Brink Gets the Day One Patch Today on the Xbox 360, Welcome to the Lagfest

With Brink now available in stores, the Xbox 360 version of the game received its first patch that is said to remedy the problems found on the game.

While the new patch indeed fixes “some” of the issues with Brink, it does however include a major “lagfest”. Instead of fixing the promised issues we found such as minor graphical glitches, it seems that the patch kind of made things worse as there’s even more lag in the game when playing online.

The lag seems to only affect multiplayer modes. I suggest playing offline if you can’t bear the lag and wait for another patch. Luckily, owners of the PS3 version have no word if a patch is coming since the network is down and there’s no way to see how the online performs yet.
