I purchased Monopoly Plus in the sale and despite really enjoying it theres a really really annoying bug in it which stops you from playing it unless you jump through hoops... In case any of you are contemplating it I have mad a video moaning about it and explaining how to work around the issue. Brings my pee to the boil its ages old and ubisoft havent sorted the fault

Just checked, and I bought that back in 2016. Got a load of achievements on it and I don’t recall it ever crashing, so maybe the bug hasn’t been there from the start.

EDIT: good video though.

EDIT 2: And yes, the game crashes like hell now.

Thank you :)

I have managed to get it running a bit more, if you go on ubisofts site and log into your ubi account and accept everything this seems to stop the crashing bug, it's a pain though you shouldn't need a PC to get your Xbox game running right.

No news yet on a exact date, might find out on Tuesday but all games news is up in the air at the moment due to the protests.

No, of course, that’s fair enough. But I think that’s why some were dismissive - because they’ve already had it. Personally I’m glad to have it back in my collection.

It’s uses the same UI. Don’t be too upset.


Until they rehaul it after a year :shifty:


The irony being the last revision of the Xbox 360 interface was beautiful and still the gold standard for console fuctionality.

It really wasn't, boot up your 360 to see how slow it was.

Incredible to think people still believe this. Not only is it slow as hell it's also pretty weirdly designed. The current Xbox One UI is loads better.

I don't mind the Xbox UI. I mean, the home screen is still too crowded but the guide is streamlined right now and it runs fine at mo. Maybe people don't use the Categories feature much? I have a few, Current games, online/sp, 'everyday games' and others including Audio which brings up Spotify, Tune in, Soundcloud and podcast player apps and Video which brings up, Netflix, Twitch, Mixer and Youtube.

It took time but it's streamlined for my use...

Yeah, the customisability of the Xbox UI has made it a *lot* better now.

Xbox (Beta) App: Performance Updates and Mods

We have a great update to the Xbox (Beta) app on Windows 10, and I’m here to walk you through what’s happening! Some enhancements you won’t be able to see, but will totally notice, and some changes you’ll see and also notice. Updates are funny that way. Let’s jump in.

Let’s start with your feedback! Thank you for all your suggestions, comments, and reports to help us make the experience better for PC gaming. We’ve heard your feedback on download speeds, memory usage, and general app performance, and we’re excited to announce with this update, we’ve implemented some improvements to address this. Not to get too deep into the weeds, but we have rebuilt the Xbox (Beta) app from Electron to React Native, which streamlined the app experience. The app’s design will stay the same, and it will be even easier to download and play your games.

You’ll also notice a significant decrease in memory usage – we are using roughly a third of the memory we had prior to this update. Depending on your region, you should also be seeing improvements in game download speeds already; but we are still early in this journey and will continue to make further improvements.

Next up is mods. We have heard you: You want an easier way to mod your games while using the Xbox (Beta) app. We are excited to share some of the first steps we are taking to improve the mod experience.
The Xbox (Beta) app now has an easy way for you to enable mods for select games where the game developer has chosen to enable them.

This bring-your-own-mod environment allows you to look at mods from different mod distribution sites, download the files that are of interest to you, and enable them on the Xbox (Beta) app.

For those of you interested in modding games in Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta), here are some games that will support mods as of today:

DiRT Rally 2.0
Farming Simulator 17
FTL: Faster Than Light
Into the Breach
MudRunner

Before you enable mods with any of your games though, we strongly encourage you to read through the FAQ.
