People ask me on AIM all the time if Saints Row is laggy online. Yea, sometimes it is and other times, it's no problem. This was probally one of my worst lagged games on Saints Row multiplayer. Don't get me wrong, I love the game but.....

This has been talked about already. And Volition is working on a patch.

"Not being able to bust a cap in a rival gang member may be a blessing to inner cities, but in online gaming, it just isn't cool. Reports of technical issues in Saints Row have appeared on several message boards since the game's Tuesday release, with many gamers complaining about staring futilely at "connecting..." screens when trying to join games or lobbies online.

Thankfully (for gamers at least), developer Volition is stepping in to get virtual gang colors flying. In a post on the company's site, one of the team members has revealed that Volition is aware of problems and is trying to address them with a patch.

"We are working hard on a Live product update for Saints Row. It will fix various problems found after release, in both single- and multiplayer" reads the post. "At this time, we have no ETA on when the update will be available. We want it to be available soon, but we also want to make sure it addresses as many issues as possible."

Among the planned fixes are improvements to network lag, tweaking players' connection ratings to allow for more large-party games, and adjustments to matchmaking to get users in to games faster.

Volition also offers troubleshooting information for other Saints Row issues on its message boards. "

Yeah, Pretty much. They really need to release a patch soon because it's really annoying.

Nice work on the vid though.

They are releasing a big patch soon, not sure when. Its going to improve online and offline stuff. Online includes improving on the lag and matchmatching stuff.
