titan's name now shows up in the obituary with the gold color that your own name does. Previously it had the same blue color as any other friendly. This makes it easier to keep tabs on how your titan is doing.
* Menu Changes: "Play Multiplayer" is now the default (top) option on the private lobby menu, if you've completed both the IMC and Militia campaigns. It has also been renamed from "Play Classic", since the term "classic", which we used internally, proved to be confusing once the game was released.
* Game Version on Main Menu: The main menu now displays the game's version in the bottom left corner. Now you don't have to wonder if you really do have the latest version of the game, and we can use that to double check things if we're ever troubleshooting.
