:blink: Hi, I've just bought an XBOX 360 and have it hooked up to my 20" Widescreen monitor with the VGA cable. All the games work great except for PGR3 where I get loads of corrupt graphics making it impossible to play. It's like when you overclock a graphics card too much. I'm not getting this problem on any of the other games and when I looked on Google couldn't see anybody else reporting this. Anyone have a clue what might be wrong here?

Take a picture of the problem. It might be your xboxs overheating, but if it only dose it for pgr3, then its probally not...?

I've had odd corrupt graphics in PGR3 too. Ive not seen any corruption in PGR3 for a while now, but when it happened there was a big pink square that would briefly appear in the bottom left or top left of the screen.

The one thing I have noticed my 360 doing in PGR3 though is that the HUD overlay of the map or the gear/speed display sometimes start randomly dissapearing for a split second.

It is strange though, I have 11 other games for my 360 and all of those run perfectly well. It makes you wonder what PGR3 is doing that other games are not...

I used to have this problem, in PGR3 the GFX would just go nuts exacly like you showed in that photo, in Test drive and NFS it just froze... I strangly found that the problem was to do with streaming music from my PC o_O I noticed the GFX would only go nuts when the music track changed, so I used PGR3's built in music and I haven't had the problem since!!

I dunno if my units bust, or its a common problem... It explained why I didn't have any problems in PDZ and GRAW tho as I never stream music into that :/ But I'm gonna try and take it back in October, then if it fails again I can change again for the new revision hopefully hehehe :D

Guess. We have some known Sony trolls who love to leave their mark on the MS forums.

To be fair the same things happen in the Sony forum too.

The people giving the low ratings really should stop doing it as it ends up ruining it for everyone.

Anyway, back on topic........

I've had the graphics error in .... err...whats that game.. the one that comes with the 360. Select the music to stream and bam, graphics go to the poop. I was probably streaming music while I had the error in PGR3 as well...

i may not be remembering this right, but didn't PGR3 only support 720p high def and not 1080i? its on the back of the box...

Nah, it supports 1080i, but there was all that crap about it being rendered at less than 720p (personally I think its the best looking game on the 360.. :blush: )

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.

      It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
