[update] New Xbox Dashboard preview now avaiable


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Also, when's the official release date? I read somewhere it's the 25th Nov.

6th Dec (Patch Tuesday) is what Major Nelson said the other day http://majornelson.com/2011/11/22/xbox-360-dashboard-update-coming-december-6th/

This is also rumoured to be the same day as the BF3 patch for the 360.

I think this is old news by a few days (not sure), but the app marketplace is now being populated :D I was just going through the Dashboard and noticed it. Trying them all out now...

Yep. I still can't find any other apps in the UK though :/

Well, the only other apps that have been released are from U.S. companies (as in companies that only offer services in the U.S.) right now, save DailyMotion.

Only apps I can use now are Netlfix and Hulu Plus. Zune and Last.fm keep showing as corrupted downloads and I have deleted them and cleared the system cache and they still don't download correctly. Everything worked on Thursday....

Download the Sky app and you can watch Sky News for free. If your using the new dash watch what it does under one of the new sections. The apps have all been updated so you may need to download it again.

Ditto. Zune music worked yesterday. Now it just keeps downloading, saying it's downloaded then not doing anything.

EDIT: Deleted all zune stuff, the app, updates, saved "games" and everything. Working fine now. Weird.

I had the same problem. Took about 10 re-downloads and deletes to get it to work.

These apps are all complete messes. It's insane how poorly they perform and how many bugs are in them, and yet this is supposed to launch in less than two days. The Epix app keeps giving me errors, and it's the same for a ton of other people. The Zune app is having issues that were mentioned previously in this thread. The DailyMotion app is slow as a snail.

They should have pushed these apps out to the preview program long ago for feedback. This is going to be a messy update.

No mention of Skype?

No Skype app has been announced. Given that Microsoft only recently acquired them, I'd say it's going to take a bit of time, especially since they'll likely put resources in putting Skype on Windows Phone first.

So... what time is this update coming out? It's past midnight EST, I want!

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The start of a new month means Nvidia is also preparing a whole month of additions to its GeForce NOW supported games list. The cloud gaming platform received its first update of June today, revealing games like Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Gothic 1 Remake for the service, while at the same time revealing what's incoming in the next few weeks too. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass) Fatekeeper (New release on Steam, available June 2) House Flipper Remastered Collection (New release on Steam, available June 4) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 4) GOALS (New release on Steam, available June 4) Gothic 1 Remake (New release on Steam, available June 5) NTE: Neverness to Everness (Launcher) The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Epic Games Store) XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) Nvidia also plans to add support for these games during the rest of June, though more titles will probably land as weeks go by too: STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions (New release on Steam, June 11) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, June 11) Denshattack! (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, June 17) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (New release on Steam, June 18) Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, June 22) Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (New release on Steam and Ubisoft, June 30) Farever (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
