[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.

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
