Xbox 360’s Team Fortress 2 patch update available on XBL

Valve Corporation‘s FPS compilation The Orange Box (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, PC) was easily one of the most anticipated releases of late 2007. The anticipation turned into frustration, however, as Xbox 360 version owners found connection issues in Team Fortress 2.

Reports of terrible lag, disconnections, and similar problems resonated throughout the Internet, prompting Valve to take action and announce last week that a patch is coming to address the problems.

Valve has kept its word to deliver the Team Fortress 2 patch early this week and it’s now available via Xbox Live. The patch is automatically downloaded once you start the game.

This is the changelog of Team Fortress 2‘s patch for the Microsoft Xbox 360:

• Reduced network bandwidth usage in multiplayer
• Improved overall game performance
• Arranged search results to favor preferred host conditions
• Improved searching for ranked games
• Addressed a possible false report of too little storage space on larger hard drives

On a side note, The Orange Box PC version owners have not reported any trouble with their version of Team Fortress 2. The Orange Box also includes Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Portal.
