Rainbow Six Vegas patched

Nothing bogs down a multiplayer experience like buggy software. Ubisoft knows this and is doing all it can to fix issues that have arisen with its latest popular Xbox 360 multiplayer game, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas.

Today the publisher released the game's first patch, an auto-update that primarily addresses problems with the multiplayer portion of the game.

Among the fixes to multiplayer are remedies to several crashes in competitive and multiplayer games, better performance when using the Xbox Live Vision camera, improved voice chat support, and, for the achievement junkies, a correction to the Siege Specialist achievement. On the single-player side, the main fix was to the game's voice-recognition system.

The development team has acknowledged that some other problems still exist and that the team is setting out to fix them. For a full list of the patch's changes, head over to Ubisoft's forums.
