Rainbow Six Vegas patched

Auto update on XBL now.

Ubisoft's first patch for its squad-based tactical shooter on the Xbox 360 has been released today.

The auto-update focuses mainly on fixing bugs in the multiplayer game; improving overall stability, Xbox Live Vision support, and voice-communication implementation. There's a minor fix to the 'infiltration specialist achievement', phew, and single-player voice recognition should now work properly.

Ubisoft is also keen to point out that this patch, based mainly on players' feedback, was already in development a few weeks ago. Unfortunately this means that some of the more recently discovered problems haven't been addressed yet, but the team knows about them and is planning to fix them.

For the full list of changes, head over to the Ubisoft forum for the game.
