PC PES 2008 patched

By Tom Bramwell Published 2 November, 2007

Lag issues fixed. Woo.

Konami has patched the PC version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 to do sort out latency issues and correct other minor issues.

One of the tweaks made to the game also makes sure the speed with which the power bar fills up is now consistent. Consistent with what, it doesn't say. Bears perhaps.

Some small mistakes in the in-game text are also fixed. Happy days. You can download the patch from Konami's website.

  • kangarootoo #3 4 years ago

    I've heard the PS3 version suffers bad lag too, so it seems to be an issue across the board.

    Looking forward to them sorting out the 360 version now.

    Compare the online of Halo 3 vs PES 2008. Halo 3, almost a million people online at once when I first went on there and no noticable issues. PES 2008, I couldn't even get a ranked match to work for days, and now they do work they're laggy.

    Why can't more games be like Halo 3?

    Jesus christ when someone has a bad connection they warp everywhere.
    Was unplayable if they have a bad connection barely tolerable when they have a good one.

    Resistance has 40 players with no lag is it so hard to ask for 2 players + 20 Ai to not lag?

  • jamiscool #6 4 years ago

    Yeah would be great, apart from Vista's telling me I don't have sufficient privileges to install the patch. It's my freakin' computer, let me do what I want...argh

    Edit: Disabling user access controls seemed to work...

  • oceanmotion #10 4 years ago

    Lazy bastards. Get you finger out Seabass and Konami. It's been shit for years and you still can't get it right.

  • davisorle #11 4 years ago

    The problem with the PS3 version whih ive sen, tried out and laughed with is that it's not laggy online but just by playing solo. It's really sad to see that trust me. Everyone was very dissapointed since PES means a lot to ppl that are not even gamers but just love to play that game. I laughed my as off since on the 360 its better than the pc version too so I know where to play it at. My pc is waiting for the full version of Crisis.

    The 360 version thogh is really in need of update for the online. It's lagy like the ps3's offline game XD

  • Steroyd #12 4 years ago

    ...Resistance has 40 players at once... forty that's nearly double on how many Ai players are on a pitch.

  • zimzu #13 4 years ago
