In a forum post responding to gamers who have experienced lock-ups, among other issues with the recently released online-enabled Super Street Fighter II HD Remix beta, Capcom public relations head Christian Svensson said that the company will not issue patches throughout the duration of the beta.

We will not be patching the beta… resubmissions would cost a fortune and not go live for weeks even if we had (MS would have to reapprove every submission). This isn’t like the PC where a developer can make changes daily (for good or ill). All feedback and bugs will be factored into the final code.

Understandable. It’s unfortunate that the beta is bug-ridden to the point of frustration, but I wouldn’t blame Capcom for their stance on not issuing patches. As we all know, Microsoft’s Live Arcade certification process is quite slow, which makes releasing patches in a timely fashion next to impossible.
