According to Microsoft, Xbox live is now running on 300,000 servers; that is a massive amount of servers to keep running 24/7 365 days of the year. There are going to be hiccups, but MS have been sorting them fairly quickly. Lets face it, Xbox live isn’t usually down for longer than 5 hours at most; with the odd exception thrown in here and there.
If you are signing into Xbox LIVE okay, but have trouble reaching the online features of FM5, go back to the Dashboard, use the small triple-line button above the right thumb stick, select Quit on the game. Then immediately launch the game again.
There were difficulties on this in the Pacific Northwest for a goodly portion of Tuesday, and again early a.m. (local time) Wednesday.
And also check: Xbox Support for the latest reports.
Forza was down for me last night as well. I could play FIFA and download the Destiny beta but couldn’t go into Rivals or anything. That isn’t a Microsoft problem, I restarted my console, unplugged from wall, all the little tricks and nothing worked. That’s not an MS problem when I can play other games.
This is a thread that shows up every single day at least once.
Please stop…you pay a subscription for this yearly and it’s down 5 hours at most multiple days a week?
Try them out, they don’t hog down too many resources either. I just found the Magic Actions thing today actually. The others I’ve had for a couple/few years. The AutoHD is real nice.
There is a thing for Twitch that is nice too. It’s called BetterTTV
Because I check on things before I post. Like the link I furnished earlier. If you wish to directly argue the point, feel free to PM me on these forums.
