The update didn't fix the disconnection issue I was having with my friend playing RE5 co-op campaign over Live :( We still get disconnections without reason. The interesting thing is that the private chat that we have going doesn't drop out when the session disconnects, so we are both still connected to Live without issue. It seems the game is buggy.

Xbox Live runs like crap for me on my Comcastic 30Mb/5Mb connection. Even with my $200 gaming router, DOCSIS 3.0 modem, etc. Hurray!

If I'm filing complaints about people or sending messages playing COD 4 / 5 it's horrendously slow.

We shouldn't have to use a "Hidden Feature" to make things work temporarily and as for flaunting a new feature that uses P2P technology instead of hosted.. well.. bad crack.

I'd have my old dashboard back in a flash.

Also, is there any list of the games that were fixed, or is there no list? Does it just affect a bunch of them?

For you guys complaining about a "laggy" guide (wrong terminology, slow is actually an easier word as well), try this:

1. Turn Auto Sign in off.

2. Turn the 360 off.

3. Turn it back on, signed out.

4. Clear your cache.

5. Reboot.

My guide was so unbearable slow on the NXE I was about to send my system in. Make sure you follow the steps because it does work, or at least help. Deleting the marketplace content file might help as well.

So, Major are the problems stated here and around the net getting looked at or just brushed aside? I planned on getting Godfather II and LSL but not now since I wouldn't even be able to play them. I'm sure gaming companies would love this trend to continue............

@ Litheon

When the drops happen, sometimes it'll be everyone dropping, sometimes just a few simultaneously.

If staying connected to party chat were just down to individuals connections then these simultaneous drops wouldn't occur would they? Otherwise it'd be one heck of a coincidence.

Also, thanks for your guess at what bandwidth is being used by the party chat function, but I'd still like some kind of official word on it.. not too much to ask, someone at microsoft must know and it can't be super secret classified information.

I actually though you worked for microsoft, my bad, sorry, nice connection setup though.

I'm not going to go into specific details of me n my friends connection speeds/setups (it could end up looking like a "My pipe's bigger than your pipe" situation), but suffice it to say I/we have been around gaming and "teh interwebz" long enough to know that these drops from party chat are highly unlikely to be down to our bandwidth.

This issue of party drops, along with the very poor performance of marketplace do need addressing in some kind of official manner, there's a heck of a lot more people affected by and getting pretty annoyed by them than actually complain about them here or on various forums.

Since this update, every video I play through the Video Library has the info bar/video controls visible. Usually they go away after a few seconds, or when I press the Info button on the 360 remote. They don't anymore. This happen to anyone else?

princeworm, explain how all my discs worked before the update then? Plus, I've read of plenty of people having trouble after system updates for the 360 over the years and I'm not the only one having problems after this one. And after this update it sometimes takes 3 or 4 tries just to get my system on. I wouldn't be upset if this stuff was happening before the update but it wasn't and I have every right to be pissed off.
