No idea if it's 100% accurate (I don't have the new dash yet) but someone posted info about dash speeds via reddit today:

[evilashchris]

New dash is brilliantly fast, but more than a little broken.

Xbox Fitness doesn't work, telly stuff is flaky as is the media player. I'm rolling mine back.

Nor because it's broken as that's the point of a beta, it's just that I use Fitness three times a week

Nah, that graph is definitely wrong - I wouldn't pay attention to it. Sending a message on PS4 is definitely closer to 16 minutes than 16 seconds.

Forza 6 and Elder Scrolls Online are both getting stuck on initial loading screens tonight. Is my console fucked or is this possibly related to Xbox Live or something?

[Yoshimax]

External drive? Have you done a hard reset?

[MrPogo]

Cheers, hard reset seems to have done it (hadn't heard of that before).

[Yoshimax]

If you even remotely like stuff of a Metal Slug ilk I can't recommend Guns, Gore and Canolli highly enough - absolutely loved playing through it it plays great, sounds great and looks incredible. Superb fun.

Party chat has been updated to allow 12 folks in, brilliant!

Just in time for Halo5 warzone where the team size is 12

There is so much going on, if you can co-ordinate 12 people, you'll hold the battlefield.

[Yoshimax]

Yep I think that's an impossible task - getting 12 folks together seems a tall order to me. Maybe at launch when it's new and more folks want to play.

[Wallace]

12 people in a party chat playing Halo together is going to be a mess. Game chat with halo 3 style "press UP to open comms" would be better.

But in general, 12 way party chat yay!

What's that? You'd like to volunteer for organising a RLLMUK Warzone party on launch day? Good man!

I bought this on release after seeing a four-second clip of it months ago. Sometimes you just know ... haven't had a minute to play it yet tho!

[Yoshimax]

Yeah I'm sure I can manage that. Some of us have had the opportunity to try it so helping hands and advice will be available.

Enjoy GGC - some nice achievements as well should be an easy 1000G. Only shame is the old problem of other signed in players not getting achievements while playing only the primary profile.

Valiant Hearts is up for download as the new Games With Gold 1.32Gb.

[Mr Do 71]

Wow. Playing the 360 version of Ground Zeroes, it's quite a drop in graphics from the Xbox One. Still very playable though.

[SnoopZakaDaVe]

live's down, again! thankfull they tend to sort it pretty quickly

[MojoChin]

Yeah the outages are getting a bit more frequent now...

[Wallace]

Yeah it feels like a weekly occurrence nowadays.

[angel]

cant play gears campaign offline because i cant sign into my gamertag. unbelievable

[Fry Crayola]

Does it work if you disconnect the Xbox from the internet?

[Varsity]

It depends what settings you have on I believe. I could never play stuff offline originally because I set it so I have to put my password in every time I sign into my Gamertag. Some games don't seem to like it whatever you do though.

[angel]

its a digital purchase if that makes any odds. nice to get a brief taste of what almost was

[rafaqat]

Turning off the Internet connection in settings is supposed to work and let you play. Never tried it though.

[Boozy The Clown]

Not if you're game sharing.

[MojoChin]

Haha, are you actually going to complain that a loophole, that allows you to play games for half the price you would normally pay, isn't available when Xbox Live is down?

Of all the things to complain about, that is pushing the envelope.

[Boozy The Clown]

Just pointing out something I discovered last night. Could have fixed it by making my machine the Home console but chose to wait it out and did something else.

[BitterToad]

Well, it'd also stop you playing if you were using the system legitimately. Admittedly you could just walk to the other room of your house and play that Xbox but what if there was already someone on that?

I'm sure there's a ton of people sharing games between families. Yes sirree, certainly not just us cheapskates being hurt.

It's the families I'm worries about, oh yes!

Don't see how that makes a difference? The system isn't in place to allow you to share your purchases with other people.

[T Pot]

Exactly. This is why I don't gameshare. Anything happens to my internet connection or Xbox Live, I can't play my games. You don't have the right to complain when something doesn't work if you are exploiting a loophole to get it cheap.
