Splinter Cell Double Agent Patch 2 Arrives

A Splinter Cell Double Agent update is now up on Xbox Live and available for download. Read on to find out the details of the patch.

Splinter Cell Double Agent Update 2 fixes the following issues :

• Connection Issues:
• Some instances of “the host has ended the session”.
• Disconnections in the lobby.
• Once the lobby reaches 5 or 6 people, random players drop.
• After kicking the 6th player from a team, the leader couldn't invite another player
• Group leader hangs in the "joining session" screen if the host quits while he is joining.
• Improvement of the server selection so that the server is more reactive.
• If a player leaves a session immediately when he arrives and they have some packet loss (he is in a resolving state), the resolving time out is not reset and in the next session he will kick all the players as soon as he arrives !!!!
• Only 1 disconnect function to each peer when resolving is timed out.
  

• Lag-related issues:
• In-game freezing: treats a limited number of Unreal packets per frame to avoid freezes in some specific conditions.
• Increased network thread priority over Sound thread that can reduce lag issues.
• Fix the case when a player got flashbanged while lagging as a mercenary; the player can remain permanently flashbanged until the player reboot the game.
• Fix FPS loss due to a sound problem.
  

• Others issues :A new Game Version to avoid LAN matches between master and update versions
• The loading video was always the same, now it's changed at random
• Fixed a bug on the score calculation of the Max Percent challenge.
• Challenge Best score is wrong if the player has just beaten it.
• Improved checks to avoid accessing an invalid leaderboard
• Allows to write leaderboards of live challenges
