Dragon Ball XENOVERSE, the latest video game for the franchise from Bandai Namco, has been host to a slew of issues since its launch last month, most notably with regard to network failures. Players are no doubt familiar with loading screens that hang indefinitely, being kicked to the title screen even while in an offline mode, and losing progress due to network drops. Typos and other inconsistencies have also been more than prevalent.

The company plans to release a 1.02 patch for the game today that addresses some of the issues, while at the same time preparing the game for its first downloadable content pack (which itself has yet to be given an official release date):

Online Services:
– Player Match (1v1, 2v2, 3v3) are functioning properly on all platforms. This mode is accessible from ‘Player Match Online’ desk in Toki Toki City.
– Multi Lobbies and Single Lobbies functioning properly on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 and we are still continuing to work on improvements on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC/Steam.
Please note that your network status can also affect the server connection.

Compatibility Patch 1.02:
– On March 10th, we will release Dragon Ball GT Pack 1 compatibility patches for Playstation 4, Playstation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360.
– This patch will ensure compatibility with the new content of the DLC Pack 1 to be released soon and will improve several issues as you can read below.
– We will have new details regarding the online events in the comings weeks!

To implement this update, we will be conducting server maintenance during the following times:

March 10th 5:30PM to 9:00 PM JST
March 10th 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM CET
March 10th 1:30 AM to 5:00 AM PDT
