[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.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
