:blink: Hi, I've just bought an XBOX 360 and have it hooked up to my 20" Widescreen monitor with the VGA cable. All the games work great except for PGR3 where I get loads of corrupt graphics making it impossible to play. It's like when you overclock a graphics card too much. I'm not getting this problem on any of the other games and when I looked on Google couldn't see anybody else reporting this. Anyone have a clue what might be wrong here?

Take a picture of the problem. It might be your xboxs overheating, but if it only dose it for pgr3, then its probally not...?

I've had odd corrupt graphics in PGR3 too. Ive not seen any corruption in PGR3 for a while now, but when it happened there was a big pink square that would briefly appear in the bottom left or top left of the screen.

The one thing I have noticed my 360 doing in PGR3 though is that the HUD overlay of the map or the gear/speed display sometimes start randomly dissapearing for a split second.

It is strange though, I have 11 other games for my 360 and all of those run perfectly well. It makes you wonder what PGR3 is doing that other games are not...

I used to have this problem, in PGR3 the GFX would just go nuts exacly like you showed in that photo, in Test drive and NFS it just froze... I strangly found that the problem was to do with streaming music from my PC o_O I noticed the GFX would only go nuts when the music track changed, so I used PGR3's built in music and I haven't had the problem since!!

I dunno if my units bust, or its a common problem... It explained why I didn't have any problems in PDZ and GRAW tho as I never stream music into that :/ But I'm gonna try and take it back in October, then if it fails again I can change again for the new revision hopefully hehehe :D

Guess. We have some known Sony trolls who love to leave their mark on the MS forums.

To be fair the same things happen in the Sony forum too.

The people giving the low ratings really should stop doing it as it ends up ruining it for everyone.

Anyway, back on topic........

I've had the graphics error in .... err...whats that game.. the one that comes with the 360. Select the music to stream and bam, graphics go to the poop. I was probably streaming music while I had the error in PGR3 as well...

i may not be remembering this right, but didn't PGR3 only support 720p high def and not 1080i? its on the back of the box...

Nah, it supports 1080i, but there was all that crap about it being rendered at less than 720p (personally I think its the best looking game on the 360.. :blush: )

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
