@C0D4 so it turns out this is a safety precaution since they had people abusing the cloud saves as an exploit to get and overwrite others' saves, so only if everyone on an Xbox is paying can it download saves too. A service rep manually allowed my Xbox to download saves.
>"it should be lifted by the end of this month"
the fuck is going on over there -
@NonImportant- Then maybe finally everyone will join the 🐧 side
-
@NonImportant- Windows 7 Starter. You had to upgrade to Home Basic at the very least to change wallpapers, have >2GB RAM, etc.

Doesn't surprise me at all. The entire xbox one is one giant shit show...
Get a new game? Wait an hour or two to be able to play....
Every game seems to take forever to actually load....
The interface itself is clunky and slow as fuck... just browsing the store is incredibly slow too...
I have personally taken taken to calling the Microsoft waitbox...
Oh the times when I wish I had actually stuck with the 360 instead...
Question: is the PlayStation any better with wait times and game installs? -
@NonImportant- They actually have exactly that in a sense. If you don't activate Windows 10 then it locks the wallpaper menu in the settings(you can still change it with right click though, so it's kinda useless).
-
@ftyross not that I can tell... they have higher bandwidth for PSN on PSN's side so you're less likely to hit serverside download bottlenecks but tbi
-
@NonImportant- keep waiting sitted, actually windows went to more free stuff direction instead of paywalls
-
@dontbeevil mostly because people started using autokms and stuff like that.
-
@NonImportant- are you referring to crack by kms? It has been like this for ages and never been a problem for ms, actually i think the piracy issue was higher in the past (windows 10 is still paid version, ms offered one year free upgrade but only to consumers, their bigger income is always been business)
-
@ftyross nope, the PlayStation is about the same. Still have to download everything and (at least the games I play) have 1-2 minute load screens every 15 or so minutes.
>got 2TB storage upgrade for Xbox One S
>plugs in
>format went well
>queue up ganes to download to external storage
>all is fine
>whoops a game crashed and hanged the console
>force-reboot xbox
>OH MY GOD ALL THE GAMES ARE GONE ALL OUR SAVES ARE GONE EVERYTHING'S GONE
>well at least the saves are all cloud saves
>wait why are they not resyncing
>Turns out you can sync saves upward but not downward if you don't pay for Gold for ALL ACCOUNTS ON THE XBOX, and gold family share doesn't count
>mfw Microsoft is ransoming save backups now
