I've had a couple of hours with it, and I've not really been that impressed. I guess it shines in multiplayer though, I've just been playing solo.

Yeah I've only ever played with friends. You really need to be able to hear someone swearing at you for blocking them or sending them off course for the best experience.

Not a fan of online gaming either. I did have a few games with my lad earlier today and had a blast though.

I'm wondering how the Xbox versions of VR will improve on PSVR.
I'm hoping for 4K (using the same fancy techniques as they use on PS4 Pro to get to 4K (maybe even HDR if that's possible) but without it being native 4K) and wireless, with much better wand controllers.
I also hope it can solve the stability and drift issue with PSVR as if they manage all that then I can honestly see myself using VR pretty much all the time.
Lastly I hope they can implement the VR feature where you can manually adjust the screen size and position for nonVR games and films and have some nice theatre sets as that would be simple to do and add quite a lot without having it cost anything.

I think Scorpio will really shine in VR as it can really use the extra hardware power to the full.

Can't see 4K headsets being supported for framerate reasons. 1440p would be nice, but its not all about resolution when it comes to the screens on VR headsets.

Also not sure what you mean by stability and drift issues with PSVR, not ever noticed anything like that. Only issue I've ever seen was a tilt, which was fixed by recalibrating the camera position.

I am enjoying Speedrunners a lot. One of the best free arcade I have had with Games with Gold - great with friends, like Mario Cart crossed with Ivan Ironman

Has anyone tried the Battleborn trail? I was intrigued, but am very disappointed that the co-op elements are locked. They should just go true free to play and hope to sell skins. I will play Paladins for versus as that is good enough for me. Just wanted the co-op.

Lucien wrote:My friend went on his Xbox One a fortnight ago and half his games went missing. As in, they've disappeared from his "Ready to install" entirely. His licenses for the games have also disappeared. Before anyone asks, it has nothing to do with gameshare. He owns all his games.

I'm not saying this asking for help, but to suggest you occasionally take pictures of the games you own. He's been trying to get it fixed for two weeks and he's strawberry floating livid. Which is fair because he's lost about 50 games. :dread:

He had at least one missing 360 digital game pinned to his Home page and sent it to MS as proof, so they know there's a problem, they just don't know what it is.

Without being condescending, Microsoft will know exactly what he owns and doesn't like straight away, his account is like any other online account ever (digital or otherwise) if he calls them he'll be sorted.

Sounds dodgy AF, first thing I'd do is call MS.

If your 'mate' is having problems it's not MS. call MS, they can verify your entire history.

If its second hand and wasn't resetted on purchase then, tough town.

Has he checked his purchase history on Xbox.com? It seems very unlikely that things would just go missing from there.

Has he got an external hard drive attached? A similar thing happened to me a while back. Fortunately a hard reboot sorted it.

As for proof of digital purchases, I always save the email as a receipt.

They changed how account history was handled quite a few years ago (2008 I think) so it's likely that anything before that time won't appear in your account history. I was under the impression that Microsoft finished fixing those issues last year however.



Check your purchase history here: http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/billing/x ... -live-bill

If you have items missing from this list from the late 2000's then change the en-GB to en-US in the url. I think that's what fixes the above issue from memory.



There were definitely items in the ready to install a few weeks ago? If that's the case then the above isn't the issue.

You could try restarting your internet modem/router. It's possible the connection isn't able to connect to the Xbox DRM servers

Or delete the gamertag profile from the xbox and then re-add it again.

Otherwise use Microsoft support web chat service

Air Missions: HIND was released today. Looking at some of the screenshots, that's remarkably unfortunate timing.

The highlights of the sale, for me:

Forza Horizon 3 Standard Edition* Xbox Play Anywhere 50% DWG
Forza Horizon 3 Expansion Pass* Add-On 50% DWG

As I said in the bargains thread, that's the main game and the two major expansions for £36 (if you buy the £40 credit from CDkeys).
