New XBOX Experience - General Discussion

[KingBroly]

I think he means a pure format, which I'd suggest against. It sounds to me like you need to contact Microsoft.

Browsing the Xbox Official Forums, I found this interesting bit of information from a user. I do not know if it is true, but it sounds like it is very plausible.


"Its a dash update issue, the version 2.0.7363.0 update was made live on Friday the 16th, and removed shortly after.

If you got the update notification on Friday, your system should still work with the storage device that you used at that time, but NO OTHER DEVICES will work.

This isnt a network issue or cache issue so dont bang your head against the wall trying to figure it out. "


Here is another quote: "Yes, this means somehow the flash in your Console was updated to 2.0.7363.0, but not your storage device.

Every time you try to connect to live, you will be prompted to download an update that has been removed from live.

Until MS releases a fix, you wont be able to connect."


Interesting. If anyone wants to look at the thread, you can find it here:

So I just got an Xbox Arcade yesterday and ordered the 20gb refurbished HD from Microsoft. I haven't received anything beyond a confirmation. I was wondering how long these tend to take to arrive? A week, 2? What am I look at here? =D

Thanks as always for the response!

I accidentally purchased something because of the lag in NXE. Microsoft didn't care, and said no refund.

That is kind of hard to get past MS as they make it very hard to do that. The lag usually only occurs when loading the different screens and not once the screen is already there with all the text where you would see the purchase buttons.

 

[Malik112099]

You didnt accidently purchase it. You just didnt like it after you bought it.

So I have seen people mention lag and what not, but for it seems to hang for at least 20-30 seconds. If I do normal things like check out my friends list, compare games, just flip through the marketplace, or even just hit the guide button while playing a game, the system seems to "lock up" for a good amount of time. I sit there and then it works fine.

Is this normal that it is doing it for so long?

 

[Spybreak8]

Yea whenever someone sends me a message and I hit the guide button in response there is a long wait which sucks. Going through the marketplace takes forever for me but that's because of my connection.

Sadly that does seem to be the new normal for the NXE.

 

[Corvin]

Yeah the NXE lag is annoying, but to be fair the original dash had it's fair share of hang-ups as well.

 

[The 7th Number]

I dont have that bad of lag, even when i hit the guide button while playing a game.

I noticed how they removed the option to press the guide button when someone logs in, which would bring up their profile. This is good i think, cos half the time i would want to go to my guide right when someone logs in and id have to close it back up, wait for their pop up to go away and then hit guide again.
