Xbox Live Market Place - General Discussion Thread 1

All downloaded fine using the xbox. It does seem to be taking rather a long time to load however.

There seems to be a problem when you start Game Room, It'll say its loading but the bar stays at about 30% and nothing happens.

Do they actually test anything these days?

[Mr.Do!]

D'oh!

[Dezm0nd]

Having the same problem, jesus.

[Mr.Do!]

Well I've DL'ed everything, will wait and see if Microsoft release a patch

[Paulos G]

I just quit to the dashboard and tried again. Still gets stuck at the same place though. Have tweeted xbox.support about it and will let you know if/when I hear anything.

[Malc]

I'm having the same issue as well. Not a good start for Game room.

[Dezm0nd]

Even Virtual Arcades are doomed before they're even open

[Malc]

I just tried redownloading everything which hasn't worked.

It seems to load up to about 30% and then stop when it asks you to download the game packs for it. My guess is that the game room isn't registering with the game packs correctly, causing it to just halt.

[merf]

same here, came here to check and see you all have same problem.

[Brats]

I can't download the game packs now, it says they are unavailable on the web. Could it be those that are bodging things up and they have now removed them?

[Paulos G]

AceyBongos is on the case.

[concretesnail]

i have the same issues as you guys. when i first booted game room it asks you download the packs but it doesnt work. back to dash and downloads work fine. back into games room and now the load bar sticks at thirty percent-ish.

[Dezm0nd]

From a fella on the Eurogamer comments, it works, just done it myself.

1. Sign in
2. Load Game Room and press start.
3. When Loading hangs, press Guide, press X to sign out.
4. Remove network cable/usb for Wifi.
5. Sign in with profile.
6. Press Start and press B when it says you must be signed in XBL to use all features.
7. Room loaded, it asks you if you want to sign into XBL to get most of features (Note this is the second time its asked you). Attach Wifi/Network cable and wait till you get the green light (On Wifi).
8. Connect to Live.
9. Play.

With console gaming as streamlined as that, you can see why the PC market is dying
