Castle Crashers patch is coming TONIGHT! YAY! photo

That’s right boy and girls; Microsoft has finally approved the Castle Crashers patch. The title update will be live in the next few hours at 2AM Pacific and should address all issues with online play, game saves and all of the other little exploits. The Behemoth will have a detailed post on the Dev Blog sometime on Wednesday detailing all the specifics.

It’s been a long hard bumpy road for the Castle Crashers team. The game out in August to rave reviews but then people started to have a ton of problems with the it. Patches were promised and it has taken nearly four months for the patch to finally be approved. 

Personally, I didn’t care too much about the issues with the game. I have yet to play online with anyone, but I enjoyed the experience and got its worth after playing through the game a few times. Now I have a reason to go back and play the game finally with you all on Friday Night Fights. Of course, I understand all the anger over the game and have to wonder if it’s too little, too late.

[Thanks, Buck F1tches]

Why this took so long, god only knows. I didn't know it was broken when I bought it. I don't have love, but I wouldn't have purchased it had I known it was erasing saves.

I just want to say that knowing from first hand experience, the delay probably had just as much to do with Microsoft and their certification process as it had to do with Behemoth.

I'll play if people are willing to. I'm gonna be up most of the night pricing a shit-ton of comics I found in the truck of my car, so I could use with a break sometime.

as great as this game was I didnt touch it after beating it once with someone the night of release on XBlive. Finding online games were too damn frustrating to play again...

sweet deal. I actually just bought this a few days ago (so I hope they DON'T drop the price right away lol)

really awesome game...but damn if they didn't make the unlocking system retarded. I can't share all my characters across local accounts?! are you serious?! When the hell are my casualfag friends gonna grind a bunch of characters and beat the game a few dozen times?

Well, that should finally vindicate the Castle Crashers fanboys who have been defending this game (that was knowingly released broken might I add) since the issues were discovered.

I do find it cute that the fanboys/Behemoth are still insisting that it's Microsoft's fault the patch took so long though.

this is great. but I still can't get over the fact this took 4 months for Microsoft's approval yet the GoW2 patch took no longer than a week or so after it was addressed.

thanks a fucking lot Microsoft.

Oi, I don't get some people. They way people talk about havin played a game and being done with it.

Whatever. No Rants on the holidays . . .

HOORAY FOR PATCH! I just played a quick match that 1) actualyl connected me with 4 random people and 2) didn't wig out part way through a level!

I'll definitely play more of this. Call me strange, but there's something about playing random people that gets me hot . . .

I've said too much . . .

About fucking time. Unfortunately, few people still care enough to want to play it at this point, including me. Once Left 4 Dead came out, all desire for Castle Crashers disappeared. Now, how's about some free content to bring us back?

I shit you not, it takes forever for Microsoft do approve things. My downstairs neighbor in my apt building was working on an Arcade game and actually gave up on Microsoft because the approval process was such a hassle. I think he was going to try to get it up on WiiWare instead.

So Behemoth must be on some MS blacklist right? I mean they've had two bugged titles where the update took forever to come out. Surely it can't be on their end when every other company can put out a patch in two weeks time.
