I hate the NXE (another rant)

[Twigg4075]

Don't get me wrong, I really like all of the new options and streamlined stuff. But ever since I downloaded this thing, which was not an option I might add, my browser is so ridiculously sluggish I want to kick a baby. Anytime I do anything with the guide button it takes forever to lad and sometimes just hangs or locks up for almost a minute. It really sucks when I try to accept a game invite and it locks up for a minute. The other person is like "What the fuck are you doing dude?" "Sorry, I'm waiting for this piece of shit to load up."
Plus when I try to check out items in the Marketplace and such it takes forever and a day to load the information. I just see that small 360 logo with the 'ripples' coming out of it.
And I know I'm not the only one. My wife has the problem also and she says several people that she plays CoD with complain about the same thing. Cheapy D from CAG was also complaining about the same thing in the most recent CAG podcast.

And I don't even know where to begin with the stupid ass waste of space avatars.

is there anything you like? dont be pullin a rodney king on anyone today

 

[Primetime]

Never had this problem. I've actually had more luck with NXE than the old user-face

Not really, LOL. I guess I'm going through one of those stages where everything about the 360 pisses me off. Next week it will probably be the PS3.

 

[FedEx227]

That's about the only thing I like about it.

anyways....i too have this issue. cant fuckin stand it

 

[Bomberooski]

Twigg, mine runs slower since NXE also.

 

[DNEUM]

Yea I get the same thing sometimes, pretty annoying. I wouldn't want to go to the old system because of it, but it would be nice if there was a way to reinstall it or something to see if it would fix problems like this.

Only reason i like the new one is the partys. Its so sick that we can all talk when playing a different game now. I remember when everyone would have to go play one game to talk.

that must've been a LONG time ago, because voice chat has always been available, regardless of the games that were being played. THe only difference is that you can talk to more than one person at a time now.

 

[Misogi]

see, its the exact opposite for me. with the old blades (which actually look better if you ask me), it would take forever to bring stuff up for some reason. and if i hit the guide button (to look at a message or w/e) while a game was loading, it would either completely lock up the system and i would have to reboot, or it would run REALLLLLLLLY slow. but the NXE is so damn quick. i wish i could have everything that came with the NXE (faster, party system) with the look of the old blades.

Agree completely with this statement..

I've never used the party system once. Thanks for being a bunch of bitches guys...

 

[Maynard]

have u guys with issues tried clearing the cache?

 

[Bomberooski]

Having a giant dick on your forehead will usually scare people off I guess.

Touche

 

[Bomberooski]

Does that lose your saves?

 

[Maynard]

Does that lose your saves?

no, not game saves or DL's....but if a update was done for a game then you will have to DL it again. But on the 360 it only takes seconds to do

CLEAR THE CACHE

go to the system blade select memory select hardrive hit y
hit x x lb rb x x hit yes

 

[Bomberooski]

The other part was directed towards twigg, which it looks like you figured out lol.

Oh yes. I understand your tantalizing ways.

 

[leaffan]

I don't have this problem. Everything is pretty smooth for me.

Only time I've ever seen it is when someones had a shitty ass network setup or some piece of crap router.

I wonder if that is possible?

I love how you guys are complaining about the speed of the blades moving. As long as the actual online connection is good when you are playing the actual games, and not being a dumb pig shopping on the marketplace all day when you have every fucking game known to man already, then you shouldn't be complaining.

LOL. I hear ya but it mostly pisses me off when I'm trying to send out invites or accept invites, whether to a game or to a voice chat or party. So that directly affects online gaming as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Twigg4075]

have u guys with issues tried clearing the cache?

Good call. I'll try that. I use to do that all the time with my old HDD but haven't done it yet with the new one.

But should I really be having cache problems with about 60GB of free space? Or is there even any correlation?

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

I like the NXE alot more than the old one. The old once was just too dated.

But yes theres no reason for it to be so damn sluggish. I have a much easier time pulling up the guide and lookin through friends list that way. I hate spending all that time waiting for stupid avatars to load up to see whos in a party etc.

In game...forget it I hate the time it takes to send or read messages.

And Im sure it effect alot of games...but UGH Gears of War party chat + Ghost cam = suckage.
Yes its helpful yes I use it but frankly I still feel its cheating. I dont like being able to be spotted and I dont like having to search the map for my teammate to figure out what he wants to do.
