Posted December 20, 2006 Recently my 360 has been crashing quite a few times. Co-Op on Gears it crashed and a few times before that, anything to worry about or is it just because games like Oblivion and GoW are just demanding on the hardware? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 21, 2006 CoD3 patch and maps coming. Activision and Treyarch have announced they plan to release a new patch and two waves of multiplayer maps for Call of Duty 3. First, a member of the COD3 Multiplayer Team announced in the Xbox.com forums that they are in final test for a new multiplayer Title Update that should be available on Xbox Live in the coming days. When it propagates, the update will download automatically upon logging into Xbox Live and running Call of Duty 3. This update addresses many of the Ranked and Player Match issues that we’ve discussed over the last few weeks. While we’ve made a number of enhancements, the most significant improvement is that Ranked Matches join lobbies much faster through both Custom and Quick Match. Player Matches through Quick Match will now query a higher number of games before attempting to join, thus returning a better variety and better quality for the player. Additionally, we’ve added some gameplay, HUD and options enhancements. For example, brightness settings will be saved across both single-player and multiplayer; players will be able to instantly punish medics who maliciously team kill and revive continuously; Auto Team Balance will remain turned on after multiple map rotations, ensuring that each team always has an equal number of players; and players will be able to select either Axis or Allies in Ranked Battle games. These enhancements will create a more streamlined gameplay experience; however, please be aware that online play is always complicated by players with non-optimal router and connection settings – don’t hesitate to refer to Xbox Live’s “best practices” for router configurations, as it will prove helpful. The publisher also announced today it plans to release two waves of multiplayer maps after the holidays: the Bonus Map (free) and the Valor Map Pack (800 Microsoft points). The Bonus Map, named “Champs,” will take players to Port Royal de Champs, France for classic Call of Duty infantry-based combat that’s great for small to medium-sized online games. The Valor Map Pack will contain five new multiplayer maps that will take players through a maze of French locales that serve up settings primed for intense close-quarters action, whether via online, split-screen or System Link play. Shame the game's a load of shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 21, 2006 If anybody is still looking for a good program to encode videos to wmv to watch on the 360 I recommend this. Encode360 Beta 2.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2006 ^^ I keep getting loads of erroes with that like .NET framework. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2006 Have you got everything required to install like Windows Media Encoder and .NET Framework 2.0 ? I all ready had these installed so it worked fine for me, if you havent got these here is everything you need and where to get it in the readme.txt. Encode360 2.0 ------------- Installation Prerequisites - You need to have .NET Framework 2.0 installed. Get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en - You need to have Windows Media Player 11 installed. Get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/default.aspx - And most importantly, you need Windows Media Encoder 9, from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx - I recommend you uninstall ALL codecs, then install K-Lite Full Codec Pack from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm - During the K-Lite install, pick CoreAAC for AAC decoding. Otherwise you'll probably have problems decoding files with AAC audio streams. I also untick Windows Media Player Classic as I don't use this, but that's up to you Installation - Extract Encode360 to a folder of your choice - Download the latest FFMpeg from here: http://esby.free.fr/CelticDruid/mirror/ffmpeg - Copy FFMpeg.Exe from the 7zip archive to the Encode360 folder - TS file support requires Elecard MPEG2 Decoder - get it here: http://www.elecard.com/ftp/pub/mpeg/decoder/EMpgDec20.zip Please visit the Encode360 Forums for further info: http://dcunningham.net/forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
