From Software and Sega’s Xbox 360 mech game shipped to North America plagued with problems. Early on the bugs seemed limited to just online play, but later players reported frequent in game freezing. Even worse for a few unfortunate owners Chromehounds crashed their Xbox 360 and prevented it from playing any more games.

Below is a list of the specific changes in the patch.
