Fall 360 dashboard update details
- Thread starter nintenho
- Start date
Yes, that is indeed impressive. I just tried it. Seems to shut down faster now too. Some good improvements. This is certainly one part that they've got down pat.
IIRC the downloadable updates often take some time to appear.
I have no issues over HDMI with the new update. Live howerver is getting hammered at the moment - I couldn't even log in to the website a few hours ago. I guess they underestimated demand for the Originals @3-5gb a pop.
It is amusing to see .NET errors on an official MS site though

DiVX is licensed, the license will only cover the 360's, not devices they are connected to.
Irrespective of where it is processed, for it to become an extension of Media Center then the serving device must be able to handle it as well. The term "Media Center Extender" means just that; if its not part of Media Center, it can't be extended.
My son was having the same problem as I was going to sleep not sure if its ok now
In general, if there are images involved, these load very slowly for me, though yesterday was probably an extreme example because everyone was updating.
There seem to be even more changes than there were on the already impressive list. Though not all of them are really benefits. For instance, if you're a Silver member, apparently you can now see that a Gold member is getting demoes a week before Silver members (before they were just hidden to Silver members). Also, apparently if you have two accounts and one is a gold account that has bought a full version of an Arcade game, then right now another account on the same 360 cannot play that game. Though if true, that sounds more like a bug then something intentional, or maybe even a user error while creating the secondary account?
It's not new that Gold member get earlier access to content than Silver members. This has occured in the past as well, though only sporadically. However, it seems like this is becoming policy now (it applied to Culdcept Saga demo, HalfLife ep2 demo, free Xbox Originals themes, etc). You were always able to see the content though, although you used to get an obscure error code, whereas now it is an understandable message (i.e. this content is only available for Gold members, please check back in a few days). I think they cleared up more error codes to be more meaningful.
Have you had any problems with achievements on Live Arcade titles with the new update?
My son was trying to get the Pacifist achievement on Geometry Wars and he got a sound that he got it, but nothing showed up on the screen and it didn't register on his achievements list.
There have been complaints with Live Arcade games not working right if your profile wasn't the one that purchased the title, even if it's the same machine it was downloaded to. This shouldn't be the problem for Geometry Wars as that wasn't downloaded, it's on the Unplugged disc instead.

I got a couple of achievements with Undertow the other night, post dash update, and that was purchased on an alternative account (that I can attach my Canadian credit card to).
