SoonTM.
I don't believe they gave any date. The patch is very likely waiting for Sony and Microsoft to verify the content of dbd patch, which is totally out of control of the dev's control.2

Considering E3 has been going on, I'd imagine certification is a bit delayed. The devs are doing the best they can with what they can do. Believe me, I want it badly but we are just going to have to wait a week or two.

What does E3 have to do with anything? I'm sure, at least I hope, it wouldn't be delayed because of ######### E3.0

I think it’ll take quite a while. At least a week or two. I’ve read that currently there are lots of issues. Like one of The Billy’s Hammer skins, the code for it is completely missing from the game after the update. It’s not the only code that’s simply missing, either. I know this is a database problem, but I don’t know if it will have an effect on the certification process. I believe it will and Sony and Microsoft will denie the certification until it’s resolved.0

I believe no, however after the confirmation that the fix patch is ready, they’ll approve the certification of the original patch after they’ve certified the fixing patch as well.ThePloopz said:

Basically, they’ll hold off pushing the 2.0.0 patch live till after they certify the patch that fixes the issues. Basically we have to wait for two patches to be certified before we get any patch. Then they’ll release the both at the same time.0 -

At this point i don't care when we get it. I'm not buying it. I will grind it. Another weak loadout of survivor perks just like Tapp and Quentin. The clown is meh. His perks are not anything i would switch out what i currently use. I will grind it just to have it.0

Same certification process Microsoft had for Final Fantasy 11. That was cross platform play between PC and Xbox 360 years ago as well. We had to wait as well back then. Well, PC had to wait as well. Square Enix didn’t release the expansions for PC either till Microsoft certified for the Xbox 360 as well. If there was an issue, the expansion/patch didn’t come out till it was ready, and the hit fix patches were certified as well. You’d download the expansion and 3-4 patches at the same time directly after the expansion was installed. Caused a lot of grief between the PC/console wars debate.ThePloopz said:

@SovererignKingWell if there’s an issue with the patch isn’t that the devs fault and not Microsoft in that case since they know they have to go through the process and it has to meet a certain standard
0 -
yes, not much longer. patience. the devs have been very good to us.0

There always some problem with this game when one sorted another arises no matter what this game will never be 100% full proof and definitely not with the release of there new game0

@ThePloopz
Absolutely. It is the developers fault. However, I’m more than willing to give them a pass and say don’t worry about it. It’s a rather massive update that has many changes to the game, something is going to go wrong. Like at my job, I work with precise machinery. Everything is calibrated to the nearest millimeter. Even the slightest little miscalculation could lead to broken machinery and parts.
Programming is is in the same boat. One accidental “:” instead of a “;” in the code, and everything falls apart. With the sheer size of this update and DLC, It would be nearly impossible to not have something be wrong.
As as a player, it’s disappointing and sucks, but i’ll deal with it. I understand their frustration and how hard it is to get the ball rolling on such stuff. (X_x)73 -
I'd say PS4 and XBOX will get the patch by next Friday.

It’ll probably also be different for different timezones. SCEA is faster than SCEE. Two weeks in England i suspect from when PC got it.

Is there any reference with past “big updates” for comparison? Hard to imagine it taking weeks.
0 -
They said 2-3 weeks max in the devs stream today. I am hoping it doesn’t take that long, but at least we know it shouldn’t be more than 3 weeks.1

Hard to imagine it taking weeks.I remember Friday the 13th having to go through console cert too for their patches and that didn't take no more than a week. But it might take longer for this patch because they have to add auric cell transactions into the console stores.

lol, maybe I'd be better saying we should get it sometime this year!!1

Haha..idk might be cutting it close1

I remember the Pig came out on Xbox before PC last time.

That was an accident with the Microsoft store. Though it was insane how many people were in full rage mode about it.Jeeperrs said:I remember the Pig came out on Xbox before PC last time.

Can’t wait for this update but I mean if they are saying 2-3 weeks they obviously didn’t put it into certification 3-4 days before like they said Friday the 13th had a full on ENGINE upgrade and their cert took a week and a few days so I think them saying 3 weeks at most either means they failed the certification or they only put it in now but I’ll wait cause I’m excited af2

Just wondering since PC got its update recently.When Sony/microsoft are done with their verification process, better ask them
0 -
If the Friday the 13th devs are better than you at putting out updates then you know you done goofed.5
-
On a more serious note, I think the fact that they aren’t holding the anniversary double BP event until July should signal that they really expect this to take a long time to hit consoles. Would love to be wrong though.
Idk how every other dev does it so everything hits together yet BHVR can’t grasp this technology.5 -
Well the ps4 and Xbox tournaments are on the 23rd and 24th so I’d say before then if we’re lucky2

I don't believe they gave any date. The patch is very likely waiting for Sony and Microsoft to verify the content of dbd patch, which is totally out of control of the dev's control.Why on Earth are they even releasing it at the same time. Just have the certification ready so that they can be released at the same time. The devs had plenty of time to start it, then it wouldn't be out of the devs control, which is ridiculous, as they should be able to decide when they release their update for their game.

They don’t own the consoles so they can’t decide when it gets released until Sony/Microsoft are done with cert.WillGaming said:@Runiver said:

Devs choice.
As far as I know, the last time a similar situation happened, Microsoft released the patch without even asking BHVR to confirm, which was fun times.I imagine they do that in case of the patches not being certified for X reasons, so they don't delay the PC release furthermore due to console, since this game is originally made for PC and not for consoles.
