The graphics are still blurry and non-loading post-patch. (If that was the day 1 patch SD was speaking of). If that patch when you first starting up Brink was this "amazing" day 1 patch, it was pathetic. It seems to have fixed absolutely nothing.

hate to say it but its not 'the nature of the beast' i can play halo three which is how old and not lag out? same with any old COD game.....i just want to play brink without skipping everywheres i didnt pay 60 bucks for a sub par game that is full of online problems

me and my friends are getting crippling terrible lag as well. What the heck is going on.

AWFUL LAG. I CANT EVEN ENJOY MYSELF. THIS IS WORSE THAN NEW VEGAS FREEZING PROBLEMS. BETHESDA NEEDS TO LAUNCH COMPLETE GAMES, NOT THIS HALF-ASSED GARBAGE. I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY AND I FEEL LIKE THEY STOLE IT.

As dramatic as this guys' post is, I am going to have to agree with what he said. The online gameplay is virtually unplayable.

As with everybody else, The lag makes the game unplayable..I just feel very disappointed right now :/

^^^^^^^^^^^^

EDIT: It is quite disappointing that I've literally been waiting for this game checking the website everyday for the past 2 months and get this [censored]? And I had to pay for it?? There are better F2P garbage online. Worst part about it is I even convinced my Best Buy to do a midnight release of this.... Biggggg fail. Hope this gets better, lucky I am now trying the PC version as I got a free copy from work.

Playing on 360. No problems as of yet. No Lag, no crash, no lockups.

For those that have lag, have you checked out the videos on youtube for setting up your router to work better with Live? Most people forget to check this out.

Though normally on release day, of a big release, I expect a bit of lag due to the amount of people jumping on and playing. Usually gets better after a week at most.

Guys the game just came out. Calm down. Its the first day. This has happen with every other game. Go look at Mortal Kombat. As great as the netcode is,the first few days it lagged pretty bad. Same thing for Marvel. If you just wait it will get better.

SD need to fix the lag asap if it's as bad as everyone is saying, I mean it's a game fully based around online play.

I've been playing since 4pm Est. time. I logged right into a Live game and it ran smooth as silk. Didn't really know what I was doing though lol. So, I tried playing some campaign solo to get myself familiar with the gameplay. Logged an hour or so and decided to go back for some Live. Tried 3 matches and was unplayable lag. Got frustrated and went back to solo. Now, the first game I played was a freeplay match and the others where campaign co-op. I don't know if that makes a difference will try again soon. Overall i think the game is really fun though. I also haven't been noticing the texture popup. I have my game installed on hdd. If there is texture popping going on I'm not noticing it. Also, no crashes or freezes.

The games P2P, What does it matter how many people are on?

Negative, sir. I got MK9 at midnight release and the Servers were up for me. Now, the MK servers are down all the time to me.(not my connection seeing as i ethernet to my xbox)
But as far as brink online gameplay, i think this lag is more than a host problem. I have good and bad lag matches.

I have to agree with most of the people here who are angry its one thing to have lagg its another story for it to be unplayable for long periods of time and not migrate the host or at least monitor the latency of a connection and if its bad kick them out of the lobby because its 1 of 2 things. There either lagg switching or there connection svcks and its going to ruin the game for everyone in the match, preventative measures should of been in place for this exact situation long before release. This is why there are beta tests or at least extensive stress testing of the netcode to see how it would react.

What the hell, what patch? i didn't receive anything, when i go in-game it doesn't pop-up anything. (I'm on Xbox)

I can't play multiplayer at all, so I just got some challenges completed. Pretty frustrating though.

Anyone know why I am lagging in single player? =\

Nawh. I know for me, it's the game. All other games run perfect multiplayer and then I pop in Brink and I can't even move in a multiplayer match.

Oh my boy but you did pay 60 dollers for a sub-par game full of online problems

exactly. i have yet to play a game without atrocious lag. the game is currently unplayable because it is so terribly laggy. im massively disappointed with this. if there isnt news of a patch to solve this problem in the next month, im returning this garbage.

patch asap or im out
i got new vegas day one too...
im debating not getting skyrim till way after release now
gamesas, you need to figure your crap out

All I can say is the lag is atrocious!!
I have hyped this game up tremendously to all my friends who ended up buying it. All of us were extremely excited, counting down the days to play
Today we start up a game in Campaign against bots and the lag was horrible. All night in private games even and there was nothing but lag.
The lag is so just so horrible and I feel like a total deusch for hyping this game up to be a great game.

I cat believe you all pushed up the date and released a BROKEN game.

Please Splash Damage, do something to remedy this. I totally disagree with all the negative reviews. I really enjoy this game when playing the game offline by myself.
This I hope will be fixed cause I really would love to play the MP part of this game, but right now the lag is so bad, we just cant.

I'm able to play some games without any lag and others with lag but not that bad.. I think some of you are overreacting. Give the people some time to fix the problems. This game is [censored] awesome!

Unplayable online
Please Fix
