Fall Update's Live ID management causes issues

by Dustin Burg on Dec 4th 2007 1:45AM

We've just been informed via Gamertag Radio and Xbox.com's TriXie that the Fall Update is releasing with a minor bug related to the new Live ID switching feature. Specifically, when you download the Fall Update and change the Live ID you have associated with your gamertag, a bunch of Xbox.com issues arise. Problems including all your Xbox.com forum posts being deleted, your community user level will go bye-bye, your icons will be erased and your gamertag will be replaced with with an "anonymous" name. The Xbox 360 dashboard team is trying their darnedest to get a fix in place and should have a solution available in the next few days. Until then, DO NOT change your Live ID that is associated with your gamertag until a fix is announced. You've been warned.

A wise man once said.."You get what you paid for"

Xvid and most Divx I have play fine. I did have a DivX3 that wouldn't play. Now if I could only figure out why all my MPEG4 V.2's won't play. Might be time to batch convert them up to Xvid. Also I heard reports that the Media Center doesn't get the DivX update, so if you use MC you will need to play videos by accessing your computer share in the Media blade then Video.

I'm not too keen on the Bandwidth heavy interfaces now. I can't even play a game until it finishes loading... and when you are shaped that's insult to injury.

I can't believe this! I was just about to switch my Live ID when I got back on my 360 this week.. I guess that will have to wait.

WOW! Xbox.com is jacked up. It looks like they are taking down parts of xbox.com to fix this issue because i'm seeing all sorts of strange behavior...weird.

Yeah - I learned the hardware not to mess with your gamertag at all. I was lazy and tried to recover my gamertag to the system downstairs and well, after 3 attempts no gamertag and the old one on the memory card is invalidated. That's what I get for being lazy... :)
