Talk Playstation 3 News

Slant Six Games has found (one problem) to the latency issue. The problem they discovered was a server side one, which created games for North American players on Asian servers and vice versa. When the number of North American hosts were reduced the issue only got worse.

By playing on custom (game) servers the issue was not so big (depending n the hosts connection).
On February 15th they returned to the same amount of servers before they were reduced to attempt a temporary solution, while the server team works on a fix for the root problem.

We hope they solve this quickly before the European Servers get switched on.
