[OFFICIAL] X360 Dashboard/Game Updates


Recommended Posts

Yeap, it's a great update, really brings the multiplayer aspect on par with other quality multiplayer titles.

I agree, and I'm finally able to enjoy the Live MP of CoD2 with friends :)

Chaos Theory was on the list at launch I believe, but it was buggy as all hell last I tried. It would freeze up if you tried to do Co-Op with someone on an original Xbox. Maybe it's compatibility was updated back in February and it works better now?

Yeah, the Campaign/Co-op works fine until you go on Live, then it makes you Auto-Update, which in reality, actually screws up the Campaign/Co-op levels (freeze on load). The only way to fix this is to delete the save game files in the dashboard.

In conclusion, you can either choose to: A) Be able to play Campaign and Co-op but NO live play or B) Live play but NO Campaign or Co-op

Seems Chaos Theory has been updated one more time.

Halo 2 seems to have been updated as well. I popped it in tonight to get a few games in and I was prompted before loading the game that an update was available. So I downloaded that and then it restart and loaded Halo 2 again just like any other Live update. I'm not really sure what changes were made, but I presume it has something to do with bettering the emulation engine, maybe the slow-downs in backwash aren't there anymore or the failure to load map bug is fixed. I haven't been able to test out backwash but I didn't have any 'failure to load map' errors, so maybe that was fixed.

Can anyone find any info or confirm this update?

updated for me aswell.

says v1.1 on the title screen, didnt notice it before but might have been there...

The v1.1 you are referring to was there since the release of the Multiplayer Map-Pack (and even earlier with the Live update over the summer). It addresses various gameplay issues regarding grenade/melee attack strength amongst other things.

I think the mandatory update that was released yesterday deals with the emulation engine for the Xbox 360, but I'm not sure as to what exactly has changed/been improved.

Not sure where oddcrap is, he's falling behind in the updates to this thread, but anyway, I'll attempt to pick up the slack:

Big Updates Coming for the 360

Xboxic

:blink: If they add Movie support... I'm going to have to eat so many hats after I declared it would never happen.... and just as I started building my Media Center PC as well :\

Motherboard failure :no: It was horrible..

Ahw man, I'm sorry to hear that. I recently went through a major hard-drive crash. It's so frustrating... Hope all is well!

It is going to happen. There were reports a while back about how Microsoft and DirecTV are partnering up to provide content on the Xbox 360 (presumably). It's definitely happening, but as to when, no one really knows but it will most likely be towards the end of this year/early next.

Oh.. so that doesn't nesscarily mean Movie == Streaming Video files?

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but it seems theres a date for the PGR stuff;

Speed Pack will be available April 17--part for free, part for five bucks; extras include tournament feature, a dozen new cars.

Every car enthusiast knows there is no such thing as too many high-priced, luxury automobiles. Bizarre Creations' Project Gotham Racing 3 not only lets gamers speed around real-world locales such as New York and Tokyo, it also lets them collect some real-world cars.

Project Gotham Racing 3 players' virtual garages are about to get a bit more cramped this month, as the developer has revealed the game's first downloadable content pack will be available April 17. The Speed Pack will be released in two parts, one that is free of charge and one that costs 400 Marketplace points ($5).

The pack is being made available the same day that qualifying for the game's first global tournament debuts. The game's free download includes access to the tournament feature, as well as one new car and "new feature enhancements and fixes." Those who plop down the 400 Marketplace points will get 12 new cars, including a Ferrari 612 Scagletti and Aston Martin V8 Vanquish

You mean streaming video files without an MCE 2005 PC? Support for that is coming as well to ordinary Windows XP computers and it will also be available in Windows Vista. There was a post by MajorNelson (I believe) regarding this functionality coming eventually.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
