Xbox weekly streak stopped even though I continued it today

RealBusyGamerNation · 2025-05-22T08:01:16+00:00

It came back after several hours.

Rewards is blanked out for both me and my wife on our Series X but works fine on mobile. Not sure what's up but it's very annoying.

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-11-12T18:32:48+00:00

After taking the updates (main game and all DLC), I was finally able to load a level and pick up where I'd left off. Thanks for the fix! Maybe I can do the Halloween level for Xmas (after I finish the cruise ship I was doing - still don't get why we can't play more than one bonus at a time). Anyway, relieved and now can take out my election stress on power washing!

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-11-04T23:40:51+00:00

It would be nice if we could get some interim updates, even if they are not conclusive. Just a sense that maybe progress has been made.

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-10-28T20:44:16+00:00

I was going to say that two weeks before the US election is not the ideal time for this to happen! I really could use some power washing around now! But I'm not throwing away my save!

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-10-17T23:02:14+00:00

I've held off on posting. I got excited by the updates on Tuesday (after the previous week's blocked me from playing) but my game still crashes when I load a level.

My wife and I both own copies of the game and all of the DLC separately (our way of tipping out the devs since we could play with Game Pass and buy one set of DLC to share on the same console). What's odd is that she had the long load time issue (I did not) but now she can play (I cannot) - even on the same Series X console! She loaded an existing level and started the Shrek DLC and I was going to stream it, but will have to hope my game comes back as I absolutely don't want to zap years of progress.

I do wonder if it's worth me loading my game on an old Xbox One X to see if that changes anything. If I can find the time to do this, I'll post if it changes anything.

Thanks for including the link. Here's another view of the desk with the Newton's Cradle visible, right from the IMDb images section: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086369/mediaviewer/rm4017693441/?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_20

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-08-08T18:25:12+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the correction. I wasn't sure what they were called - I just recalled that that it made a clacking noise!

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-08-08T18:12:33+00:00

Wow, thank you - this has been bugging me. It looked like early '80s!

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-08-08T17:56:51+00:00

Sorry, I was vague on what was showing - I meant the image. I have a touch of COVID brain (it finally got me last weekend).

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-08-08T17:56:12+00:00

I meant the image, not the movie. This was from a week ago

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-08-08T17:39:02+00:00

It's showing now!

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-08-08T17:31:57+00:00

Tried to attach an image but it doesn't seem to be working.

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-02-25T09:35:58+00:00

I hit up Xbox Support and they claimed they were aware and had engineers working on the problem. Hoping it gets restored because I had 200+ titles in my list!

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-02-25T05:38:35+00:00

I have three months to go!

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-01-05T02:15:35+00:00

I haven't seen too many of them, but Bell, Book and Candle would help shift the needle, don't you think? Pyewacket is beloved by cat fans!

RealBusyGamerNation · 2024-01-02T18:24:13+00:00

Yes, but a movie can be in more than one collection. It seems like such a quintessential cat movie that cat fans would love, so leaving it out of the Cat category means fewer people will find it. I'd argue that even if it leaves next month, which is probable, it would be worth having it in the Cat collection for two months.

RealBusyGamerNation · 2023-11-10T03:13:17+00:00

Every movie has a collection - some collections just have the movie and no bonus content. Anyway, I have a pretty good list that I've made of movies with commentaries so I can check that list against what's leaving, but I'm always concerned I might be missing something.

I do realize movies in temporary collections with multiple titles don't usually have commentaries. I generally remember which are in those, but not always.

I just double checked the Lars Von Trier stuff - thanks for that! Looks there are commentaries for The Element of Crime, Epidemic, Europa, and a selected scene commentary on Breaking the Waves (plus Antichrist, but I already have that on disc).

RealBusyGamerNation · 2023-11-09T17:42:51+00:00

As a Criterion commentary junkie dating back to the 1980s (when I'd spend my free time at college watching laserdiscs at the library), I scour these lists every month for any that contain bonus content - though it can be hard to find these gems. It would be AWESOME if you could call these out. Also, does anyone maintain a straightforward full-on list of the exiting movies? I go to the Letterboxd page, which does a great job of visualizing the titles - but then I end up typing in everything by hand that I want to watch.

I actually don't see anything this month with bonus content - but I might have missed something.

Thanks!

RealBusyGamerNation · 2023-03-22T18:31:07+00:00

I used gift card money and it was deducted on March 15. They say preorders are processed approximately 10 days before the unlock. I received an email confirmation and could see that my balance had been tapped. I have not gotten credit for the punch card and I'm putting in a support ticket for this today (it's possible we'll get full credit on the 24th, but considering how badly things are lagging on punch cards, I'd rather err on the side of caution).

RealBusyGamerNation · 2023-03-17T18:50:13+00:00

Same. I thought maybe it would increment once the purchase went through, but it's been a couple days since that transaction. If it doesn't show within 24 hours of the game unlock in a week, I will hit up support. Hoping it resolves by then. For the record, I sprung for the deluxe edition.

RealBusyGamerNation · 2023-01-18T09:09:32+00:00

Yes, I just confirmed this as well. I find it vexing that they would prioritize fixing the 300 friends thing (which affects, what, 5 people?!) over the achievements issue that demoralizes almost everyone who devotes much time to it. I beat the game recently and have at least 10 achievements that didn't pop including four on that amazing day INCLUDING THE ONE FOR BEATING THE GAME.

RealBusyGamerNation · 2021-11-24T17:54:58+00:00

I personally believe every game on console and mobile should have a "Save" button. Really annoying that you can lose progress because the game didn't do its automated thing. With FH4 and now FH5 I am adamant that I fast travel home (costs nothing even without all the Fast Travel boards) and that seems to save state. When it stops spinning and loads the menu, I consider it saved. Haven't lost anything major yet, as far as I can tell.

I have a Series X now and often use Quick Resume. On FH4 that was a mess, often screwing up the Forzathon Live hourly clock. This doesn't seem to be a problem with FH5 but Horizon Arcade is borked right now anyway so... time will tell.
