Dragon Ballfans are awaiting the announcement of the release date of the upcoming title,Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. The game was initially announced in 2023 and would be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam, but there have been no details on the launch date.
As players wait for the release of the game, they are currently playingDragon Ball FighterZ, but the smooth experience has been marred by issues, especially with the rollback netcode. It now seems like players will have to wait for nearly a month before Bandai Namco can bring a fix to the game.
Players Will Need to Wait for the Dragon Ball FighterZ Rollback Netcode Fix
WhenDragon Ball FighterZwas released, the rollback netcode was one of the most requested features by the fans. The rollback netcode was announced at Evo 2022, and it was finally added in February this year but had a disastrous launch with several problems.

The rollback netcode basically improves the online gaming experience for players, reducing latency such as input lag and visual stuttering that are seen in online games. The fans were happy with the release of the rollback netcode, but it also came with several issues, such as graphical issues, gameplay, and a few other problems, and these have been constant.

Players have been complaining about these issues, but there has been no response from Bandai Namco. However, the developers of the game have now taken cognizance of the problem. The developer took to the officialDragon BallGames X/Twitter handle and said that it is“aware”that players are having problems with the rollback netcode.

It added that the team is“currently working”to fix this issue, and it will be addressed“within”the next month. The developer also said that more updates will be provided as soon as there is a confirmed release date, adding,“We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.”
Fans Are Not Happy With the Long Wait for the Fix
Players have been complaining about this issue for way too long now. There have been several issues due to the rollback netcode update, including a visual glitch that results in characters freezing and sticking to the screen, character model scaling issues, constant crashes, and more.
Although the developer has said it is working on fixing it, fans aren’t happy with how long it took for Bandai to acknowledge it. A player took a dig at the developer, saying,“Took you long enough to make some statement about it,”while one questioned why fixing bugs is so hard for developers after game sales.

One player added,“This is the most “ugh, fine, we’ll fix the game we broke” statement ever written.”Some players didn’t mind the long gap for acknowledgment and said that developers should fix it as soon as possible. While players are okay with the issue getting fixed despite the long wait, one added that the game will die soon afterSparking Zerois launched.
