What happens in Vegas ... gets patched

Those of you dealing with bugs in Rainbow Six Vegas every day, lift up your hands in joy, for a patch has been released. The patch will be applied by an auto update the next time players load Vegas. The patch fixes numerous issues, most notably the voice bug that has rendered the game nearly unplayable for some. The patch also fixes a number of crashing issues and removes proximity chat for some reason. Check out the Vegas forums for a complete list of all fixes.

Have any of you been so frustrated by these bugs that you stopped playing?

1. I'm quite disappointed they removed proximity chat. The patch seems to have fixed the dropping of players during a map change though, so that's a plus. :)

2. Oh man why did they remove proxy chat :( That was such a fun part of the game when playing versus friends. Kudos to them for releasing a fix SO FAST. Take a lesson from that SAINTS ROW!

3. Nope, it has frozen on me like 5 times since i've owned it but its a rare occurance at best. For me anyway.

4. Wow! Consoles may be killing PC gaming yet they're acquiring the same traits such as release buggy software, patch later.

5. Proxy chat was just unreasonable because you could hear people that were talking (in a quiet/normal voice) through doors and walls and from the floor below, which is completely ridiculous. It's unfair when people can hear what you're planning on the floor above you, when in any 'real' scenario they wouldn't be screaming it loud enough for people downstairs to hear it.

Also, it takes away a lot of the team-element, because players are forced to be quiet instead of plan and discuss things with their team mates, especially on smaller maps like the streets, where everyone can hear everyone half the time.

6. I'm glad they fixed that one touch Bomb glitch, in Dantes. i Shot a guy whom was in the process of defusing said Bomb. now normally before the patch that was it Game over. this time though i shot him the process adn the game kept going.

I am very glad for that.

I still occassionally get the prolonged gunshot sound.
but it doesn't last nearly as long.

also I have frozen in two consecutive times both in the last 3 minutes of a winning game... very, very frustraiting. and my system then freezes after I restart system at the press start menu.

this happend a lot before the patch and I had hoped it would be fixed after the release. but neh it has nixed me twice in a row. I haven't tried it again, incase it happend again and in the same circumstaces. then I'd be tempted to violate my 360.

so yeah the patch has sorta worked.
