I know I am late, blame Work. :p Just installed it, and created my Avatar (which I think looks awesome by the way); very impressed with the whole thing! Seems much quicker, nice to use and will still have plenty of X360 use yet!

Nice one Microsoft. (Y)

How come my friends have different stuff behind them? For example, one has a guitar with amp and another had a 360 pad.

Can this be changed?

I think it may have something to do with the theme they've chosen on their own 360. I haven't seen an option to change that background image myself.

My Xbox is now randomly freezing on the Dashboard since updating. Anyone else? :(

Mine has frozen twice already while the focus was over one of my friends avatar. Had to press the power button :(

It's definitely something to do with xbox live, it never crashed with the leaked version.

So my annoyance is, if someone logs in to live, and you have the toast saying "sethos is online" for example, pressing the guide button is no longer conext sensitive, and it just opens the guide instead of opening Sethos Profile. Same for when you login and it says 16 friends online, it does not take you to your friends list.

Will try it later when I get an achievement to see if that works still.

It didn't work for me with some achievements in the leak, but I'm sure it worked last night.

It worked for me when I got an achievement in call of duty earlier

So at least the achievement toast is not broken.

Man Market place is really messed up, I wanted to try out the latest XBLA title, but cannot get it

hope they solve it soon.

Teething issues with such a large update.

No amount of controlled beta testing can dig up absolutely everything on a large scale update/change.

The NXE beta testing will have primarily been for system stability/bricking proof, any wee niggles like lag/server load will be sorted shortly no doubt.

One thing I wish they had for the avatars would be a soul patch. I have one in real life, yet no such luck in the game.

I wish they had lots of stuff.

More clothes, soul patch, goatee, facial piercings etc.

Hopefully we'll get these soon!

Can anyone tell me if they can replicate this?

Go onto the Friends channel, find a party with two people in, press A (should take you to a menu which lets you join their party and view their profiles), then back up again by pressing B. Does the whole dash freeze for you? Because it does for me and I have to restart the Xbox.

Yep mine freezes up too, but seems to unfreeze when I press the guide button. Odd.

I don't think it freezes completely but yeah, it hangs for a little while.

Kinda annoying really. I assume it must be with Live getting hammered still seeing as the NXE only got released today.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
