Xbox 360 System Update Preview


Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or does Reach seem to now take an incredibly, incredibly, super long time to load. I had never finished the SP campaign, so I put the disk in and went to play it, and it literally took over 2 minutes to create the SP game? That one screen where it shows the lobby, game type, and basically creates the SP game for you. I am wondering if it has something to do with the new disk format, or if it is just an isolated incident on my end and no one elses?

And FTR, I thought maybe it was just a first time thing, so I quit the game completely, restarted the 360, fired up the game, and same deal. Took over 2 minutes to create the SP campaign game.

I also noticed I still had the same issue I always had, which was just specific to reach. Sound cuts out completely for a second or two randomly. Does not seem to be any specific sound that causes it to happen, just now and then sound cuts out completely. No rhyme or reason either. Can go 10 minutes without it happening, then it will happen 4 times in a minute, then 20 minutes without it happening, then 1 time in 10 minutes. Just weird. I will pay more attention, maybe it is a specific sound.

Hm. The first time I tried playing halo reach was for this beta test and I have not noticed any delays in loading. strange :unsure:

Update downloaded quite quickly, updating took a bit longer than usual, but nothing to worry about.

yeah. the update took a long time to install but i'm finally in. can't see anything different in it though. netflix appearance changed a bit but i'm guessing that's due to the kinect update?

SP always took quite a while to load for me. Dunno what to say about your sound issue.

Nah yeah, it always took a long time to load for me as well, but talking like 3 times longer then it used to. :unsure:

There isn't anything different. As I stated earlier and is stated on Connect, the update fixed a problem that some people were having that caused them to be unable to connect to Xbox Live.

Hm, I haven't tried SP yet with the new disc, so I'll check it out.

  • 1 month later...

Now that the Beta is complete will the Halo Reach disc from the Beta work on any console? Since I already owned it I was thinking of giving it to a friend (that wasn't in the beta). I know the simple solution is for me to keep the disc, but I'd rather keep the one with the art. :p

Yes.

Was this 'yes' for Ironman's question?

    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products.
