Since its launch in late July, The King of Fighters XII has taken a pummeling from fans and critics over its less-than-optimized online play. But finally relief is here…at least for PS3 brawlers.

A post went up on the Ignition Entertainment boards earlier today announcing that Patch 1.02 for the PS3 version of The King of Fighters XII has gone live, the aim to sure up the game’s online netcode and eliminate all the bugs and lag players have been suffering through over the past month. No official word yet on when the Xbox 360 version’s patch will be released.

This patch comes just in the nick of time for me, as I’m already in progress finishing up a review for posting this week. I’ll have to update the game tonight and see how much the patch helps. Back with my final impressions in a few.

If you’ve been able to try out the new patch, let us know what you think in the comments.

Patch seems to have done the trick. Just finished playing 3-4 matches and no lag whatsoever. Big turn around from lag in every single battle I’d played before the patch. Off to play some more in a bit.

I’ve applied the PS3 firmware and KoFXII patch and haven’t had any problems, so not sure what to tell you.

Whenever firmware updates are released there are always rare incompatibilities, and unfortunately it sounds like that’s what happened on your system (I’m pretty sure your problem is related to the PS3 firmware than the KoFXII patch). There are also folks in the PlayStation forums reporting problems playing other games since the 3.0 firmware, and it sounds like some are even having trouble with DualShock 3’s not working properly. Best bet is to hit up the forums at http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/ and see if you can find others with similar issues. Sony is usually pretty quick in releasing follow-up updates patching any lingering bugs. Sorry it’s not working out for you :(
