Dashboard Update (aka the 1080p fix) w

The next time you sign into Xbox Live, you?ll be prompted for a dashboard update. The update contains:

* Improved support for HD video output over VGA, including 1080p resolution

* Improved plug and play performance for wired headsets when being used with wireless controllers

* Changes made to recently played games list to improve accuracy

This update is being rolled out across the world, so you may not get it exactly at this moment, so be patient.

Lumines Live! Advance Challenge pack availableack available[/color]

The first add-on pack for Lumines Live!, the Advance Challenge pack, is available It?s 50.57MB in size and you get 20 all-new skins and a new leaderboard for Advance Challenge mode for 600MP?s.

The advance Challenge pack for Lumines Live adds some edge to the Base Pack with more challenging gameplay and 20 all-new skins! After clearing your favorite skins in Skin Edit mode, customised your gameplay experience! Don?t miss out on your chance to own these fresh, cool skins. Lumines Live! is currently available on the Xbox Live Arcade for 1200MP.

The Lost Planet trailer that got released on the Marketplace during the Bringing It Home campaign has now been extended with added clips of the single and multiplayer side of things. There is also now a message right at the end for all those that bothered to view it right through (and come on, why wouldn?t you?). It seems a multiplayer demo is on the way!

The video is worth anyones time. It isn?t very long, and right at the end of the video it displays a coded message. After deciphering it, it reads ?Multiplayer demo coming Winter 2006″ (the code is actually words in French). They have already given us a single player demo which, while it took some getting used to (for me), was actually hugely enjoyable. So with a multiplayer demo on its way, everyone can then truely make an informed decision as to whether to get the game or not, since we would have tried all the main parts of the game! Lets just hope that it isn?t as bad as the Prey multiplayer demo; now that didn?t warrant a purchase!

Backwards compatible Mode? More games?

Today, the Xbox team released a mandatory update for the Xbox 360 dashboard. This free update, is now available over Xbox Live. There are no new features in this release, but rather a series of fixes and enhancements. Some of the items the update addresses are:

  • Improved logic around deciding if saved games should be deleted and offer the option to only delete the profile and to leave all save data.
  • Users reporting blank Friends List on the Xbox 360 dash after muting a friend while playing a game in
  • Backwards Compatibility mode.
  • Improved synching of games played to Web and in console.
  • Network settings: keyboard does now allow entry of - (dash) character in the keyboard.

Still on the old patch im afraid... Patience is a virtue?

I am off from work these next two days so I am actually home, and my question is this update supposed to just happen automatically?

I just fired up my 360, I am in the dashboard signed into Live and nothing has updated on it's own.

Do I have to go somewhere to get it?

TIA

Also oddcrap, where did you get that Signatre for your gamer card?

I like the design way better than the one I am using now.

Strange.

I checked the Marketplace, Arcade (for no good reason I might add) Signed Out of Live manually they Signed in again and I still do not see anything.

For the people who got it did it let you know there was an update?

Or did it just update it in the background?

The reason I asked is when I first fired the 360 up, it did take about 2 minutes to pop up and say I was signed into Live. But it said nothing at all about an update or anything like that.

I signed out of simon286 and signed in as simeandrews (I own both accounts, simeandrews didn't keep my gamerscore when I set it up, so I changed my simon profile to a name that would be available). I got the update instantly, but Star Wars Battlefront still doesn't work :cry:

Thanks. (Y)

And still no update here. signed in and out about 5 times.

Who knows really what is going on.

I guess I will get it when I get it.

Have you tried turning off your xbox completely, or played a game on live instead of just signing out? I just turned mine on when I got home and it automatically popped up a sexy box :huh:

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed.

Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By excalpius · Posted

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
