My friend had Gears 3 crash a few times as well before he gave up on it. Seems like it's decently widespread.

Deux Ex is the one and only at the moment.

Says who? The GoD version in the BC emulator is the original, single disc release, same as it was on the 360. Not the two disc Director's Cut.

Microsoft solved the issue, Deus Ex was the first game to have 2 disks that is BC on Xbox One.

That would be The Witcher 2.

It is but there was a digital version (like L.A Noire) that the XB1 file could be based on unlike the majority of multidisc games. There was also a re-release of the Witcher 2 that had everything on one disc (silver box edition).

And the DXHR version up on BC is the single disc GoD that's been around for ages.

Ah, there you go. So multidisc games didn't usually get digital versions on the 360? Never knew that. Learn something new everyday.

Did Mass Effect 2 and 3 get digital versions, just out of curiosity?

Depends. If it came out after GoD was a thing, or used the install feature, chances are good it got a digital release. A good example is Assassin's Creed III. Two discs physical, one single GoD image.

Yes it was, but that had already released a Games on Demand version of it which muted the early two disc problem (kinda like Max Payne 3 and LA Noir)

I don't know of a multidisc game in the BC list that wasn't previously available as a GoD on the 360.

Finished it a few months ago. Played fine for me. No crash at all

Both versions are backwards compatible. For some reason the Director's Cut version isn't available digitally on the Xbox 360 so you have to get physical copy to play it on the Xbox One.

But that's not exactly relevant considering the emulator got update to a new version just a few days ago. The problems seem to be specific to the new build.

Ah, I wasn't aware of this. I knew that Doom 3 had been made BC w/o being made available digitally, but didn't realize that DXHRC had done the same.

Was confused because I've seen people refer to Deus Ex or DXHR as being two discs, when it was only the DC that was two discs.

Which version is it running?

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Which version is it running?

1.0.1608.43021

 

[Syriel]

1.0.1608.43021

That's not the latest emulator. Banjo N&B is running 1609.

I suppose whatever issues cropped up with 1608 will be addressed in another build or so.

And Banjo N&B is a good choice for testing performance because that game pushes the hardware in the overworld.

Odds are the issue is specific to Gears of War 3, and it's quite possible the issue is still present in all builds after the one used for Gears 3. It'll need to be targeted directly. I imagine we'll see a new build specifically dedicated to fixing this issue (which could quite possibly be a modified version of the same older build), and future emulator builds will port that fix over.

 

[Max_Po]

Pretty crazy they went through the effort of getting it up and running BC for the sole purpose of making it GWG then.

Pretty Crazy?

Its was used as a promote for FH3....

[Emperor Bohe]

Any must have dlc for Forza horizon 1?

 

[dLMN8R]

Aw man I don't actually own the original Horizon. I thought I did. Any cheap codes available anywhere?

 

[dreamfall]

I hope they put up the DLC for a major sale before it gets delisted. Loved the game to death on the 360, recently tried it on the XBO. It's still amazing, but I never got around to buying the Season Pass.

End of the line!

 

[Loxley]

Picked up a copy of L4D2 for shits and giggles, and I'm shocked at how well it runs overall. My memory is that the 360 version's framerate was kind of terrible (though I may be wrong), so it's nice to see the emulation is really solid.

 

[chronic_archaic]

I wish my Virtua Fighter 5 disc would unlock Final Showdown. I bought it with my 360 in 2009 and it's still really good, but can't justify buying it again. Hopefully they put it on sale.

CDKeys has it for ~$11. That's about it that I've seen.

i tested input lag in VF5FS XB1 compared to 360. same stick, monitor and HDMI cable.

the results may shock you!!!!!1

[gossi]

I've spent a few hours playing Call of Duty 3 through BC. Not only does it run great, with a stable 60fps upscaled to 4K, but there's still loads of people in multiplayer. 24 player multiplayer matches with vehicles and medics, much fun.

Weren't both the season pass and VIP on sale for $5 ea when Horizon was the GwG freebie?

so, in plain english what do the results mean? less input lag on the XBO or the opposite?

does this really hinder the gameplay?

If you buy the season pass, you get everything minus the pre-order pack and VIP pack. The season pass has tons of cars and the Rally expansion. It's worth it.

Do you know if I need an Xbox 360 to redeem the Forza Horizon DLC? I bought the season pass for Gears 3 and in order to use the DLC I had to unlock it through the game on my 360.

1frame worse on XB1, but that's 1/60th of one second so it's negligible. 3f is really really low lag.
for reference, SFV has 8 frames of input lag on PS4.

 

[xch1n]

Has anyone been able to get a 360 Forza Horizon save to load on Xbox One? I've seen a few complaints but can't get it to actually use my savegame. I uploaded to cloud storage on Xbox 360, but on Xbox One it just restarts me from the beginning of the game. When I started the Xbox One, it went through a long "syncing" process, but still punts me to new game.

Great job, man. What was the tested input lag on arcade VF5? I recall reading that some official arcade cabinet setups suffer surprisingly high levels of input latency. If only someone constantly bringing up the input lag on X1 BC would instead take the time to try and document it.

Great job! So is this with the update that improved latency or is that update still only available for insiders?

Edit:

I'm guessing the update to improve latency is still only available for insiders. Tried out red dead and it's still nearly unplayable due to the controller lag.

If you bought Final Showdown or any other XBLA game, that game will still be tied to your account and (if backwards compatible) downloadable on Xbox One right now.

Yes they were.

I was inferring that I don't own it. I know how everything works

No sympathy tbh.

I bought the season pass through Xbox.com and was able to redeem everything through FH1's in-game marketplace, which is located at the main festival area of the game.

If you buy the pass, you're entitled to everything, with the exception of the pre-order pack and VIP pack.

haven't tested VF5 vanilla, that might be interesting

probably unrelated to update.

Forza Horizon EOL coming Oct. 20

While we’re reveling in the euphoria of launching a brand-new Forza game, I do have an important update regarding the original Forza Horizon. On October 20, the original Forza Horizon for Xbox 360 will reach “End of Life” status. That means that the game and its associated DLC will no longer be available for purchase. Players who own Forza Horizon before that date will still be able to download and play the game and its associated content as normal. After that date, however, Forza Horizon and its associated DLC will no longer be for sale.

Yeah, I posted about it when it updated 3 days ago, looks like Rare themselves are a bit slow on the uptake!

Now I regret not buying the season pass when it was on sale :/

 

[xrnzaaas]

That's very surprising news. Did the same thing happen to older FM games? And what about the servers?

 

[psychotron]

[EffEmmGee]

I've not tried it myself yet, but someone else on here said that it now runs about the same as it did on Xbox 360.

 

[Chris1]

Servers stays up, game still works if you own it.

Only difference is you can't buy it digitally any more really. Gotta imagine they will put the DLC on sale again before it gets delisted.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Does it fix the issues?

The only issues I and others ever seemed to have were based on the bigger-than-original-hardware framerate drops in the main hub at Showdown Town, probably due to forced V-sync the X1 BC has. If that was your issue, then yes, it fixed it.

 

[KyleCross]

Curious, have games with performance issues been corrected yet? I remember a few months ago DigitalFoundry released some pretty unflattering framerate tests (such as the Gears games). I'm asking to see if I should dust my 360 off and just play via that.

Awesome. Definitely going to pick it up then.

That's not the latest emulator. Banjo N&B is running 1609.

I suppose whatever issues cropped up with 1608 will be addressed in another build or so.

And Banjo N&B is a good choice for testing performance because that game pushes the hardware in the overworld.

1608 isn't the build, that's the month it was built...

 

[Backlogger]

We haven't heard anything yet that I am aware. The 1st one is BC but I am worried that WB could be testing the waters with re-releasing on current gen consoles since they are doing this for LEGO Harry Potter 1-2 on PS4. If its successful they may look to release some kind of bundle for Batman 1-2 as well.
